i knew that you had been untrue , i didn’t know how , but i knew , well

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
