Paralyzed by Fear - Cephalic Carnage

It amazes me

The crazy ways people have died

The time you have to react

Is so crucial to your survival

Freezing in shock is why people die

Can’t control the inner reaction

As to what the mind sends

Paralyzed by fear you cannot move

And wound up dead

Like when you die in your sleep

From someone killing you

An intruder breaking into a house

Pulls a knife on you

Slicing off your breast

Proceeds to rape

For a second you could have escaped

But paralyzed by fear, scared…

He kills you

A man in the woods

Stumbles onto a grizzly bear

Because he was scared

Ends up mauled instead

A cop yells out «FREEZE!»

to a man

Who tries to escape

Ends up dead from bullet wounds…

Could have escaped the train

Coming for you

But you were paralyzed by fear

Have a nice death!
