Rush - The Weapon Part Ii Of 'fear' Lyrics
Words by neil peart, music by geddy lee and alex lifesonWeve got nothing to fear --- but fear itself?Not pain or 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 gloveWe are sheltered under the gunIn the glory game on the power trainThy kingdoms will be doneAnd the things that we fearAre a weapon to be held against us...Hes not afraid of your judgementHe knows of horrors worse than your hellHes a little bit afraid of dying ---But hes a lot more afraid of your lyingAnd the things that he fearsAre a weapon to be held against him...Can any part of life --- be larger than life?Even love must be limited by timeAnd those who push us down that they might climb ---Is any killer worth more than his crime?Like a steely blade in a silken sheathWe dont see what theyre made ofThey shout about love, but when push comes to shoveThey live for the things theyre afraid ofAnd the knowledge that they fearIs a weapon to be used against them...
