Nightmare
Tears Of Magdalena Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I have seen a nightmare -
one terrible scary dream
whhen devil came to me
and tried to take my heart

You tried to scream, you tried to breath
when devil spread its wings
and tried to strangle you
in your bed at night

Was this true or a dream, I didn't know
until i woke up frightened again

Chorus
Dancing with the devil
dancing all your life
you had no love
only broke dreams

Every night in my dreams
it haunted in my mind
"what do you want from me,
leave me alone" - I screamed

Your heart is the gate,
and your love is the key
the way from hereafter
back to the mortal world

When I had all my love
but for nobody to give it

Dancing with the devil
dancing all your life
you had no love
only broke dreams

Stoptime
When you give your love to me
I will bury my bad dreams
and then this evil will ends
and love will live forever
for you - and for me...

Dancing with the devil
dancing all your life




you had no love
only broke dreams
