Long hot night
Thinking of you
Tears fill my eyes
All night long
I sit alone
Searching the cloudy skies
The eagle lifts
His hooded head
Surveys the countryside
Searching for
Something to kill
Then starts the midnight ride
Alright
This martyr screams
You've nailed me to my bed
Imprisoned me
Onto my dreams
Locked inside
Inside my head
Darkness
You are my friend
I know your secret now
When someone falls
Along the way
Only you know how
The panther lifts
His blackened paw
And stalks the countryside
Searching for
Something to die
Then starts the midnight ride
Alright
This martyr screams
You've nailed me to my bed
Imprisoned me
Onto my dreams
Locked inside
Inside my head
Nightmares
Reverberate
Round this dissolving room
Whilst thunder's heartbeat
Bangs the drum
Adds rhythm to the gloom
The creature lurks
Within us all
Gives venom to our pride
It's tooth and nail
And fang and claw
Upon the midnight ride
Alright
This martyr screams
You've nailed me to my bed
Imprisoned me
Onto my dreams
Locked inside
Inside my head
