Freeze (Part IV of "Fear") Songtext
von Rush

The city crouches, steaming
In the early morning half-light
The sun is still a rumour
And the night is still a threat

Slipping through the dark streets
And the echoes and the shadows
Something stirs behind me
And my palms begin to sweat

Sometimes I freeze
Until the light comes
Sometimes I fly
Into the night
Sometimes I fight
Against the darkness
Sometimes I′m wrong
And sometimes I'm right

Coiled for the spring, or caught like a creature in the headlights
Into a desperate panic, or a tempest of blind fury
Like a cornered beast, or a conquering hero


The menace threatens, closing
And I′m frozen in the shadows
I'm not prepared to run away
And I'm not prepared to fight
I can′t stand to reason or surrender to a reflex
I will trust my instincts or surrender to my fright

Sometimes we freeze
Until the light comes
Sometimes we′re wrong
And sometimes we're right
Sometimes we fight
Against the darkness
Sometimes we fly
Into the night

Blood running cold, mind going down into a dark night
Of a desperate panic, or a tempest of blind fury
Like a cornered beast, or a conquering hero

Sometimes I freeze
Sometimes I fly

Sometimes I freeze
Until the light comes
Sometimes I fly
Into the night

Into the night
Into the night
