The Fear of All Flesh

This is the fear of all flesh
 Decay of the body and souls
 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 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 your 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 still 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 perception of what really set you free
