The Nightmare - 2023 Remaster

Thrown down through the arms of sleep
She fell through the ivory morning
Deep into the waters of the one she called love
She paled in the wake of what some call a dream
But you cannot know a dream till you've known the nightmare

When I stood with you against the storm
And I, I tried once again
Well, I said, "I'd like to leave you with something warm"
How many times?
Drowning in the sea, drowning

That was when the dream took her prisoner
And she knew the dream was over, but
Well, the nightmare was not over
Still, some call that a dream

Well, you cannot know a dream when you turn away
You don't know, you'll never care
The night is not your friend
And you have not had her
And when the nightmare ends
But, you never understand

When you're gone
Well, she wakes up calling out
Ooh, falling out
As children may cry as she will
Anytime, ooh, anywhere
Blinded by the light of the day
Ooh, she has known the nightmare

So, about the moon and her sisters
How dare he take them prisoner?
Well, if she had flung out her heart against him
Then in all of her wisdom
Ooh, that was a mystery

That was when the dream took her prisoner
And she knew the dream was over, but
Well, the nightmare was not over
Well, somewhere in her ancient ways
She walks through the night
And then she tries to get through the day
Some will never know or share any kind of dream

The nightmare
This is not the world, this is not the world
The nightmare
This is not the world, this is not the world
The nightmare
This is not the world, this is not the world
Nightmare
This is not the world, this is not the world

She wants him to fight (anytime, anywhere)
She wants him to stand up, she wants him to win

Blinded by the light of the day
Blinded by the light of the day
Well, she was blinded by the light of the day
Blinded by the light of the day
Well, she hasn't known the nightmare
