Sleep Paralysis by Paul Marz Lyrics
Woke up in bed, as I’m laying there paralyzed
Pair of red eyes were just staring at mine
Face full of teeth like Baraka, it smiled
They're jagged and pointy, massive in size
I question myself, I'm dreaming? or am I?
Squirmed to get up, gave up and then tried
Gave up again then tried one more time
But all I could do was just look side to side
Felt a force overpower me, darkness arrived
The face had a cloak and its hands opened wide
Put its palms on my chest
It's thumbs on my neck
Claws on my ribs tried to crush me to death
Couldn't talk, couldn't speak, not a peep had no breath
In peace I might rest is this my final test ?
May not be the best, still I'm not the worst
Flashbacks of every memory since birth
As I looked at the entity, why'd it try ending me?
Choking my throat wore a filthy torn cloak
This strange apportion appearing from smoke
Was here on a mission to snatch up my soul
But that ain't the end, nah that's just the start
It opened its jaws about as wide as a shark
I readied myself, made peace in my heart
Then all of a sudden, a light in the dark
It entered the room, not a moment too soon
& The shadowy figure was quickly removed
I examined the light as I regained my sight
Seen this marvelous creature stood up on my right
Stared at wings as they rose from the glow
Bright as the sun with, robes white as snow
Tall like a giant, skin made looked like gold
Wondered what happened, tho I do not know
As I’m layin there froze, the angel then spoke
A glimmer of hope thru the vision behold
Heard it say Paul, then it just paused
Sat up in awe, could move now once more
Pair of red eyes were just staring at mine
Face full of teeth like Baraka, it smiled
They're jagged and pointy, massive in size
I question myself, I'm dreaming? or am I?
Squirmed to get up, gave up and then tried
Gave up again then tried one more time
But all I could do was just look side to side
Felt a force overpower me, darkness arrived
The face had a cloak and its hands opened wide
Put its palms on my chest
It's thumbs on my neck
Claws on my ribs tried to crush me to death
Couldn't talk, couldn't speak, not a peep had no breath
In peace I might rest is this my final test ?
May not be the best, still I'm not the worst
Flashbacks of every memory since birth
As I looked at the entity, why'd it try ending me?
Choking my throat wore a filthy torn cloak
This strange apportion appearing from smoke
Was here on a mission to snatch up my soul
But that ain't the end, nah that's just the start
It opened its jaws about as wide as a shark
I readied myself, made peace in my heart
Then all of a sudden, a light in the dark
It entered the room, not a moment too soon
& The shadowy figure was quickly removed
I examined the light as I regained my sight
Seen this marvelous creature stood up on my right
Stared at wings as they rose from the glow
Bright as the sun with, robes white as snow
Tall like a giant, skin made looked like gold
Wondered what happened, tho I do not know
As I’m layin there froze, the angel then spoke
A glimmer of hope thru the vision behold
Heard it say Paul, then it just paused
Sat up in awe, could move now once more
