Mercury Rising - Where Fear Ends lyrics

I've felt the deadly grip of compromise

And fought to keep conviction burning in my eyes

Surrender perseverance doesn't recognize

And with the light of each new day I'll find my way

Beneath the pulsing beat of neon heat and city streets

Or on a mountain side under moonlit sky with stars on high

The answer lies not so much in where you are

But destination and what you'll find

Into the fire some would throw their lives

And hope that with security and fear subsides

Dreams and ambitions they would choose to hide

A disregarded spirit leaves them empty inside

Inside of every man a master plan the high command

Truth to one's self is shelter from the storm and keeps the sin unborn

The greatest truth I've ever known has been where truth begins where fear ends

How sad a man could lose his destiny to the powers that be in this world

For just outside this lifetime is a higher call stand or fall

Victory is more than just security

Affluency has no jurisdiction over death

Victorious the man who stands his ground and won't go down

But offers to the cause his every breath

I've felt the deadly grip of compromise

And fought to keep conviction burning in my eyes

Surrender perserverence doesn't recognize

And with the light of each new day

I'll find my way

I've seen the empty eyes, believing lies hypnotized

I stand uncompromised and await the new sunrise

The greatest truth

I've ever known has been where truth begins is where fear ends

Victory is more than just security

Affluency has no jurisdiction over death

Victorious the man who stands his ground and won't go down

But offers to the cause his every breath
