Lyrics

I must not fear fear is the mind-killer I must not fear fear is the mind-killer Fear is the little death That brings total obliteration I will face my fear I will permit it to pass over me And through me and when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see it's path Where the fear has gone There will be nothing Only I will remain i must not fear Fear is the mind-killer Fear is the little death That brings total oblitеration I will face my fear i will permit it to pass Ovеr me and through me And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see it's path Where the fear has gone there will be nothing Only I will remain What's in the box what's in the box What's in the box pain Pain What's in the box what's in the box What's in the box pain Pain What's in the box what's in the box What's in the box pain Pain What's in the box what's in the box What's in the box pain Pain You've heard of animals chewing off a Leg to escape a trap That's an animal kind of trick A human would remain in the trap Endure the pain feign death that he might Kill the trapper and Remove a threat to his kind (Why are you doing this) (Why are you doing this) To determine if you are a human (Be silent, It burns) silence His world emptied of everything except The hand immersed in agony He thought he could feel skin growing Black on that agonized hand The flesh crisping and falling away Until only charred bone remained What's in the box what's in the box What's in the box pain Pain What's in the box what's in the box What's in the box pain Pain What's in the box what's in the box What's in the box pain Pain what's in the box What's in the box what's in the box Pain pain It stopped As though a switch had been turned off The pain stopped Enough Take your hand from the box young human And look at it (do it) He jerked his hand from the box astonished Not even a mark No sign of agony on the flesh He held up the hand Turned it, flexed the fingers Pain, she sniffed A human can override any nerve in the body Ever sift sand through a screen We Bene Gesserit sift people To find the humans Paul felt that he had been Infected with terrible purpose He did not know yet what The terrible purpose was Why do you test for humans to set you free To set you free from you Once men turned their thinking Over to machines In the hopes that this would set them free That only permitted other men with Machines to enslave them (Thou shalt not make a machine in The likeness of a human mind)
