Dream Theater Night Terror Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
Spiders seeking shelter
Fading with the dawn
Vanishing at sunrise
As morning light shines on

[Verse 2]
Sacrificial martyr
Victim dressed in white
Headed for the slaughter
Angels cry for her tonight
[Pre-Chorus]
To the cross
At the stake
To the lions
On the rack I break
I break

[Chorus]
Night terror
Hysteria
Nocturnal trial by fire
Eyes open wide but I can't see

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Mind awake
Body at rest
Drifting through sleep transitions
Borderland state
Swimming through waves
Sensory dream condition [Verse 4]
Without warning
I fall down the bottomless well
Flesh is crawling
Need to claw my way out of this hell
[Pre-Chorus]
By the sword
On the wheel
Twisting in the wind
Pierce the silence
With a scream
Why can't I remember anything?
Anything?

[Chorus]
Night terror
Hysteria
Nocturnal trial by fire
Eyes open wide but I can't see

[Instrumental Break]

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Night terror
Hysteria
Nocturnal trial by fire
Eyes open wide but I can't see
Night terror
Hysteria
Nocturnal trial by fire
Eyes open wide but I can't see
I can't see
