VERSE 1:

Slow decay, that all must turn to dust

This, the bane of my dreams

Lie awake, afraid to fall asleep -

Fear of what they might breed.

Born to die, life but a few short years;

Dead for eternity.

No escape from mankind's one sure fate

Trapped by mortality

PRE CHORUS:

Blackness surrounds

Terror confounds

Loss of control

All hope must fail

VERSE 2:

Cold, the sweat pouring from my skin

Fast, the beat of my heart

Lost the hope for life's eternal truth

Found - a fear of the dark

End defined by vision paranoid

Told in stark fantasy

No defense - mind succumbs at last

Falls unto entropy.

REPEAT PRE CHORUS

CHORUS:

Dark dreams of the long night

Hope dies in the twilight

Can't breathe? Anxiety the cause

Cold sweat as you're waiting for

The Long Night.

VERSE 3:

Death in dream the harbinger of fate?

Life, is brought to it's knees.

Now become most lucid of my thoughts

Dread, as vision repeats.

I descend further into dark

Drawn to reaper's domain

Fierce, the grip that rests upon my heart

Blood like ice within veins

REPEAT PRE CHORUS

CHORUS 2:

Dark dreams of the long night

Hope dies in the twilight

Can't breathe? Anxiety the cause

Cold sweat as you're waiting for

Dark dreams of the long night

Hope dies in the twilight

Can't breathe? Anxiety the cause

Lost sleep to the demons of ...

The Long Night.
