Nightmare’s Embrace

[Verse] Whispers in the hallways Drawing circles on the floor Candles flicker shadows Darkness promises more [Verse 2] Gathered in the moonlight Fingers clutching tight A ritual for secrets Unlocking endless night [Chorus] One by one we fade away Into nightmare’s cold embrace Friends we lose like grains of sand Survival slipping through our hands [Verse 3] Voices in the silence Echoes of our cries Haunted by a presence Fear in every eye [Bridge] Running through the madness Shattered hopes at every turn Desperation’s echo In the lessons we must learn [Verse 4] Creeping shadows find us Nowhere left to hide Nightmare’s grip is tighter Pulling us inside
