It’s a beast
It is starving, it is weak
From a life long forgotten and overwhelming
A life of fear of the things it cannot conceal
All those things it imagined
That were never real
Fear has a price
And a name
And a heart that cannot be tamed
It won’t forgive
It can’t be erased
Pride is a gift they cannot destroy
Sown from blood and from love that they can’t deny
Fear has a price
And a name
And a heart that cannot be tamed
It won’t forgive, it can’t be erased
And it is hungry now
And further up on the chain
If you would listen, you could be righteous
But you won’t, so
It’s a vision you couldn’t see
It’s a fever turning to fire now
It’s a fire now
All the things that you couldn’t say
All the embers turning to fire now
It’s a fire now
Fear has a price
And a name
And a heart that cannot be tamed
It won’t forgive and can’t be replaced
And it is hungry now
And further up on the chain
If you would listen, you could be righteous
But you won’t, so
It’s a vision you couldn’t see
It’s a fever turning to fire now
It’s a fire now
All the things that you couldn’t say
All the embers turning to fire now
It’s a fire now
It’s a choir you couldn’t hear
It’s a friction turning to fire now
It’s a fire now
