My mind drifted in dirt and pain I was so weak and weary,
The sun and also my soul enveloped black and dreary.

Deep into the darkness I stood wondering, fearing,
My heart smoldered deep within.
But it had still continued, had still continued beating

Nightmare in a damaged brain – all night long

White apparition glided nearby with an ancient grin,
The air grew denser, death perfumed from the ghostly censer.

Nightmare in a damaged brain – all night long

Its eyes have the menace of a Demon,
Its shadow hugs the stony ground.
Do angels born draw their curtains?
A death like shroud never torn.

Nightmare in a damaged brain – all night long

Or am I dreaming instead?
