Verse 2: [use verse 1 chords]
I knew that you had been untrue, I didn't know how, but I knew, well
Who you spoke to in your dreams, cause never had you spoke to me like that

I followed them back down to hell, and I spent some time down there myself

Verse 3: [use verse 1 chords]
Nightmares have their dreams as well, when they sleep they go to hell
And they drink their fill on lakes of blood, and cant across the the scolplade mud
Nurse their little colts on flies, their cultish teeth, like kitchen knives
Look down from abysmal cliffs, they're dead by the late wind rift, gone
Denizens too deep to see you, on dreams nightmares, nightmares dream, yeah
Unaware, the nightmare sleep, on what fodder do they feed?
I'd been awake so long by then, they thought that I was one of them
Interlude: [Intro chords]x4
Verse 4: [use verse 1 chords]
Nightmares cannot be ribcaged, midnight's just a steeple chase
That silver needles have to go, opionion abled to your soul
They other half will go instead, gallop across the kicked up fair
Find the one who will sleep in sound
Drag him down, oh drag him down
Drag him down, oh drag him down
Drag him down, oh drag him down
Verse 5: [use verse 1 chords]
Drag him down where I got took, and though he may not wanna look
I sift hell for an equal pain, shot born beetles born in rain
I crop his eyes and down impede the, same hell he first fed to me, now
Unware, the nightmare sleep, on what fodder do they feed?
I followed them back down to hell, I spent some time down there myself
Outro: [use verse 1 chords]
Unware, the nightmare sleep
Unware, the nightmare sleep
Unware, the nightmare sleep
Unware, the nightmare sleep
Unware, the nightmare sleep
Unware, the nightmare sleep
