[Prevail]

In the beginning all I hear is people singing

Deep and low with iron bells ringing

And there's a source of heat near my feet

Im so weak I pass in and out of sleep

Flashes of light blotches of colour

I yell out for help but its drown out by weather

Downpour terenchal power of the vengeful

This was all triggered by the sub-conscious central

Sweet dreams are hideous lets not confuse those

Bad dreams will find you confine you to circles

Every other movement is slowed by your mind

That's why stabbing them blind is no crime

With no REM. your bound to cave in

And life in the conscious life is quite grim

If I can't escape than I'll die in my sleep

Cause the cliff is to steep and the waters to deep

[Chorus: Mad Child & Prevail]

Sound familiar bad dreams can kill ya

Deeper the sleep the realer man I feel ya

Bad dreams sad scenes and fear

You don't want to have to wake up here

Bad dreams you don't want to have to wake up here

Bad dreams sad scenes and fear

you don't want to have to wake up here

Bad Dreams

you don't want to have to wake up here

[Mad Child:]

Im running down a hall with one wall of flames

With friends I've never seen in my life with strange names

Sound familiar bad dreams can kill ya

Pains not what it seems cold stares and sudden screams

I get in fights every night as im reflecting

Throwing punches fast hard as I can but not connecting

There protected by a force field locked in an engagement

Until I see the colour red when pounding heads into the pavement

Caught up in a chase scene or working on a plan

Sometimes im falling and I have to wake up before I land

Lots of doors to open afraid what I might find

My girlfriend getting fucked with eight more guys in line

Cant wait to rise and shine when ill thoughts are provoked

My girlfriends right beside me getting choked

In real life plus I heard it could get worse

So much for walking in my sleep that's close to murder in the first

[Chorus: Mad Child & Prevail]

Sound familiar bad dreams can kill ya

Deeper the sleep the realer man I feel ya

Bad dreams sad scenes and fear

You don't want to have to wake up here

Bad dreams you don't want to have to wake up here

Bad dreams sad scenes and fear

you don't want to have to wake up here

Bad Dreams

you don't want to have to wake up here

[Prevail]

They say that most people can only dream in black and white

That's why he packs a knife and only reappears at night

I pray for the light to turn him back to stone

And shine bright enough so I can find my way home

[Mad Child]

Watching myself from above and just behind

Like im controlling video games inside my mind

Be careful what you dream for because its right there

Sometimes day dreams turn into nightmares

[Prevail]

I've prepared the chair

electricity rumbles through the air

You don't want to have to wake up here

Its cold in the morning

Breath the eternal frost of our dawning

[Mad Child]

Plus its dark and death

With slight hints of ??

So cold im spitting icicles

Rip right through the flesh

Smoke forms with every breath

The sound of children screaming

Pinch my self I have to wake up

Afraid of dreaming

[Chorus: Mad Child & Prevail]

Sound familiar bad dreams can kill ya

Deeper the sleep the realer man I feel ya

Bad dreams sad scenes and fear

You don't want to have to wake up here

Bad dreams you don't want to have to wake up here

Bad dreams sad scenes and fear

you don't want to have to wake up here

Bad Dreams

you don't want to have to wake up here
