[Spoken Intro]
Take a look in the pool and what do you see?
In the dark depths there, faces beckoning me
Can't you see them? It's plain for all to see
They were there, oh I know you don't believe me
Oh, I've never felt so strange
But I'm not going insane
I've no doubt that you think I'm off my head
You don't say but it's in your eyes instead
Hours I spend out just gazing into that pool
Something draws me there, I don't know what to do
Oh, they drain my strength away
Oh, they're asking me to stay
Nightmares, spirits calling me
Nightmares, they won't leave me be
All my life's blood is slowly draining away
And I feel that I'm weaker every day
Somehow I know I haven't long to go
Joining them at the bottom of the pool
Now, I feel they are so near
I begin to see them clear
Nightmares coming all the time
Nightmares will give me peace of mind
[Solo: Adrian Smith/Dave Murray]
Now it's clear and I know what I have to do
I must take you down there to look at them too
Hand in hand then we'll jump right into that pool
Can't you see? Not just me they want you too
Oh, we'll drown together
It will be forever
Nightmares, forever calling me
Nightmares, now we rest in peace
