The Eternal Persistence of Dread
October 13, 2012

I was only a boy when my life was destroyed
By a nagging dark fear in my head
So profane it's profound, well there's no getting round
The eternal persistence of dread

The eternal persistence of dread — DREAD!
The eternal persistence of dread — DREAD!
It's a lingering curse and it only gets worse
The eternal persistence of dread

And with each passing year, how I tasted the fear
That so bittered my daily bread
And my youth fell away, but I'll tell you what stayed:
The eternal persistence of dread

The eternal persistence of dread — DREAD!
The eternal persistence of dread — DREAD!
It strikes ladies and gents and it never relents
The eternal persistence of dread

And now I'm an old man, but I don't understand
Why they call the sky blue when it's red
Cause the sun gives no sign it could ever outshine
The eternal persistence of dread

The eternal persistence of dread — DREAD!
The eternal persistence of dread — DREAD!
It's blacker than black and it always comes back
The eternal persistence of dread

On the day that I die, don't go wondering why
All my friends except one will have fled
It's more constant than love, yes I'm still speaking of
The eternal persistence of dread

The eternal persistence of dread — DREAD!
The eternal persistence of dread — DREAD!
It goes deeper than death, never runs out of breath
The eternal persistence of dread
