The Weapon

Part II of the Fear Series or Fear Trilogy is from the 1982 album Signals. "The Weapon" explains how everything that people fear can be used against them as a weapon. The songs do not follow a set storyline. Instead, they deal with topics relating to the emotion of fear. The other songs in the Fear Series include Part I: "The Enemy Within" (from 1984's Grace Under Pressure), Part III: "Witch Hunt" (from 1981's Moving Pictures) and Part IV: "Freeze" (from 2002's Vapor Trails). Parts I, II, and III were released in reverse order, while Part IV was released a little more than 18 years after Part I. The Weapon was the only song of the four to be released as a single but it did not chart.
