Immolation - Swallow the Fear lyrics

Stare and watch this tempest grow
Fed with complacent denial keep us safe
Keep the peace and teach us all to obey
Trading reason, for a shield of deceit
Surrender to all their desires
Fear is strong, fear is king
And deceit is breaking our will

Building the walls, higher and higher
Hearing the lies, louder and louder

Swallow the fear, swallow it down
Choke on your trust and all’s well
But trust is a liar, and faith is a fool
And slowly we lose sight of the truth
Caught in the whirlwind of panic and chaos
So desperate we let it all go
Make us the prisoners, concealing the irons
Destroying this life that we know
Building the walls, higher and higher
Now rip them all down and
Leave us weak and exposed

Choke on your fears, relinquish yourself
Failing to grip at the threads that are left
Surrender to powers that we’ve made so strong
Further and further we’re drifting away

Our lack of courage has taken us down
Our freedom is burning away
You bury your heads to soften the blow
But the strike will be just as deadly

Choke on the fear
All that is cherished is fading away
Choke on the fear
The powers we bow to have silenced our voice
Choke on the fear… we’re dying so slowly
Choke on the fear
Pulling us deeper and deeper
