Analysis of Nightmare



Stone temple by a cemetery
A crescent moon bleeding to the stars
A naked tree scary as when the wind
Howls into its bones
Ruthless wind whistles by the ear
And a shadow starts creeping
Near to you as farther you go
A racing heartbeat would bang
With each whisper pass through the ear
As the eyes starts to search where there’s no one
Somebody please let me away through the path
As when the winds laugh into my minds
And a footstep follows me with no one behind
I walk and run but why won’t this road end
To the time where my life stats to fade
I hear the bells of the tower that never rang
And the bush turns into spikes and hooks
When the earth starts to tremble as I feel
I’m walking into my cemetery for the first time
And those who’ll lick my blood as some chew my flesh
I wake into my bed with sweats down my forehead
