This is the fear of all flesh Decay of the body and soul This is the fear of all flesh Rotting in the depths of the unknown The paralyzing horrors of the world That comes to weed us out one by one There is no stopping it's coming Suffering's the only way It is an affliction It is the loss of all control What use is decision? Just wait until the future unfolds Take hold of you heart, and steady your soul, stay true to what you know For what we think is to come, is never written in stone The day may come, when at last you will see, and find the answers that you seek That the fear of all flesh might be what drives us to be The thought of the loss, or the sting of the pain The cold of the sweat, the caress of the rain Cries of the past that sill echo in me Blind to the path, that I just cannot see We all lack the vision To look beyond what we can see Both clouded and twisted Your perceptions of really set you free
