The Weapon (Part Two of Fear) — текст песни (Rush)

We`ve 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 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...
