We've got nothing to fear -- but fear itself? |
|
Not pain, not failure, not fatal tragedy? |
|
Not the faulty units in this mad machinery? |
|
Not the broken contacts in emotional chemistry? |
|
|
|
With an iron fist in a velvet glove |
|
We are sheltered under the gun |
|
In the glory game on the power train |
|
Thy kingdom's will be done |
|
|
|
And the things that we fear |
|
Are a weapon to be held against us |
|
He's not afraid of your judgement |
|
He knows of horrors worse than your Hell |
|
He's a little bit afraid of dying |
|
But he's a lot more afraid of your lying |
|
|
|
And the things that he fears |
|
Are a weapon to be held against him |
|
|
|
Can any part of life be larger than life? |
|
Even love must be limited by time |
|
And those who push us down that they might climb |
|
Is any killer worth more than his crime? |
|
|
|
Like a steely blade in a silken sheath |
|
We don't see what they're made of |
|
They shout about love, but when push comes to shove |
|
They live for the things they're afraid of |
|
|
|
And the knowledge that they fear |
|
Is a weapon to be used against them |
