Fear comes from the pit of your soul, bringing forth emotions the Devil would extol
Nothing but a growing urgency coming from within
It makes you shudder, your heart eerily flutter
Examining the clutter of your mind, exposing your most horrendous sin
What better way to get under your skin, than to expose your most damning sin?
But yet, what more malicious a way to begin?

Fear is the never ending threat that causes you to break a cold sweat
It refuses to cease 'til your fate is met, and your soul Lucifer will win
An everlasting battle of inner demons, seemingly fought for no reason
A deadly and potent treason, so sinister as to make Satan grin
However, to see the Tempter grin
Is the equivalent of being devoured by one's own sin.

Fear is the sudden uncertain sadness, that often leads to madness
It will consume you, entomb you, eat away at you from within
It delves into the very core of your soul, so that no secret is left untold
Meant to erode everything, there's no stopping once it begins
To truly erode everything is when udder chaos begins
But who's to say chaos isn't what makes the world spin?
