A blood red moon is shining
And outside in the still
Creatures of the night arise
Get ready for the kill

The voices in the darkness
Sirens in the air
A crying that no soul can hear
The screams of your despair

Living on a nightmare
Living on a nightmare
It still carries on when we have gone
Oh, Living on a nightmare
(Nightmare! Nightmare!
Nightmare! Nightmare!)

Gruesome steps behind you
Electrify the nerves
You're paralyzed, the end is near
You get what you deserved

Your home will be the graveyard
Your crypt my lifeless hand
The for hell is here
To see the very end

Nightmare! Nightmare!
This night we take another soul
Nightmare before the dawn

Living on a nightmare
Living on a nightmare
It still carries on when we have gone
Oh, Living on a nightmare

Living on a nightmare
Hell image, your nightmare
The soul mate will burn when you return
Oh, Living on a nightmare
(Nightmare! Nightmare!)
