lyrics

I have seen the savage hand of the vortex rider
Spreading his final hatred higher and higher
Carving out a wild arc of silent death
And striking at all with his fiery breath
To an all consuming mind absorbing zenith

I am on a nightmare journey
And now I have started learning
I am on a nightmare trip
And I feel my subconscious slip

I have heard the flapping velvet wings of the demon flyer
Sending out eerie vibrations getting higher and higher
Smashing down the pinnacles of the dignified fake
Digesting the soul of a city in its heaving wake
Amid the tormented suffering of a million screaming "Mistake!"

I am on a nightmare journey ...

I have fought the changeling marauder on the battle scarred land
Fought him to a standstill as the rocks reduced to sand
Sending him along the way to meet his creator
I have put an end now to this cosmic violator
Ended forever that star spawned operator

I am on a nightmare journey ...
