Lyrics
A Nightmare
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You feel the breath of cold metal now
Blades shred bones, blood flows
Angels sing the hymn of death
As christ is burnt in light
A forest of light, god’s dancing on clouds
Fire is burning the wood
Angels dance and christ is screaming
Fog and smoke, the music explodes
Skulls accumulate, a step, bones burst, watch the cross
The blood, the body is allied, as jesus christ dies
Ascending a white marble staircase then
Counting more than a thousand steps
I reached the top, out of breath
Watched into the wind
I’m falling down, the floor disappears
Soul and body are torn apart
And me, oh god,
I can’t decide
To die in heaven or on asphalt
