The Weapon Part Ii Of 'fear' Lyrics - Rush

We've got nothing to fear but fear itself 

Not pain or 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 judgement 

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 things they're afraid of. 

And the knowledge that they fear 

Is a weapon to be used against them. 

He's not afraid of your judgement 

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. 

He's not afraid of your judgement 

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.
