Encroaching Fear

They are forcing me
To give my life through gritted teeth
I do not fear thee
Fear is nothing

They can't bend my mind to their will
In time I'll find a way out
I won't be fodder to them
We're blood to fuel the war

I hold no worth to you being kept alive
I'm not a soldier, I'm a victim of their lies
I am not here by choice, they took me by surprise
I can't return to home, I'm stuck at the front lines

Bullets flying, hope is dying
Tell me, is there hope in trying
It's hopeless

I won't stop running until I've run out of fear
Encroaching upon me again
Death is coming, and I can't face my fears
I'm running out of time again
They keep fighting but I won't fight for them
This isn't how my story ends
To give my life through gritted teeth would be grim
It's hopeless, fear is nothing

Encroaching
Encroaching fear
Nothing encroaching
Encroaching fear
Nothing encroaching
Encroaching fear

Peaceful protest being crushed
By a vicious leadership
Children lose their innocence
Homes divided, lives are lost
Sacrifice the dissident
Make a lesson of them
No one dares to criticize
No one cares to recognize

It's a dictatorship that calculates our lives
It's like a game to them, the way they play with fire
But it won't last for them, when people start to rise
The steps they took silence us would only catalyze

Fools destroying their own country
Tell me, father
Is hope dying?
It's hopeless

I won't stop running until I've run out of fear
Encroaching upon me again
Death is coming, and I can't face my fears
I'm running out of time again
They keep fighting but I won't fight for them
This isn't how my story ends
To give my life through gritted teeth would be grim
It's hopeless, fear is nothing

They are forcing me
To give my life through gritted teeth
I do not fear thee
Fear is nothing

They are forcing me
To give my life through gritted teeth
I do not fear thee
Fear is nothing

Bullets flying, hope is dying
Tell me, is there hope in fighting?
Fools destroying their own country
Tell me, father
Is hope dying?

Nothing

Fear is nothing

They are forcing me
To give my life through gritted teeth
I do not fear thee
Fear is nothing
