Fear
Rage Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I stand within my own darkness
I stand within my self created hell
I can't deny my own destiny
I can't see beyond the night
I feel like death is approaching
I feel the end is coming my way
I know that darkness is here to stay
And I can't deny the fear

Seeing the night without any light
Fearing the shadows in the corners within
Doubting and wondering all my life
Is there ever something real to win
Succumbing and falling into the night
Knowing the nothingness that waits within
The devil himself that waits in my soul
Is raping and killing me for my sins

Seeing the night without any light
Fearing the shadows in the corners within
Doubting and wondering all my life
Is there ever something real to win (And I can't deny the fear)
Succumbing and falling into the night
Knowing the nothingness that waits within
The devil himself that waits in my soul
Is raping and killing me for my sins





And I can't deny the fear
