Haunting Nightmare
These bloody nightmares haunt my sleep.
Through my brain despair quickly creeps.
Images of such horrid beasts and cheats.
To bring me down in bitter defeat.
Horrible scenes of massacred beings.
Strwen about in nightmareish schemes.
Devised destruction from these things.
They kill and mame to farther their sick twisted games.
No sense of shame.
Their evils plain.
Marching on with their sickly game.
These nightmares haunt us like a crime.
We need to stop it in good time.
Or we'll be conquered by the slime

Black Widow
I just love my nightmares
I cant wait to sleep
Enjoying all my dreams
Got no regrets
I can be a flash of lightning
Striking down on rocks
Burning down the law
Getting things I never got
Turning the world
Nothing unheard
One night can be more than a day
Just like a black widow
Like a black widow
I cant stand the dreamers
Scared of things that fly
They just have sweet fantasies
And fade and die
Nightmares - are so good, so good
And they always end just when they should
Nightmares are cool, nightmares are cruel
I love the fun and the thrill
Just like a black widow
Like a black widow
Black widow
Just like a black widow
Here comes the morning
And who can deny
Leaving the dream is so hard
I love my nightmares
I await their return
And this time, Im dressed to kill, dressed to kill
Just like a black widow............

You Still Touch Me
Another night finds me alone
In my dreams
You still touch me
Your picture by my telephone
In that smile
You still thrill me
Now if I sleep I sleep here alone
In my bed tonight
You still haunt me
And if I'm falling
I'm falling like a stone
In my nightmares
You still hold me
And after all that we've been through
Now I'm wondering
If you still blame me
If only half of this was true
That you believe of me
You still shame me
Dark rain will fall until I see your face
I close my eyes
I seem to hear the raindrops saying
You won't come back
You still touch me
And when I'm sick at heart and low
In my prayers
You still heal me
When I'm so sure this isn't so
In my complacency
You still shake me
I wonder if you feel the same way as I do
And you'd come back
You still touch me
Another night finds me alone
In my bed tonight
You still haunt me
You still hold me
You still touch me

Realms Of Darkness
Within the realms of darkness,
our nightmares stalk us
to haunt our mortal fears
in the hours we are awake.
They prey upon our fears
from the shadows of our mind.
Hiding in alleyways
that we leave behind
their footsteps can be heard
following close behind
as we traverse a new day.
Keeping us looking over our shoulder
ever watchful for what’s behind.
Even in the safety of love’s heart,
we look uneasily around
for within the realms of darkness
our nightmares compound
to haunt us there
as they spy on us
from the shadows everywhere.

Jack-o-lantern
this is my diary
i know your
sick of me
im sick of me too
and all of my twisted
magical voodoo
my lanterns burning
with a dark shade
hearts that are wild
arent easily tamed
sometimes forget
just who I am
when Im at my best
I know you cant stand
the sight of me
I do not blame you
go up against me
i just may mame you
ive been a star
since I was born
until the day
my bodys not warm
then a black hole
I shall become
I will devour
the power of the sun
to my discresion
I shall decide
just who will live
or who deserves to die
this I will call
the great afterlife
who are you kidding?
put down that knife
I am immortal
you bring me no pain
I am the king here
your caught in my game
and my games laced tight
like you wouldnt believe
go up against me
walk away in defeat
even in sleep
i follow a pattern
no one can ever
extinguish my lantern
which burns of matter
living of two kinds
beat up the physical
the mental shall shine
into a supernova
my own hyperdrive
you think I was beaten
will Im still alive
yeah Im still the man
whom I have created
with or without you
somehome Ill still make it
these are my stories
of my time on this earth
so go ahead and witness
my constant re-birth
much to your chagrin

I Dream Of Nightmares...
I dream of nightmares
under my skin
I dream of nightmares
over and over again
the nightmares I dream
all seem so real
the sound the smell
the touch the feel
I dream of nightmares
in day and night
somehow never filled with fright
I'm always relaxed and very calm
even standing in front of a bomb
the calmness never leaves my soul
because I dream of nightmares
and they never get old

Still Life
Dave Murray, Steve Harris
Take a look in the pool and what do you see
In the dark depths there faces beckoning me
Can't you see them it's plain for all to see
They were there oh I know you don't believe me.
Oh...I've never felt so strange
But...I'm not going insane.
I've no doubt that you think I'm off my head
You don't say but it's in your eyes instead
Hours I spend out just gazing into that pool
Something draws me there I don't know what to do.
Oh...they drain my strength away
Oh...they're asking me to stay.
Nightmares...spirits calling me
Nightmares...they won't leave me be.
All my life's blood is slowly draining away
And I feel that I'm weaker every day
Somehow I know I haven't long to go
Joining them at the bottom of the pool.
Now...I feel they are so near
I...begin to see them clear
Nightmares...coming all the time
Nightmares...Will give me peace of mind.
Now it's clear and I know what I have to do
I must take you down there to look at them too
Hand in hand then we'll jump right into the pool
Can't you see not just me they want you too.
Oh...we'll drown together
It...will be forever.
Nightmares...forever calling me
Nightmares...Now we rest in peace.

