Album: Parasomnia (2024)

  • Spiders seeking shelter
    Fading with the dawn
    Vanishing at sunrise
    As morning light shines on

    Sacrificial martyr
    Victim dressed in white
    Headed for the slaughter
    Angels cry for her tonight

    To the cross
    At the stake
    To the lions
    On the rack I break
    I break

    Night terror
    Hysteria
    Nocturnal trial by fire
    Eyes open wide but I can't see

    Mind awake
    Body at rest
    Drifting through sleep transitions
    Borderland state
    Swimming through waves
    Sensory dream condition

    Without warning
    I fall down the bottomless well
    Flesh is crawling
    Need to claw my way out of this hell

    By the sword on the wheel
    Twisting in the wind
    Pierce the silence
    With a scream
    Why can't I remember anything?
    Anything

    Night terror
    Hysteria
    Nocturnal trial by fire
    Eyes open wide but I can't see

    Night terror
    Hysteria
    Nocturnal trial by fire
    Eyes open wide but I can't see

    Night terror
    Hysteria
    Nocturnal trial by fire
    Eyes open wide but I can't see

    I can't see Writer/s: James LaBrie, John Myung, John Petrucci, Jordan Rudess, Mike Portnoy
