Ripper of Dreams

By PROJECT MONROE · Melodic Death Metal · From the album MYTHICAL NIGHTMARES

**[Intro –

Close your eyes... he comes...

**[Verse 1]**

Say your prayers, little one

Tuck you in, the hunt's begun

Glass-grain sand in bleeding eyes

Pop them out, devour the cries

Sockets flood with crimson gore

Sandman drinks what children pour

**[Verse 2]**

Disembowel the sleeping head

Guts spill hot across the bed

Sand drills deep in brain and skull

Maggots feast, he takes his toll

**[Pre-Chorus]**

Sleep with eyes torn, soul to keep

He reaps the harvest while you sleep

**[Chorus – Crushing slam]**

EXIT LIGHT! ENTER BLADE!

SANDSTORM RIPS YOUR FUCKING FACE!

NEVER WAKE! ETERNAL SLAUGHTER!

LIMBS TORN OFF – FED TO HIS DAUGHTER!

EYES GOUGED RAW! SOCKETS EXPLODE!

BEHEADED SPAWN DEVOUR THE LOAD!

GUTS ON THE FLOOR! BRAINS DEFILED!

SANDMAN BUTCHERS EVERY CHILD!

**[Verse 3]**

Teeth ground down to bloody stumps

Tongue chewed off in ragged lumps

Flayed alive in cotton sheets

Raw meat child – his favorite treat

**[Verse 4]**

Fingers snapped, nails peeled slow

Tendons plucked like strings of woe

Sand poured deep in open veins

Crystal death, eternal chains

**[Pre-Chorus]**

Pray the lord your soul to keep

He harvests while you sleep

**[Chorus –

EXIT LIGHT! ENTER BLADE!

SANDSTORM RIPS YOUR FUCKING FACE!

NEVER WAKE! ETERNAL SLAUGHTER!

LIMBS TORN OFF – FED TO HIS DAUGHTER!

*(Gang)* EYES! GOUGED! RAW!

*(Gang)* SOCKETS! EXPLODE!

BEHEADED SPAWN DEVOUR THE LOAD!

GUTS ON THE FLOOR! BRAINS DEFILED!

SANDMAN BUTCHERS EVERY CHILD!

**[Bridge –

Now I lay me down to die

Sandman claws out both my eyes

If I scream before I wake

Feed my corpse to his mistake

**[Breakdown –

RIP! TEAR! GOUGE! BLEED!

EYES! OUT! FEED! THE! BREED!

GORE! SAND! ETERNAL! PAIN!

SANDMAN... SLAUGHTERS AGAIN!

**[Outro]**

Exit light... enter night...

Sandman forever rips...

YOUR EYES ARE MINE!!!
