You told me you had these thoughts
Of impending doom
But you never told me about them,
So I never told you I feel them too
You feel the sky surrender
To the darkness and to the gloom
You feel let down by the world,
But only your friends can betray you
I think the way you love the world
Is the way that I loved you
If sadness could bring us together,
Imagine what joy could do
You cannot get away from,
Cannot get away from fear
Lest it use us, lest it confuse us
Lest it lead us or mistreat us,
Or confound me or impound me
The hovering cloud of fear beside me
Oh, fear get away from, fear get away from here (X2)
Now our blood runs black in mourning
Oh, and it flows as sticky as tar
When what our hearts once beat for
Is burnt out, faded and scarred
You mourn the love you thought was real
It turned black, joined the armies of the night
You thought of love as always triumphant,
Now you know you have to fight
You cannot get away from,
Cannot get away from fear
Lest it use us, lest it confuse us
Lest it lead us or mistreat us,
Or confound me or impound me
The hovering cloud of fear beside me
Oh, fear get away from, fear get away from here (X2)
You loved the world for its beauty
The only thing you knew to be true
But the devil’s whole love shook the thunder
Beat the waves, your love went under
Now you live in the fear
That love may not be real
Fear is to love,
As chains are to free
And now you’ve seen the darkness
All the lights have been snuffed out
It surrounds you like a mist
Your once warm heart is frozen
‘Cause your love is drowned
And the silence of the dead unbroken when you shout (X3)
Oh, this is the madness of impending doom
Oh, before the dawn light sweeps the room
Fear has no ideas of its own
It is just a destroyer
And it wants you on your own
You cannot get away from,
Cannot get away from fear
Lest it use us, lest it confuse us
Lest it lead us or mistreat us,
Or confound me or impound me
The hovering cloud of fear beside me
Oh, fear get away from, fear get away from here (X2)
