Danger

The secret blackness
Of the winter snow
I remember summer
How we had such hopes
How our lives once worthless
We're sure to change
How we spoke these words
With a joyful rage

I wanna feel danger
Fear is what I seek
The open door
The unknown shores
The road beneath my feet
I want to feel danger
Fear is what I seek
Till the day I die
With my head held high
I will prove I can be free

But now you lay there
In embrace with snow
And it's icy clutches
Make your skin so cold
And I can't help thinking
What a fool I've been
In a world like this one
Who the hell would sing

I wanna feel danger
Fear is what I seek
The open door
The unknown shores
The road beneath my feet
I want to feel danger
Fear is what I seek
Till the day I die
With my head held high
I will prove I can be free
I wanna feel danger

They came in the dusk
Where the pines meet the river
Too heavy to run
We watch as they make their descent
The sun failing out to the west
Their faces a mirror of death
And those words rattling round in my head
I just wanted something
Whatever I could take
But your frozen eyeballs
Stare me down with a cold cadaverous hate

I wanna feel danger
Fear is what I seek
The open door
The unknown shores
The road beneath my feet
I want to feel danger
Fear is what I seek
Till the day I die
With my head held high
I will prove I can be free
I want to feel danger
I just wanted to be free
