Rush - Freeze (Part IV of "Fear") (original mix)

Описание: This is the original mix of Freeze straight from the 2002 Vapor Trails CD. It is the twelfth track from Vapor Trails. It is also Part IV of Rush's Fear series. It was originally a series that started in reverse with their 1981 song Witch Hunt from Moving Pictures, their 1982 song The Weapon from Signals and their 1984 song The Enemy Within from Grace Under Pressure.

It is loud.

All of the material belongs to Rush. I own nothing.

Enjoy!

Music by Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson

Lyrics by Neil Peart

The city crouches, steaming
In the early morning half-light
The sun is still a rumor
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 – 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 fight
Sometimes I fly
Into the night
