The Wraith of Nightmares

(Verse 1) In the dead of night, when shadows creep, A mother slumbers, lost in sleep. But lurking in the darkness deep, The Nightmare Wraith begins to creep. (Chorus) Oh, Nightmare Wraith, with eyes so cold, You drain her soul, her dreams you hold. You twist her mind with tales untold, As life and hope begin to fold. (Verse 2) With tendrils black, like midnight's shroud, It wraps around her, dark and proud. Whispers vile, it speaks aloud, Filling her dreams with horrors vowed. (Bridge) In her dreams, the terrors rise, Echoes of her deepest cries. A world where every hope defies, As shadows dance in her mind's skies. (Verse 3) Her breathing slows, her strength it takes, With every nightmare, a heart that breaks. The Wraith's dark hunger never quakes, Till dawn arrives and she awakes. (Chorus) Oh, Nightmare Wraith, with eyes so cold, You drain her soul, her dreams you hold. You twist her mind with tales untold, As the nightmares take their toll. (Outro) As morning's light begins to breach, The Wraith retreats beyond her reach. But marks are left, within they'll screech, For in her heart, its darkness reaps.
