Fearless
It's the only power they have
Read the news Watch the report Look at the statistics Horrible and horrifying Terrible and terrific Awful and awesome They pump the terror into your eyes Nonstop Know this though Every time you give in to it Every time you swim in that stream When your soul indulges fear and fearing And every time I allow myself to be afraid We give them the power Like offering your neck to your enemy We freely give ourselves To those who desire The power to do Whatever they want to do to us So do not fear Everyone is going to die some day Safety is a myth Do not be afraid Fear is the real fatality Some of us die from accidents Some of us die from disease Some of us die in horrible industrial catastrophies With molten textiles burning through skulls Arms and limbs splattered into pink mist Maybe some of us will die peacefully Alone in our beds The Warriors hope to die in a great battle Proving their might and skill Jaw-dropping feats of strength and power Giving their lives to save the ones they love Fulfilling the whole purpose of their lives I hope to die With a pile of enemies dead at my feet Who were cut down by my own hand Ten or twelve who would’ve hurt those I love I will smile a warm smile A single tear will roll down my cheek As I move my thoughts from the finished fight And think of more pleasant things My last thoughts will be of my children And finally my wife Of all the love and sadness I’ve been so fortunate to feel Then to eternity That trip each of us is destined to embark upon Make the most of it Or perhaps I’ll die an old man With generations of descendants Surrounding me and singing Perhaps not my first choice But not the worst way to go Whatever it is Do not be afraid I tell you again Do not be afraid To indulge in fear Is to paralyze yourself with inaction The what if and the might be All are false conjectures Don’t be afraid of them The devils and fiends Who wish to crush you Who want your children tortured While you watch The violators of humanity So twisted spiritually that All they know is desolation Their only power is fear We do not fear We are not afraid of fear We do not fear fear itself Even fear is not to be feared Isolated alone and afraid Is what they want It’s what they need It’s the only chance they have So the solution is simple Do not fear Do not be afraid I love you and I always will Do. Not. Fear.
