It wasn't quite as dramatic as in the poem, but that was all I needed to make up the rest. Lyrics My last nightmare was quite unusually grimI went to the City of Bones in a dreamIt was oddly bright, neatly polished and primOn the field of my prayers impaled by screamCHCold sweat and once again I gasped for airDeath sang its lullaby in my nightmare V2The City where souls become lifeless and dullI decided to stay in that weird dreamscape My thoughts – sleepy bats at the roof of my skullCame alive with the night to revolt, to escapeBRThey crept on the paper and chewed on my penWith voices disturbing, when night was intenseThey scowled and grimaced again and againWhile whispering something that didn’t make senseCHCold sweat, and once again I gasped for airDeath sang its lullaby in my nightmare V3The hideous beast with his reeking breathWas my life in a flesh. He made a point to tellThat we’ll be together until wicked DeathDo us part, and we all would be going to hellCHCold sweat and once again I gasped for airDeath sang its lullaby in my nightmare V4While I struggled to flee, with blood up to my kneesSomeone waved to me standing on bones in the strandScrambling to run from my hideous beastI desperately grabbed at the thrust-out handBR“Let me help you” – she said with a marvelous grace Stretching her mouth in a lascivious grin,“I am Death. Don’t you worry, you’re in a safe place…”She didn’t finish, I jolted awake from the dream CHCold sweat and once again I gasped for airDeath sang its lullaby in my nightmare!CHCold sweat and once again I gasped for airDeath sang its lullaby in my nightmare!
