The terror within
My greatest fear is not considered supernatural these days, although this possibly was not always the case.
A remorseless hunter we cannot evade.
Dementia.
I've seen the future and I don't want it
But I'm manacled, powerless to stop it
I feel it creeping, creeping closer
Cos I saw what took my father
And now his face is in the morning mirror
Can't describe the terror
And all the money in the world can't buy your way out of it
And all the anger in the world can't shout your way out of it
And all the hope in the world can't wish your way out of it
You won't know when it has come
Your conclusion is foregone
In my life, never feared anything
Take on everything, up for anything
I'd bring the fight and never fail
I'd take the risks and live to sing the tale
But I'm in mortal fear of this silent enemy
And it's stalking me
And all the money in the world can't buy your way out of it
And all the anger in the world can't shout your way out of it
And all the hope in the world can't wish your way out of it
You won't know when it has come
Your conclusion is foregone
I'm like an animal trying to escape
Clawing at the walls with broken nails
Rupturing vessels and ripping skin
Desperate for grip as I'm dragged back in
Back into the pit of foregone despair
There's no way back from there
And all the money in the world can't buy your way out of it
And all the anger in the world can't shout your way out of it
And all the hope in the world can't wish your way out of it
You won't know when it has come
Your conclusion is foregone
