Dream Theater, “Night Terror” Music Video + Lyrics

Spiders searching for shelter
Fading with the daybreak
Vanishing at dawn
As morning gentle shines on

Sacrificial martyr
Victim wearing 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 fireplace
Eyes open huge however I can?t see

Mind awake
Body at relaxation
Drifting via sleep transition
Borderland state
Swimming via waves
Sensory dream situation

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

By the sword
On the wheel
Twisting in the wind
Pierce the silence
With a scream
Why can?t I bear in mind something?
Anything

Night terror
Hysteria
Nocturnal trial by fireplace
Eyes open huge however I can?t see

I can?t see
