Lyrics:
In me it grew
With fangs and claws
And it's out for blood

Open the gate
To make the soul tear
Away the nightmare I can't contain
Lingering will of evil inside
I won't let you escape from me

Wide awake
The dead don't sleep
Shadows hanging over me
I am paralyzed
Gazing back at me
My glimpse of hell

Wait for the light
And day will not come
I know that I might
Fade out of memory
If I don't wake up

My eyes define the night like windows
My soul aside
They still remain closed
And if I die before I wake up
I pray that I remain in your chest

Wide awake
The dead don't sleep
Shadows hanging over me
I am paralyzed
Gazing back at me
My glimpse of hell

Will it take me below?
Will the sun rise?
When it all comes down on me

Wide awake
The dead don't sleep
Shadows hanging over me
I am paralyzed
Gazing back at me
My glimpse of hell
