(THROUGH EVERY LITTLE SHADOW, WE PROCEED) TO THE NIGHTMARE! (SALUTE YOU TILL WE SIT AND SURVIVE) WE'RE MARCHING ONWARD TO THE NIGHTMARE! [Chorus] WHAT WILL YOU DO WHEN THE LIGHTS GO DOWN! WHEN WILL THE CHOSEN TURN AROUND SUMMON THE SILENCE AND WEAR YOUR CROWN BEGIN YOUR DARKEST RISE! HOLDING ONTO YOUR OWN DREAMS ESCAPE DENIED SO NOW YOU CHARGE THE END WILL NOW RISE! [Verse 3] WHAT DID YOU THINK OF THE DARKNESS TAKING OVER YOUR DEMISE? WHAT WAS IT YOU THOUGHT YOU SAW THROUGH THE TEARS OF YOUR EYES? OH WELL THE NIGHTS WOULD END LOUDER AND LOUDER AND CORRODE YOUR DISGUISE! AND THE REST BEGAN TO FEED ON YOUR SOUL AS YOU SAID YOUR GOODBYES! [Verse 4] FORCED, DOWN, DOWN BELOW THE SURFACE
