Nightmare Visions

The old house on the mountainside Wooden porch and peeling white Creaky floors, windows long and tall Steep narrow stairway to the cellar The old house on the mountainside [x2] The first bedroom had an aura of gloom The portrait's eyes followed you 'round the room Dark closet which was never closed A dark hallway from which shapes evolved And the portrait of Jesus on the wall It's eyes follow you around the room That catholic icon, it creeped me out It's eyes follow you around the room The old house on the mountainside [x4] [Solo] When the trains passed everything trembled The view from the porch - opposite mountainside Divided by the Allegheny River This old house occupies so many of my dreams [Solo] I can walk through this house in my mind The dream is different every time But in this house I seem to be Time and time again Time and time again [x4] [Solo]

Driving in a car I'm with Evil Eye On a lonely stretch of highway In the middle of the day We're in a convertable Top is up, windows are down The music is loud It's a beautiful day The interior of the car It's moving like it's alive The roof - the dash It's moving, something is underneath [Solo] They are tarantulas Dozens of them within the car Clawing their way through the fabric and the dashboard We are suddenly Covered with tarantulas [Solo] Travelling at high speed Spiders erupt all over the car And then.....I awake! [Solo] [ending riff written in 1989]

A dream of my grandmother's house (again) She had a baby that died Corpse placed in a coffin Buried in the cellar And someone else died A second coffin was filled Then my brother was talking to the baby's living corpse A strong scent of rot As the dead cried The family is perverse Basement burial plots My brother is hallucinating Or is the corpse crying He opens the lid And starts to inscribe On the inside of the coffinlid He writes strange symbols I then come upstairs And I looked outside Rose bushes were coming alive I've seen this before [Solo] Grandfather's corpse is buried Along with more rotting caskets Revisit the dead downstairs Why are these coffins there? [Solo] Remove the wallboards Behind the walls Are more remains And strange inscriptions Grandmother explained These burials are special We watch over Our own dead The baby's name was Chrissa Wrapped in a blanket With a note within Such strange visions

In so many dreams the sky is shared The sun is in the east, moon to the west A scarlet horizon looms overhead A growing storm approaches, the clouds are red I soon take notice and I wonder why When the sun and moon share the sky The sun's a perfect orb, the moon is full What do these symbols mean? They're multiple The sun is rising, cradled in the east The moon is setting into the cloudless west This seems pertinent and I wonder why When the sun and moon share the sky Something is going to happen, I don't know what All the signs are there, feel it in my gut [Solo]

This big old and creepy mansion at the end of the road It is old and deteriorated Inside is a labyrinth, can not find my way around Lost and wandering, doors and stairways everywhere I am in my own dream [Solo] I can't seem to find my way out Wandering the halls in the dark One room leads to another room and another room I seem to be going in circles So many winding stairs and balconies The furniture is nineteenth century [Solo] The rooms all change in different dreams Always a labyrinth or a maze Elaborate and extremely real This old house is seductively surreal 6. The Plague Dream Those first pink blemishes are the first sign of infection Within hours they blister and the pustules erupt with blood Pain, agony, screaming for mercy, the body begins to seize Choking on blood and cringing in horror, a victim of this disease The plague is spreading, quarantine the uninfected Clinics full of the diseased and dying, panic takes control In this hospital room I see them, victims die in blood People in various stages as ripened pustules erupt The plague is spreading, quarantine the uninfected Clinics full of the diseased and dying, paranoia takes control Men, women and children, none are spared weak or strong Try to stay isolated when I notice a blemish on my arm [Solo] I'm working in this clinic and patients keep coming in Bodies are marked up with these blemishes on their skin Contagious and infectious, how does this thing spread? Once the pink dots arrive it's not long until you're dead Mankind has no defense, we each just wait to die White coats are sprayed with blood as fevers running high Clinics overflowing and we are all soon dead Relentless spread of this plague and I am infected The Plague Dream [x4]

I am very young (2 or 3) and with my mother We went next door to the neighbors My mother was ill, she laid down inside As she slept, my eyes open wide Something is scurrying along the roof Two windows seem to terrify me A porcelain doll peering in from above It is alive and up on the roof [Solo] Looking at me....Letting me know it sees me Mother is asleep Looking at me....Letting me know it sees me Mother is asleep [Solo] Back and forth, taunting me with an empty gaze Terror and fear, helpless and scared This cold pale white face with empty eyes This image is meant to terrorize (me) [Solo] That porcelain doll is looking at me Taunting me, watching me

Slowly waking, that moment awaking Unconscious fading, conscious awakening But I can't move - I'm frozen in place I feel paralyzed - Body unresponsive What is it? Cannot move, cannot seem to wake up Cannot seem to get my body to react Heart rate climbing, chest is pounding Pulse is racing, between conscious states What is it? Something hypnogogic? What is it? What she did to me had some effect on me I seemed to achieve some sort of lucidity Fading out of sleep and slowly coming awake Being conscious and unable to move my body What is it? Something hypnogogic? Not Quite Awake [x4] [Solo]
