Fear Lyrics by Mercyful Fate

Dead Again

1998

[Verse 1]
In the mirror, I have seen him
And he scares me
The creature behind the mask I wear
I know his name is fear
In the mirror, he's looking back at me
I have to face him every day
[Chorus]
And I know him not so well
His name is fear
[Verse 2]
So deep within, yet so far away
I wonder, will he always stay?
Stay so deep within, deep within my soul
[Chorus]
And I know him not so well
His name is fear
[Verse 3]
The man in the mirror, he scares me
For I know him not so well
The creature behind the mask I wear
I know his name is fear
In the mirror, it's not my eyes I see
But they are always there
[Bridge]
I cannot let it show, no one must ever know
The horror that lies so deep within
Tucked away beneath my skin
And it scares me, yes it scares me
[Verse 2]
So deep within, yet so far away
I wonder, will he always stay?
Stay so deep within, deep within my soul
[Chorus]
And I know him not so well
His name is fear
[Guitar Solo: Mike Wead]
[Verse 4]
No man nor any book, will ever teach me what I need to know
No man nor any book, will ever teach me what I'm longing for
Only the creature, living inside of me
Could show me the meaning of life
[Bridge]
I cannot let it show, no one must ever know
The horror that lives so deep within
Tucked away beneath my skin
And it scares me, yes it scares me
