Surrounded by Fright - Nile

Decanent world in a frenzy of evil.

Slowly stripped of life.

Raped of principles with a common reason.

Justice for which we fight.

Madmen stagger into power,

pulling strings from ivory towers.

Vampire machines drain and devour

as screams strike the hour.

Do you ever feel frightened in the dead of night?

Can you hear the children scream?

Lurking witches coming for you

every night and every day.

Some good, some evil,

but they all know where you are.

Only thing to do is run away, away,

or stay and be surrounded by fright.

Surrounded by fright.

I’m surrounded.

Surrounded by fright.

Innocent provoked, guilty set free.

I don’t know which way to go.

What will they think of me when I lose all control?

Nightmare, reality,

or am I just in Hell?

Think I’m on a one way ticket to being totally…

Surrounded by fright.

I’m surrounded.

Surrounded by fright.

(Guitar solo)

Invisible parasite worming away at the brain.

Driving me insane: «Do this, do that.»

You live, then you die.

Burn me at the stake.

We are the martyrs of tomorrow and today.

Rise up from the fire and cry.

Surrounded by fright.

Fright.

Fright.
