Hide, quickly There's a ghost around the corner and it knows me Stay inside, find a light There's a monster in the darkness next to me My eyes are open But I am frozen I hear the shadows I hear the screams The nightmares come out to play at night They bring out the fear inside They come out to play in my mind And I hope they're ready for a fight 'Cause they have no place to hide I'll look them dead in the eye 'Cause in the night I come alive I come alive Nightmares in the night They try to take me down When there's no one around Dream gently If I'm awake they'll come and get me So I pray I'll never find myself alone My eyes are open But I am frozen I hear the shadows I hear the screams The nightmares come out to play at night They bring out the fear inside They come out to play in my mind And I hope they're ready for a fight 'Cause they have no place to hide I'll look them dead in the eye 'Cause in the night I come alive I come alive I come alive I come alive 'Cause in the night I come alive Nightmares in the night They try to take me down When there's no one around Are they here to stay Hope they're ready for a fight
