Gripped By Fear — Front 242

Recession repression regression Shifts of scenery And warning tremors of landslides

The sun comes down The mountains move aside Your kingdom slips out of your hands

chorus: Your tyranny I was part of Is now cracking On every side And your own life Is in danger Your empire Is on fire

The staggering blows Are shaking the walls Nowhere, no place to hide this time

Flare up / Calm down There is more sand than oil in your engine
