Nightmare
Sarcуfago Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She was a simple girl, coming from a simple town
Still a child she started to work
She never had time for school

Had a boyfriend, young,
Unemployed, wasted and stoned
Expelled from home for moralistic reasons
She started to live with him

She was only 16, trying to live with misery
Day after day, wasting her life
She decided to sell her body

Walking down corners and dark lanes
Night lights dazzles her mind
Crime and voilence on her way
Soon she was the queen of the night

Midnight queen, alone in the night
Always dreaming of better days
Midnight queen, trying to survive
But so many thorns on her way
Midnight queen, I'm sorry for you life,
For your sorrow, for your fate
Midnight queen

Dreaming of better days
That will never come
Another night has just begun

Into drugs and booze she throws herself
Trying to escape from reality
She won't escape

Found in a motel room
Her sweet blood everywhere
A few bucks on her body

And around her neck




Tied with a dead know
Hang a lash

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Sarcófago's "Nightmare" tell the tragic story of a young woman from a simple town who starts working at a young age and never has the chance to go to school. She falls in love with a young, unemployed man who has been expelled from his home for moralistic reasons and starts living with him. However, life is not easy for her, and she finds herself selling her body to make ends meet. The night becomes her kingdom as she walks down dark alleys and corners, trying to survive the harsh reality she finds herself in. To escape her pain, she turns to drugs and alcohol, but it only leads to her tragic demise. She is found dead in a motel room, and all she has left is a few dollars on her body, and the lash that hanged her.


The song speaks to the reality of many people, especially young women, who are pushed into a life of prostitution and drugs due to circumstances beyond their control. In this way, Sarcófago is shining a light on a dark issue that often goes unnoticed or ignored.

behind the gates only death
burning your mind you hear the bell
the gates are open for your entry
light of the day turn to the darkness of hell...

nightmare

skull and putrid corpses
sads and somber places
and you cry tears of blood
because you are dead

now you will go prown on endless night
remembering yours blasphemes and lies
iwill never give mercy to you
but satanas want your sinner's soul

you will never return
never...

Mayhem, bathory etc muy alabadas, excelentes bandas, pero el mundo, o bueno en Europa no saben la existencia de nuestras bandas sur americanas que dieron ORIGEN al BLACK METAL A NIVEL MUNDIAL así más de un gringo o un europeo piensen lo contrario, dead y euronimus trataron de imitar el sonido de estas bandas. Larga vida al metal latinoamericano !!!!

Destruction666-

@Anti Progre pura mierda, además a nadie le importa Mayhem, ellos solo trataron de copiar a las verdaderas bandas de black ochenteras como Sarcofago, Venom, Bathory, Celtic Frost, Destruction, Sodom etc.

Destruction666-

Los verdaderos metaleros en Europa y EEUU conocen a bandas de acá como Sarcófago, la cual es mundialmente famosa en la escena underground.

DieRosJ

Solo euronymus intento copiar el sonido y la vestimenta dead no, era fan de sarcofago pero no intento copiar a sarcofago, ademas euronymus tambien se influencio por el ultrametal(subgenero nacidoben colombia) con bandas como parabellum, el conocia estas bandas por el intercambio de cintas

Estás equivocado. De hecho Satyricon le hizo un cover a Sarcófago. Satyricon es de la segunda ola del black metal europeo.
