the beginning of the nightmare

dark night

full moon

wolves howling ghostly tunes

not a soul out tonight

except two gods who fight

over their jealousy

disputing royalty

there's something rising up tonight

it's just so natural to desire

the power that your soul requires

but it's so unnatural what you are

a fallen star

now a long

long time ago

i gave in to the darkness so

i could have all the power

pitch black for every hour

and though she tried to stop me

i'll rise again

if slowly

for a thousand years

i will prepare

this is only the beginning of the nightmare

worlds apart

still connected

one of them

still rejected

one thousand counting down

a fatal throne

a lethal crown

evil will soon return

a nightmare never learns

there's something coming in the night

it's just so natural to desire

the power that your soul requires

but it's so unnatural what you are

a fallen star

now a long

long time ago

i gave in to the darkness so

i could have all the power

pitch black for every hour

and though she tried to stop me

i'll rise again

if slowly

for a thousand years

i will prepare

this is only the beginning of the nightmare

now i've come to take a life or two

but this is really about you

it's my revenge

it's my design

now you can send your strongest

but i've been brooding longest

and my vengeance is divine

now a long

long time ago

i gave in to the darkness so

i could have all the power

pitch black for every hour

and though she tried to stop me

i'll rise again

if slowly

for a thousand years

i will prepare

this is only the beginning of the nightmare

now a long

long time ago

i gave in to the darkness so

i could have all the power

pitch black for every hour

and though she tried to stop me

i'll rise again

if slowly

for a thousand years

i will prepare

this is only the beginning of the nightmare
