Rush - Freeze Lyrics
The city crouches, steamingIn the early morning half-lightThe sun is still a rumorAnd the night is still a threatSlipping through the dark streetsAnd the echoes and the shadowsSomething stirs behind meAnd my palms begin to sweatSometimes I freeze - until the light comesSometimes I fly - into the nightSometimes I fight - against the darknessSometimes I'm wrong - sometimes I'm rightCoiled for the springOr caught like a creature in the headlightsInto a desperate panicOr a tempest of blind furyLike a cornered beastOr a conquering heroThe menace threatens, closingAnd I'm frozen in the shadowsI'm not prepared to run awayAnd I'm not prepared to fightI can't stand to reasonOr surrender to a reflexI will trust my instinctsOr surrender to my frightSometimes we freeze - until the light comesSometimes we're wrong - and sometimes we're rightSometimes we fight - against the darknessSometimes we fly - into the nightBlood running coldMind going down into a dark nightOf a desperate panicOr a tempest of blind furyLike a cornered beastOr a conquering heroSometimes I freezeSometimes I fightSometimes I flyInto the night
