Pavor Nocturnus
(Music & Lyrics: E. Tapia)
Day recedes in the distance, dragged down into the horizon
Torment awaits, I fear what is to come
I close my eyes and step into this world of darkness where my demons dwell
Fallen into a realm of terror, no mercy is shown for my battered soul
Slumber I fear
As the sun fades, I prepare for the fight
Pavor Nocturnus: Haunting me when my eyes close, insomnia sets forth
No escape in sight. I'm held hostage by my own mind
Wishing for the end of night, I plead for day's first light
Manifesting my greatest fears; is this a dream or is it real?
Slumber I fear
As the sun fades, I prepare for the fight
Pavor Nocturnus: Haunting me when my eyes close, insomnia sets forth
A maddening struggle, a war within, a battle I simply cannot win
No peace can be found; neither in day nor in night
Wandering aimlessly in search of light; I surrender
Constantly dreading the moment when I close my eyes; I surrender
Haunting me, killing me slowly by day and by night; I surrender
Helplessly, fighting a battle that cannot be won, I surrender
Lead: Tapia
Lead: Stucky
Helplessly, fighting a battle that cannot be won, I surrender
Can it be that I'm condemned to these horrors of night forever?
Sanity trickling away from this tormented mind; it's all over
Slumber I fear
As the sun fades, I prepare for the fight
Pavor Nocturnus
