It amazes me The crazy ways people have died The time you have to react Is so crucial to your survival Freezing in shock is why people die Can't control the inner reaction As to what the mind sends Paralyzed by fear you cannot move And wound up dead Like when you die in your sleep From someone killing you An intruder breaking into a house Pulls a knife on you Slicing off your breast Proceeds to rape For a second you could have escaped But paralyzed by fear, scared He kills you A man in the woods Stumbles onto a grizzly bear Because he was scared Ends up mauled instead A cop yells out "FREEZE!" to a man Who tries to escape Ends up dead from bullet wounds Could have escaped the train Coming for you But you were paralyzed by fear Have a nice death!
