Dark Country

I've burned my pillow
I've burned my bed
I know that feeling
Of getting mad
The thoughts are material
The dreams are worse
They will come after me
The unstoppable force


     Never ever try to sleep
     Never ever close your eyes
     In the darkness behind your lids
     They come after you with the death dance

     Even if you've got nerves of steel
     Never ever close your eyes
     This red planet never sleeps
     You are hunted by the ghosts of Mars


I've burned their pillows
I've burned their beds
They all were sleeping
Turned into evil nests
I can't let it out
Have to fight to the end
The mission is doomed
So the ones who will land


     Never ever try to sleep
     Never ever close your eyes
     In the darkness behind your lids
     They come after you with the death dance

     Even if you've got nerves of steel
     Never ever close your eyes
     This red planet never sleeps
     You are hunted by the ghosts of Mars
