[Verse]
Razor fingers scrape the night sky
In the boiler room where dreams go to die
Red and green sweater stained with screams
Stalking through the cracks of broken dreams
[Verse 2]
Elm Street shadows dance with dread
Where the living fear the long-dead
In the real world they tried to fight
But Freddy’s grin says they’re not alright
[Chorus]
You can't kill what’s never alive
In the dark his nightmares thrive
He’s the ghost that laughs at your cries
Freddy's here and dreams never die
[Verse 3]
They lit the fire thought they'd won
Watched his ashes under the sun
But revenge is a blade that cuts so deep
He’s the whisper in your restless sleep
[Bridge]
They took him to the real world’s stage
Fought the monster in their rage
But you can’t cage a shadow’s grin
The nightmare always pulls you back in
[Chorus]
You can't kill what’s never alive
In the dark his nightmares thrive
He’s the ghost that laughs at your cries
Freddy's here and dreams never die
