about

Nightmare was originally composed circa 2006-2007. The music was conceived during a practice session by one of my former bands, "Eden". I soon after wrote the lyrics, in an attempt to convey the feeling of nightmares.

Having never released this track, I took liberty to more accurately re-compose the music to the feeling I was going for. I wanted a soft, dreamy melody that carried as if a distant memory. Which would be disrupted in the refrain, attempting to abruptly remove the listener from the ambiance, as if being suddenly frightened by a terror!

lyrics

Where the world comes crashing down
Near the sunny beaches in your head
I will visit you, as a mist
a fairy tale in your sleep

Like a shadow lurking near
like ice "I" will caress your spine
and in that dream where you feel comfort
beads of sweat will drip from within

Lie, in your nightmare
scream, be afraid
Chained and afflicted
tonight I will be near

Shivering as I breath into your ear
I will cast out all the angels that grant you ward
your greatest fears are five fold
pray that morning will bless your soul

Lie, in your nightmare
scream, be afraid
chained and afflicted
tonight I will be near
