All my life I searched for power; the ability to do or act,
To gain control over the simple ones,
To show the wise fiction for fact.
And evil dreams - they come to me in my sleep,
Evil dreams - they won't get the best of me,
Evil dreams - they come to me in my sleep,
Evil dreams - they won't get the best of me.
Every day my energy was released; so effective, but very deceiving,
Honest expression to cheat the children, foist upon to leave their mothers grieving.
Evil dreams - they come to me in my sleep,
Evil dreams - they won't get the best of me,
Evil dreams - they come to me in my sleep,
Evil dreams - they won't get the best of me.
Rip, tear, shred, bleed, no surrender 'til I'm freed,
Thrash, smash, evil mind, blood is shed, save mankind,
Kick, scratch, bite, claw, no matter what it takes,
Push, shove, punch, crawl, fighting to be saved,
Stand, fight, turn or run, can you take the pain to come?
Lust, love, trust, deceit, can you swallow what you eat?
Whiplash, bent and twisted, got to stand double fisted,
Please believe me when I say it's not so easy on this stage.
Slight of the hand, authority was gifted to me,
Hallucination manifest; who was blind, who could see?
Earth was the water that filled my well,
I was the devil, she was my hell.
Evil dreams - they come to me in my sleep,
Evil dreams - they won't get the best of me,
Evil dreams - they come to me in my sleep,
Evil dreams - they won't get the best of me.
