Heyyyyy….
Your soul is like a bird, your life,
the inner rot is your god of death.
In the thick darkness of the night,
this body is just a resting flower.
Clear away the gloom, let the light
rise within your heart every day.
Fear no more, fear no more!
The grace of God will arrive.
Fear is a demon, man!
Fear is a demon, man!
If it dares to come near you,
strike it hard and thrash it!
Kick it far away!
Kick it far away!
Pat your shoulders with pride,
and swing your sword all around!
It is the panic within you
that turns into a ghost.
Foolish ignorance
will hiss like a cobra.
Faith in God
may come and go,
but making faith your God
is what will truly win!
Making loud noises
and screaming in distress
are sicknesses born of an anxious mind!
The power within you,
safely each day,
guard it close, and those ghosts will flee!
Where there is no wisdom,
there is no real strength,
and that is where fear is born!
Be brave at heart,
march forward in victory,
and your path will surely reach the peak!
Heyyy..........
