	Story Behind the Song This song was written to remind me that there is nothing to fear but fear itself. Lyrics Its an unlit alley on a moonless night Its rustling in bushes just out of sight Its the mystery phone call when you're all alone Its being confronted with the great unknown Its airplanes and spiders and the number thirteen Or being in the grip of a nightmarish dream Its the chill wind moaning during a storm Its pre-natal terror from before you were born Carpe diem Seize the day Face your fear And it goes away Place your head in the lion’s jaws Free your mind from fear’s sharp claws Bathe yourself in the dragon’s fire Slay your fears as you desire Its the coyote voicing his solo howl Its the tomcat at midnight's mournful yowl Its the rabid dog's slavering madness Its the lonesome dove's terminal sadness Its irrational phobia that seizes your mind Or the strange event that makes Catholics sign Its lives underneath your childhood bed Its frozen upon the mask of the dead Carpe diem Seize the day Face your fear And it goes away Place your head in the lion’s jaws Free your mind from fear’s sharp claws Bathe yourself in the dragon’s fire Slay your fears as you desire Is it the dark or the bright light of truth? Is it not growing up or the loss of your youth? Is it the opposite sex or your own libido? Is it being exposed or loss of your ego? Is it criminal predators stalking the street Like wolves in a flock dining on sheep? Is it the awful prospect of the same old grind A nine to five robot slowly losing your mind? Is it power and money and your slice of pie And then discovering what they cannot buy? Is it strangers or people not exactly like you Or perhaps its really just anything new? Is it tomorrow or yesterday? Is it men in white coats that take you away? Is it not measuring up to your parent's ideal? Is it showing someone you can actually feel? Is it the prospect of growing old and lonely Being full of regret and saying "if only"? Is it the fact that some day you will die Probably without the answers to "why"? Is it the hot fires of hell that may await Or eternal purgatory if that is your fate? Or maybe you bet on the wrong deity And a vengeful god holds Paradise's key? Carpe diem Seize the day Face your fears And they go away Place your head in the lion’s jaws Free your mind from fear’s sharp claws Bathe yourself in the dragon’s fire Slay your fears as you desire
