I Am the Nightmare by ShadowSing - Zona

Lyrics

[INTRO – MENACING LAUGH]

Hahaha you think you’re the monster

Nah, I am

[VERSE 1 – Rap, controlled but intense]

Midnight crawling through the cobblestone veins

Yharnam whispering my name in the rain

Church bells ringing like a funeral hymn

Every step that I take got the reaper within

Blood on the lantern, light flicker faint

Hunters hunt but tonight I ain’t saint

Beast in my chest, feel the pulse, it’s loud

Silver bullets can’t silence me now

Insight rising, I’m losing my sight

See the gods in the corner of night

Hear the choir of the damned in my head

Praying mercy to the things I bled

I was human but the hunger grew

Now the nightmare’s breaking through

You fear monsters under your bed

I fear the one inside my head

[CHORUS]

Oh I, I come alive in the night

I feel it through the moonlight

I’m changing, now I am maiming

Oh I, I come alive in the night

I the feel monster in side

I AM RAGING, NOW I AM KILLING

Oh god can someone save me

I feel my sanity slipping from reality

[VERSE 2 – Faster rap, more aggressive]

Hunter’s mark carved deep in my soul

Every death just paying the toll

Respawn pain, resurrection curse

Every blessing only gets worse

Hear the Cleric Beast scream in my spine

Father Gascoigne’s rage ain’t mine

But it lives in my blood when the moon turns red

Executioner thoughts in my head

Saw cleaver singing, metal on bone

Heartbeat syncing to a warzone tone

Dodge left, quickstep, visceral strike

Adrenaline high like a god in a fight

Am I saving the city or feeding the plague?

Every swing makes my sanity fade

Holy blood, but it tastes like sin

Tell me where does the hunter end?

[CHORUS]

Oh I, I come alive in the night

I feel it through the moonlight

I’m changing, now I am maiming

Oh I, I come alive in the night

I feel the monster in side

I AM RAGING, NOW I AM KILLING

Oh god can someone save me

I feel my sanity slipping from reality

[VERSE 3 – Half-rap, half-sung, emotional intensity rising]

Choir in the cosmos watching me break

Great Ones whisper every mistake

Am I chosen or just a pawn?

Trapped in a dream that won’t be gone

Moon Presence pulling my strings

Crowned in thorns, no angel wings

This hunt never ends, it repeats

Heartbeat marching to funeral beats

If I wake will I still be me?

Or just blood and insanity?

Hands are shaking, vision torn

Was I hunter… or reborn?

[BREAKDOWN – Screamed / Metal switch]

THIS NIGHT — IT NEVER ENDS

THIS BLOOD — IT NEVER MENDS

YOU CALL ME BEAST — BUT LOOK INSIDE

WE’RE ALL JUST MONSTERS TRYING TO HIDE

(whispered)

Grant us eyes… grant us eyes…

[FINAL CHORUS – Bigger, layered vocals]

Oh I, I come alive in the night

I feel it through the moonlight

I’m changing, now I am maiming

Oh I, I come alive in the night

I feel the monster in side

I AM RAGING, NOW I AM KILLING

Oh god can someone save me

I feel my sanity slipping from reality

[OUTRO – Dark, fading, half-whisper / half-laugh]

The hunt goes on… it never ends

Crimson moon, we’re not friends

You prayed for light inside the dark

But I became…

what left its mark.