Hit With Shame
hit with shame like losing my game
swollen lips are singing my name
tears are hot and drumming like rain
i’ve had it enough
had it enough
hit with shame like writhing with pain
every word’s proclaiming my blame
every effort turns out lame
i’m sick of that stuff
sick of that stuff
ask for nothing else you say
it’s your fault
you have to pay
for every day
for every day
for every bloody single day
hit with shame and hit with disdain
every move’s increasing the strain
every flower adds to the chain
i cannot go on
cannot go on
hit with shame like hit on my brain
feel as if I’m watching a play
think I’m gonna give it away
i’m sick of it all
sick of it all
this is what you get you say
it’s your guilt
and don’t complain
you must pay
you must pay
for every bloody single day

The Only Beast Out Here Is You
You throw on the floor what you don't need anymore
And toss them like a stone, never mind the broken bones.
Justify the senseless death with a false sense of accomplishment,
You found a way to turn blood gold, murder’s always best served cold
You’re sick, twisted, depraved
With your clever word games,
They’re just like us, but not enough
That’s how you justify the tests
That’s how you justify the deaths
Say they’re all just mindless beasts
But you don’t see the irony
Face it cuz you know it’s true
The only beast out here is you
It’s simplified design, no hidden message in the rhyme
Lead them to the slaughter, spill their blood upon the altar
Take the lives that can’t defend, and break the ones you cannot bend
You found a way to get rich off this, bleed them dry to make a profit
You’re sick, twisted, depraved
With your clever word games,
They’re just like us, but not enough
That’s how you justify the tests
That’s how you justify the deaths
Say they’re all just mindless beasts
But you don’t see the irony
Face it cuz you know it’s true
The only beast out here is you
You think to keep the wolves at bay
With all the clever things you say
Manipulate the public state
By filling up their dinner plates
Murder whets their appetites
Yet they lose no sleep at night
You’re sick, twisted, depraved
With your clever word games,
They’re just like us, but not enough
That’s how you justify the tests
That’s how you justify the deaths
Say they’re all just mindless beasts
But you don’t see the irony
Face it cuz you know it’s true
The only beast out here is you

Promises in high standard!
My Motto is your Goodwill!
I would like to see each citizen
with good health, wealth and prosperity.
If I come to the power by chance
At least I give a small jet to each & every citizen
who could see Mars and If you like to work there you could bring foreign currency to our land?
Those who have not seen the stars in day light
This may be a Golden opportunity for them
And please make a cross in front of my precious photograph
on your ballot paper chum!

Good For You
Hey will you stay awhile
My smile will not mislead you
Cause Ive been alone
My faith turned to stone
Still theres something in you I believe in
Close to the pierce I go wild and fierce
Still I let you be, I feel you next to me
Cause inside I feel a wind that starts to blow
Im taken in your undertow
Everything is fine, Im lonely all the time
Cause all I want to do is be there
For the things that youre going through
Well, is it good for you is it good for you
Cause you haunt my nights when
I dont know where my life should go
Well, is it good for you, is it good for you
Hey child please stay a while
My smile will not mislead you
Cause Ive been without I go wild with doubt
I grab at you I cant stop grabbing at you
Cause I feel you cross my mind
In disarray, intoxicated ricochet
Theres nothing wrong just dont take too long
Cause all I want to do is be there
For the things that youre going through
Well, is it good for you is it good for you
Cause you haunt my nights when
I dont know where my life should go
Well, is it good for you
Well, is it good for you
All I want to do is be there
For the things that youre going through
Well is it good for you
Well is it good for you
Cause you haunt my nights when
I dont know where my life should go
Well is it good for you
Well is it good for you

Even In Death
Even in death I will forever haunt you,
You made me feel worthless,
You made me cry,
We have fought like friends would fight,
But you have the nerves to lie to me saying that you didn’t talk about me,
Quit saying these mean ugly rumors about me,
Quit all the things you have caused me,
So long farewell,
Even in death I will haunt you wherever you go,
When you sleep I will haunt you,
When you eat I will banish you,
When you fight my friends I will hurt you,
Even thou I die I will haunt every step you take that is my promise to you.

Soldiers Of Darkness
These are the creatures- born to be wild
Nightmares and pictures of uncertain kind
Born again to kill- any luscious dream
Caught in a war- where they love you to be
In the darkest night- they taunt ya
Mean- in the way they haunt ya
Is that the fight you battle for
Everything is dark- pain is creeping up
Wake up chilled with fear- like never before
Tonight- tonight- gonna have to push for more
In the darkest night- they taunt ya
Mean- in the way they haunt ya
Hey you- take me higher- higher to the danger zone
To the danger zone
They love your sweat - they are collecting tears
You die- you cry- just a dream and nothing more
You cannot hide- you cannot fight
All you want is leave- leave this evil dream
In the darkest night- they taunt ya
Mean- in the way they haunt ya
Hey you- take me higher- higher to the danger zone
Hey you- take me higher- higher to the danger zone
But morning light will free you
Fears and tears are gone
Here they die- the darkness soldiers- another war is won
These are the creatures- born to be wild
Nightmares and pictures of uncertain kind
Wake up chilled with fear- like never before
Tonight- tonight- gonna have to push for more
In the darkest night- they taunt ya
Mean- in the way they haunt ya
Hey you- take me higher- higher to the danger zone
Hey you- take me higher- higher to the danger zone
But morning light will free ya
Fears and tears are gone
Here they die- the darkness soldiers- another war is won

