  • Close my eyes starting dreaming
    See a vision filled with wings
    Head my way
    Feel the presence of unknown power
    Telling me to come
    This is the only way

    It's dream within dream
    Lost and lonely
    Don't get pulled by the devil's hand

    Silent screamer filled with fear
    As the night time shapes a face
    Then disappears
    Scared forever into believing
    That your mind has met the
    Prince of whom you see

    It's dream within dream
    Lost and lonely
    Don't get fooled by the
    Devil's hand

    It's dream within dream
    Fool forever, don't get fooled
    Forever
    Don't get fooled, be the devil

    In your eyes
    The evil spirit rises
    Blinded by the dark
    You fall into shame
    As the reaper takes you
    Down the spiral stairway
    You share the evil pit
    With Satan's name

    Nightmare it's got me runnin'
    Nightmare it's calling you
    Nightmare it's got me runnin'
    Nightmare it's calling you

    It's dream within a dream
    Lost and lonely
    Don't get fooled, be the devil

    It's dream within a dream
    Lost forever
    Don't get fooled

    It's got me running
    It's just a nightmare
    It's got me running
    It's got me running Writer/s: DELROY ALEXANDER MURRAY, ROBIN OWOAHENE YAW ACHAMPONG, STEVE HARVEY

  • Paul Phillips from ScotlandTony Martin didn’t write the lyrics for The Eternal Idol that was Bob Daisley. Tony Martin was brought in at the last minute when the original vocalist on the album Ray Gillen left and re-recorded all the vocals making no lyrical changes.
