Dream Theater, “Evening Terror” Music Video + Lyrics

Spiders looking for shelter
Fading with the daybreak
Vanishing at dawn
As morning mild shines on

Sacrificial martyr
Sufferer wearing white
Headed for the slaughter
Angels cry for her tonight

To the cross
On the stake
To the lions
On the rack I break
I break

Evening terror
Hysteria
Nocturnal trial by fireplace
Eyes open huge however I can’t see

Thoughts awake
Physique at relaxation
Drifting via sleep transition
Borderland state
Swimming via waves
Sensory dream situation

With out warning
I fall down the bottomless effectively
Flesh is crawling
Have to claw my means out of this hell

By the sword
On the wheel
Twisting within the wind
Pierce the silence
With a scream
Why can’t I bear in mind something?
Something

Evening terror
Hysteria
Nocturnal trial by fireplace
Eyes open huge however I can’t see

I can’t see
