Fear

And I am drifting down the stream into a waterfall, and
I am trapped beneath the froth
Swimming for the surface, and reaching for the sides, and
I am so afraid that both are out of reach, and
I am so afraid that both are out of reach, and
I am so afraid of drowning

CHORUS
This is my fear, this is my cry--
Who will save me in my hour of drowning?
I cannot hear, I cannot see--
Darkness and gravity are all around me
Lord, hear my cry...

The heavy weight of the decision
Bears down upon these tiny shoulders
The two sides of my Inquisition
Tear at my soul like frightened soldiers
Fear of what the future's holding,
Fear that I might be mistaken
So confused; the thunder's rolling
Across this plain o'ercast with hatred

Soon the day will come, and I will be the one,
There is no other
When I must decide, I must reject this pride
That holds me under

I have a feeling my fears have found their feet again;
I'm concerned that there's a coward in control
The devil's able to hide behind his lying friends,
Like a puppeteer I'm letting steer my soul

I know the music--the melody I've heard before:
When the panic plays, I dance this sorry jig
The undertaker is burying my dreams once more:
Like a fool, I grab a spade and help him dig
