Fear is the key

(dickinson/gers) 5:36
we live our lives in fever
in a choking sweat of fear
in the heat of the night you can
feel so much
in the heat of the night i scream
"don't touch!"
i remember a time when we
used and abused
and fought all our battles in vain
i remember a time we thought that
passion was free
in the heart of the night... bodies aflame
we live in fever...
i hear your secret heartbeat
i can hear your silent cries
the kids have lost their freedom
and nobody cares till somebody
famous dies...
i remember a time when we
used and abused
and fought all our battles in vain
i remember a time we thought that
passion was free
in the heart of the night... bodies aflame
now we live, in a world of uncertainty
fear is the key - to what you want to be
you don't get a say the majority
gets its way
you're outnumbered by the bastards
till the day you die...
