1. Nightmare Bound
Lyrics by: Yoru
Music composition: Kage & Akatsuki
Editting: Inori & Akumu
Recording: Akatsuki & Inori

Do you feel it?
The trembling fear...
The fear that you feel in this...
This Nightmare...

As that voice resonates through
You can't help it but feel lost
The demons of your dream
Are chasing you down

There's no one here but your shadow
Who looks sadly upon you

With no hope you cry
Lying to yourself you scream

"Leave me
Let me die in this nightmare;
I can’t feel anything anymore
Along with your lies,
Just disappear"

Again you run
Those demons are still after you
Rivers of blood surrounding you
You scream and scream
But there's no such thing as hope

Now you know
You're never gonna escape
This Nightmare is eternal
An evil cycle

With no hope you cry
Lying to yourself you scream

"Leave me
Let me die in this nightmare;
I can’t feel anything anymore
Along with your lies,
Just disappear"

2. Screaming Shadows
Lyrics: Kage & Yoru
Music Composition: Kage
Editting: Inori & Akumu
Recording: Itami & Akatsuki

Scream!!

Sadistic shadows laugh at me
Nothing but darkness that I can see
Stench of corpses and blood reek the air
The terror's making me rip out my hair

Screaming screaming
Voices full of fear
Shadows running
Only their footsteps that you can hear
Ah, when will all this horror end?
There's only so much that I stand

(Kage's solo)

Sadistic shadows laugh at me
Nothing but darkness that I can see
Stench of corpses and blood reek the air
The terror's making me rip out my hair

The night's creeping in
Shadows are all that can be seen
Silence now deafens me
Hush now, my life is slipping away
I can't scream anymore
Just painful silence...

Do you hear it?
That scream

3. Eternal Sleep
Lyrics by: Yoru & Yuuki
Music Compostion: Kage & Akami
Editing: Inori & Akumu
Recording: Itami

Sleep silently
(Your life floats away)
That ethereal blissful dream won't fade away
(Never wake up)
So sleep like there's no tomorrow
(Such death is peaceful)

Keep on dreaming
Keep on sleeping
Hear the singing*
Hear that chirping*
Continue that slumber
Your breath as soft as a whisper

Eternal Sleep

Slumber's the escape from the cruel reality of this world
Is the night an enemy? Such differences are blurred
Lullabies of the wind blowing past
Your eyes are growing heavy, shutting fast
The sandman's sprinkled sand on your eyes
A little too much for you to arise*

From that sleep
Eternal Sleep
Blissful slumber of the night
Your life's lost in between
Not unliving nor the breathing

Keep on dreaming
Keep on sleeping
Hear the singing
Hear that chirping
Continue that slumber
Your breath as soft as a whisper

Come on wake up
wake up

From that sleep
Eternal Sleep
Blissful slumber of the night
Your life's lost in between
Not unliving nor the breathing

singing* - refers to the lullaby of the wind
chirping* - refers to the chirping of the crickets
arise* - arise (from sleep)
