RUSH - Freeze (Part IV of Fear) lyrics

rate me

The city crouches, steaming

In the early morning half-light

The sun is still a rumor

And the night is still a threat

Slipping through the dark streets

And the echoes and the shadows

Something stirs behind me

And my palms begin to sweat

Sometimes I freeze - until the light comes

Sometimes I fly - into the night

Sometimes I fight - against the darkness

Sometimes I'm wrong - sometimes I'm right

Coiled for the spring

Or caught like a creature in the headlights

Into a desperate panic

Or a tempest of blind fury

Like a cornered beast

Or a conquering hero

The menace threatens, closing

And I'm frozen in the shadows

I'm not prepared to run away

And I'm not prepared to fight

I can stand to reason

Or surrender to a reflex

I will trust my instincts

Or surrender to my fright

Sometimes we freeze - until the light comes

Sometimes we're wrong - and sometimes we're right

Sometimes we fight - against the darkness

Sometimes we fly - into the night

Blood running cold

Mind going down into a dark night

Of a desperate panic

Or a tempest of blind fury

Like a cornered beast

Or a conquering hero

Sometimes I freeze

Sometimes I fight

Sometimes I fly

Into the night
