A blood red moon is shining And outside in the still Creatures of the night arise Get ready for the kill The voices in the darkness Sirens in the air A crying that no soul can hear The screams of your despair Living on a nightmare Living on a nightmare It still carries on when we have gone Oh, Living on a nightmare (Nightmare! Nightmare! Nightmare! Nightmare!) Gruesome steps behind you Electrify the nerves You're paralyzed, the end is near You get what you deserved Your home will be the graveyard Your crypt my lifeless hand The end in sight for hell is here We'll see the very end Nightmare! Nightmare! This night we take another soul Nightmare before the dawn Living on a nightmare Living on a nightmare It still carries on when we have gone Oh, Living on a nightmare Living on a nightmare Heavy metal nightmare The soul they will burn when you return Oh, Living on a nightmare (Nightmare! Nightmare!)
