Nightmare Lyrics

Am I awake or is this just a dream?
I had a nightmare, some sort of vision
I was stuck in an empty room
When the black book appeared
The lights were dim
But the face in the book was in daylight
Eyes of fire staring at me
It's the eyes of a woman
And I see, on her spirit
Steppin' out of the book

I hear her callin' for her coven to come
There's a light in the doorway
Entering shadows whose number is 13
They do the sign of the devil's seed

I'm in the middle of a magic ring
Somebody tell me, what's goin' on
Only we know the secret
Of the curse that you bear

Listen, they sing, the coven sings
Night after night I hear them sing
No, they're still here, I can hear them
Again
Night after night I have this dream

You are insane!

You're only living on borrowed time
From you fate

Awesome song. If I'm not mistaken, it's about the Lovecraft story "Dreams In The Witch House." The woman is the witch Keziah Mason. Too bad they don't mention Brown Jenkin the rat. To find out more, read "Dreams In The Witch-House."
