Lyrics

Fear Machine

Black as the devil
Sweet as a stolen kiss
You walk in the shadow
Soft as a whispered wish
You're taking everything you want
Then you vanish in the mist

Riders approaching
Ghosts are in the sky
Voices are calling
But there's nowhere left to hide
You pass through this dimension
Like a moth into the light

Black as the devil
Sweet as the summer breeze
A thief in the night sky
Trying to steal my dreams

But I won't be your prisoner
Inside the fear machine
No, I won't be your prisoner
Inside the fear machine
