The Weapon Lyrics

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 judgment

 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...
