Question Your Motives

Fear is the Titan that crushes you underfoot

Fear is the assassin that prefers things discreet

Masses are steamrolled by its incredible force
Silently it takes you down without ever showing its source

We are all subject to the power it wields
Some overcome, yet too many yield

Some face it with sheer determination
They see it as a source for true creation

Others buckle and break under its weight
Often realizing it can be overcome, years too late

It's up to you which side you will take
Will you take it upon yourself to fight or leave it up to fate?
