The Waking Nightmare

You will listen to my tale
Every harrowing detail
Then you will know why
Forever I curse at your name
Frank-en-stein!!!

All that I know... all I remember
Ripped by the knife, I am torn from my sleep
There were no dreams... no tortured memories
Only a silence eternal and blissfully deep
Am I alive or in purgat'ry
Am I insane
What is this animal gnawing inside of my brain

What do they fear
Why am I hunted
Who is this stranger inside of my skin
Broken and scarred... charred like an ember
Am I condemned though i cannot remember my sin
What have I done to deserve such a sentence in hell
Born as a demon, a ghoul from a nightmare
Yet one who still suffers and scars like a human as well

Now here i stand... half of a man
Wondering why I draw breath
I'm here in the waking nightmare
And every moment tastes of death

You're a beast to be feared
Do not dare to draw near
You're an object of shame
Without soul or a name
Nothing that you can do
Will disguise what is true
God has damned you at birth
And by heaven we'll track you and haunt you and
Banish your soul from this earth

Lost and alone... colder than stone
Knowing so deep in my breast
That here in the waking nightmare
And whatever hell awaits there
Yes, here in the waking nightmare
All I will find is fear
And all I'll ever hear
Are the screams of their terror and scorn
While every moment tastes of death
