Nightmares

Nightmares

I hate to go to sleep at night, for fear of that fiery ghostly flight
of nightmares racing across the sky, knowing that the one who wins is the one that dies
And they shall ride on the wind and the howl with thunder and strike with lightning while you slumber And you will never know that what put you under was the wrath of the scientific wonder
Wild nightmares locked in my dreams by the past experience of terrible things
like looking at those mares face to face while unlocking their pearly gates not knowing it was a terrible mistake until it was almost too late
And ever since then I have thanked God for every new day, and every new saint
Nightmares
Nightmares
They have no wings but fly and they see through the night with invisible eyes, and they'll sniff you out of the thundering herd and blow you away without so much a word
Nightmares
Nightmares
I hate to go to sleep at night
