Nightmare, oh precious nightmare,   Be my guest, my only friend   In times of despair      Whilst "life" passes by,   Life that never were      Time heals wounds,   But I cannot forget   Time heals wounds,   But I cannot forgive      The gallows call for you,   The gallows call for me,   Can't you see the end is near?      Nightmare, oh glorious nightmare   Tell me within my dreams undreamt   If this is the life they all speak of?      "Unicus impulsus   Animi mei est   Mortem obire   Mihi mortem conscisco   At tamen tum   Demum vivetum"      Infamous hope,   Monolith of a dying race   I caluminate humanity   With delight      Pestilence, come forth to judge   Come forth and erase this final remembrance
