Lyrics
Fear is the beast on the prowl in the night
Fear is a menacing force active in the night.
No longer needed around, conscious thought, it's alright
No longer necessary to have conscious thoughts; letting go is acceptable.
Just fall asleep sweet and sound, don't decide
Fall asleep peacefully without making decisions.
If the heart is sedated and treated then it won't come alive
If the heart is subdued and treated, it won't revive.

Stay safe in your house
