[Verse 1]
Every night, the dream is the same
I sit here waiting for the world to end
But it never ends
And everything I used to be
Has spiraled into insanity
Every night, I sweat and bleed in her name

[Chorus]
The dark wave comes, sanity slips away
She screams from the alcove, "I am the dog!"

[Verse 2]
She was born in the year of the dog
She never would betray the world
I never saw
Blinded eyes that never see
Shattered into infinity
Every night, the dream is the same

[Chorus]
The dark wave comes, sanity slips away
She screams from the alcove, "I am the dog!"

[Solo: Jeff Loomis]
[Verse 3]
Every night, the dream is the same
I suffer, wading
Through the endless waves of empty disdain
And everything I used to be
Has spiraled into insanity
Every night, I sweat and bleed in her name

[Chorus]
The dark wave comes, sanity slips away
She screams from the alcove
The dark wave comes, sanity slips away
She screams from the alcove, "I am the dog!"
