Suddenly awake in the dead of night
The tangled sheets, a pounding heart
Anxiety descends as the dream lingers on
A premonition of your world come apart
A conscience of guilt for imperfect crimes
Lost in a world of ambition and greed
Trusting the schemes and elaborate lies
Now facing the chance the truth is revealed
Confidence is washed away
Security erodes with each passing day
Welcome to fear
The retribution
Awakening the demon inside
Welcome to fear
Your time has ended
The nightmare has come to life
Pressure intense, the walls closing in
Desperately seeking a means of escape
Pacing the dark, your mind in turmoil
Unable to bear the results of mistakes
Blinded by the power in your mind
Leading to destruction of your life
Welcome to fear
The retribution
Awakening the demon inside
Welcome to fear
Your time has ended
The nightmare has come to life
Welcome to fear
The retribution
Awakening the demon inside
Welcome to fear
Your time has ended
The nightmare has come to life
