Here is the first track of the 1986 demo by the U.S. based thrash metal band Vio-lence. The song is called Eternal Nightmare. Violence formed in 1985 under the name Death Penalty, but they would quickly change it to Violence and then settle on Vio-lence all within that same year. They would start recording the following year and release their first two demos. They would release a third in 1988 before they got signed and recorded their debut album Eternal Nightmare.

Lyrics:
Reality slipping and your mind is caving in
Submitting to the web that you constantly spin
It's over the edge with the straightjacket on
It's dragging you down to the world you belong
The hell in your mind that you will always see
A nightmare of terror, planted eternally
Dead space in your head, there can be no escape
Reality you see, an image, just a fake
Insomnia drives, drives you out of your head
Don't lose consciousness while lying in bed
Looking in from the outside and tightening your grip
Death sickening laughter that's beginning to rip
Your eyelids fall and they take you again
Eternal nightmare and your horror begins
Your head is filled with nothing but fear
It has you locked down, comatose is here
I've drank the blood - THAT DEAD SOULS HAVE CRIED
I cursed the devil - THEN WATCHED HIM DIE
I'm the one - THAT THE SINNERS SEEK
Well I'm your master - NOW DON'T YOU SEE
I've drank the blood - THAT DEAD SOULS HAVE CRIED
I cursed the devil - THEN WATCHED HIM DIE
I'm the one - THAT THE SINNERS SEEK
Well I'm your master - NOW DON'T YOU SEE
(repeat)
Now to you I come a calling
Reaching for your mind I'm drawing
Thoughts of freedom, see them crawling
Eternal nightmare, I'm clawing
So next time that you fall asleep
And let your thought start running deep
Remember you're the ones I choose
Eternal nightmare, I never lose
Calling
You come a calling
My laughter's mauling
Eternally I rule your mind
Constricting
Your thoughts constricting
Your mind is sickening
And they're the ones I loved to feed on the most of all
