"I must not fear Fear is the mind-killer Fear is the little-death That brings total obliteration." Who put the petals of lead onto our eyelids? How did we end up so sad? We stand unable to speak And all of our misdeeds Just sit in shame upon our cheeks And someday the sun'll burn forests and ignite the air And someday the sun'll make the oceans boil up out of despair I am not waiting for my hopes To grow higher than trees Too high and the devil sees I am not waiting another minute, another year Have I suffered beyond repair? Will I pull through the night Trying to force out all my demons back into the light? (I just want to get one thing right) Doesn't take a special kind of trick Or a dire way of things to make a person weak (I just want to give up with pride) And someday the sun'll burn forests and ignite the air And someday the sun'll make the oceans boil up out of despair I won't sit around and guess Or wait for someone to confess Once the heads have rolled Well you trust me to be good But will you stand still if I shoot As the clues unfold? "I will face my fear I will permit it to pass over me and through me And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path Where the fear has gone there will be nothing Only I will remain."
