[Verse 1]

Every night becomes a nightmare

Nowhere left to escape

She grips my soul and takes control

From which I can't awake

Tormented thoughts are clouding my mind

Won't you leave me alone?

Yet every night, when I close my eyes

Still the wicked roam

[Chorus]

Dream deceiver

She haunts my dreams all through the night

Dream deceiver

[Verse 2]

Visions always forming, haunting

Right before my eyes

The demon song is always playing

Calling out my name

Evil thoughts are covering my eyes

See her come and go

Late at night when I hear her cry

I spill some tears of my own

[Chorus]

Dream deceiver

She haunts my dreams all through the night

Dream deceiver

And when you're done with me, good night!

[Verse 3]

Another night in a living nightmare

Nowhere to escape

She rips my soul and takes control

Even when I'm awake

Tormented thoughts are seen through my eyes

See them come and go

Twisted thoughts are clouding my mind

Please just let me go

[Chorus]

Dream deceiver

She won't stop haunting me at night

Dream deceiver

She's never done with me, all night