Haunt You Everyday
I don't feel the joy
I don't feel the pain
You were just a toy
I am just insane
Walking on my own
Leaving you behind
You are crying out
That you need to speak your mind
[chorus:]
Ohhh
So alone in love
So alone in love
I'm going to haunt you every day
Haunt you every day
I am gonna kill
When I need a thrill
Eating at the heart
Till I've had my fill
When will stupid learn
Fire's gonna burn
Think of consequence
Then you move when it's your turn
[chorus:]
Ohhh
So alone in love
So alone in love
I am going to haunt you every day
Haunt you every day
[guitar solo]
Walking on my own
Leaving you behind
You were crying out
That you need to speak your mind
Ohh so alone in love
So alone at night

I Wish I'd Said No
By playing a round he was a billionaire,
His adoring public would stop and stare,
Now he's cheated he can hear them all say,
For what you've done there'll be a large price to pay.
You'll be driven to insanity when you realise,
To your wife and family you've brought tears to their eyes,
The man they all loved who just couldn't be beat,
Is not who they thought he's turned into a cheat.
Because of your lust, your life is in tatters,
You took the risk now you've lost all that matters.
To anyone out there who thinks cheating's a game,
Adultery will bring you nothing but shame.
If tempted be aware of the consequences,
There'll be nowhere to hide or sitting on fences,
It's when not if you finally get caught,
You'll be wishing there were other pleasures you'd sought.
It will affect your performance in more ways than one,
For a life without loved ones is not much fun,
The problem with cheats is they don't ever learn,
A bad reputation is the reward that you earn.
Your life as you know it will then disappear,
You'll be left with nothing but a feeling of fear,
You will ask yourself questions, was it worth it and why,
The answers will make you want to curl up and die.
For the rest of your life the pain will be there,
You'll be left on your own feeling total despair,
The memories will haunt you wherever you go,
That's when you'll think,
‘' I Wish I'd Said No ‘'
Nurturing Hero
Tell me the courage you would have when your child is endanger.
What lengths would you go to save her.
The animal is rabid run, run, run.
Get the gun, before the dog gets to it.
Your taking to long just hand me that shovel I'll beat the damn thing as it is foaming at the mouth.
You tell me not to get to close.
That is an impossibility with this instrument of destruction.
Just don't distract me, when the adrenaline is running.
The blood is pumping.
I hit it over and over again, but only out of mercy.
The quicker it dies the better.
Please just stop convulsing.
Let their be an end to this poor creature suffering.
Don't let her watch what is wrong with you?
I wouldn't want to give her nightmares of horrible images of blood and brains splattering across the grass.
I had to it couldn't be helped.
Somebody needed to do something fast.
I am a nurturing hero.
Protect others before yourself.
Don't hold nothing back when it comes those you love.

Nightmares
Nightmares sneaking in my bed
Living life over in my head
Causing all the fear to come back alive
Bringing back memories with such drive
In them, someone always after me
Why can't they let me go and let me be free
Afraid to go to sleep at night
They will start and cause such fright
The nightmares just won't go away
In my sleep they still betray
Feelings that are buried deep down
When I go to sleep they come around
My mind, my life I thought free of them
What I think's behind me, will always stem
So when I go to bed I pray
That I can sleep tonight, until the day!

Sick of Being Sick
I’m sick of being rejected;
I’m sick of being emotionally neglected;
I’m sick of crying so many tears;
I’m sick of running away from my fears;
I’m sick of my childhood nightmares;
I’m sick of being told to do those stupid dares;
I’m sick of not having friends;
I’m sick of all these dead ends;
I’m sick of myself for what I’ve become;
I’m sick of feeling oh so numb;
I’m sick of watching myself drown;
I’m sick of my heart falling to the ground;
I’m sick of this life;
I’m sick of this everyday strife;
I’m sick of not having a dad;
I’m sick of getting mad;
I’m sick of my childhood past;
I’m sick of being harassed;
I’m sick of the dread;
I’m sick of wanting to be dead;
I’m sick of being the one who’s always so strong;
I’m sick of being somebody that doesn’t belong! !

Nightmares
Asian nightmares come from the heavens,
Under the flowers is a soil to grow,
Where nightmares exist,
The folly of horses and different steeds,
In the right path they tread.
Africa has no dream of its own
But that of horses riding, openly dying
When they gallop, stealing the grass and sand
With their enormous hooves.
Nightmares are against the teaching of the public.
