Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Ash on the altar Blood in the rain Sky splits open Every star a flame Seven seals cracking Like bones in God's hand Trumpets are screaming Over ruined land Dust in my lungs But the dust tastes sweet Because I know the Judge Is walking these streets Every prayer I buried Claws up through the mire Halo made of thorns Crowned in blackened fire [Chorus] I am the living nightmare Writing fear across the sky Every dream you called a promise Now it watches as you cry In the book of burning pages Your excuses all expire Run from heaven Run from hell You still fall into the pyre You still fall into The living nightmare (hey!) [Verse 2] Eyes like a river Red Running upstream Angel wings shredded On the teeth of the machine Golden streets cracking Show the graves beneath Saints start to tremble In their silver seats You built your temples Out of ash and greed Carved your prophets From your hunger From your need Now the clocks turn backward Dripping molten hours Time itself is coughing Up your rotted towers [Chorus] I am the living nightmare Writing fear across the sky Every dream you called a promise Now it watches as you cry In the book of burning pages Your excuses all expire Run from heaven Run from hell You still fall into the pyre You still fall into The living nightmare (woah) [Bridge] [Clean guitars and distant choir] Children of the serpent Did you think I did not see? Every quiet cruelty Carved your name in fetid stone Said you stood beside the throne But your lips were full of seas Black with broken guarantees [Chorus] I am the living nightmare Last lament in burning air Every crown you wore in daylight Turns to worms inside your hair In the book of broken ages Every liar meets the fire Pray for darkness Pray for light You still wake into my choir You still wake inside The living nightmare (hey!) The living nightmare
