1. Infinite Dreams (live)
Infinite dreams, I can't deny them, infinity is hard to comprehend
I couldn't hear those screams even in my wildest dreams
Suffocation waking in a sweat, scared to fall asleep again
In case the dream begins again
Someone chasing, I cannot move, standing rigid a nightmare's statue
What a dream, when will it end and will I transcend?
Restless sleep - the minds in turmoil; one nightmare ends - another fertile
It's getting to me - so scared to sleep, but scared to wake now in too deep
Even though its reached new heights, I rather like the restless nights
It makes me wonder, it makes me think: "There's more to this!" I'm on the brink
It's not the fear of what's beyond, it's just that I might not respond
I have an interest almost craving, but would I like to get too far in?
It can't all be coincidence - too many things are evident
You tell me: "You're an unbeliever! Spiritualist!" Well, me, I'm neither
But wouldn't you like to know the truth of what's out there, to have the proof
And find out just which side you're on, where would you end in heaven or in hell.?.
Help me! Help me to find my true self without seeing the future
Save me! Save me from torturing myself even within my dreams, oh!
There's got to be just more to it than this or tell me why do we exist?
I'd like to think that when I die, I'd get a chance another time
And to return and live again, reincarnate
Play the game again and again and again and again...
2. Killers (live)
You walk through the subway; his eyes burn a hole in your back
A footstep behind you; he lunges prepared for attack
Scream for mercy - he laughs as he's watching you bleed
Killer behind you; his blood lust defies all his needs...
My innocent victims are slaughtered with wrath and despise
The mocking religion of hatred that burns in the night
I have no one; I'm bound to destroy all this greed
A voice inside me compelling to satisfy me...
-- A-ha-ha-ha!
I can see what a knife's meant to be
And you'll never know how I came to forsee, see, see
My faith in believing is stronger than lifelines and ties
With the glimmer of metal my moment is ready to strike
The death call arises, a scream breaks the still of the night
Another tomorrow - remember to walk in the light!
I have found you and now there is no place to run
Excitement shakes me, oh God, help me - what have I done?!
Oh yeah, I've done it! Yeah!!!
You walk through the subway; my eyes burn a hole in your back
A footstep behind you; he lunges prepared for attack
Scream for mercy - he laughs as he's watching you bleed
Killer behind you; my blood lust defies all my needs
Oh, look out, I'm coming for you! A-ha-ha-ha!
3. Still Life (live)
Take a look in the pool and what do you see?
In the dark depths their faces beckoning me
Can't you see them? - it's plain for all to see
They were there, oh, I know you don't believe me
Oh, I've never felt so strange, but I'm not going insane
I've no doubt that you think I'm off my head
You don't say, but it's in your eyes instead
Hours I spend out just gazing into that pool
Something draws me there I don't know what to do
Oh, they drain my strength away
Oh, they're asking me to stay
Nightmares! Spirits calling me
Nightmares! They won't leave me be
All my life's blood is slowly draining away
And I feel that I'm weaker every day
Somehow I know I haven't long to go
Joining them at the bottom of the pool
Now I feel they are so near
I begin to see them clear
Nightmares! Coming all the time
Nightmares! Will give me peace of mind
Now it's clear and I know what I have to do
I must take you down there to look at them too
Hand in hand then we'll jump right into that pool
Can't you see? - not just me, they want you too
Oh, we'll drown together
It will be forever
Nightmares! Coming all the time
Nightmares! Now we rest in peace
