Never Wake In Fear
Oh I never wake in fear
at men who scream and men who sneer
and people chanting, "hounds draw near!"
Oh I never wake in fear.
The ignorance of jeers and hate
are always thrashing at the gate,
but all they do is seal our fate
for I never wake in fear.
The warden points and dogs do bite
in finding ways to prove what's right.
While all we do is breed despite
and I never wake in fear.
His lasting words, a dying impression
draw from wrath a pleading confession
laughing at a virtue regression
still I never wake in fear.
You hope they shiver at your blade..?
At all the WONDEROUS things you've made?
When all their morals, you invade?
Strange I never wake in fear!
How you claw, to fully erase
the hopeless, foul things in this place.
When mirrors are your only face...
why can't I ever wake in fear?
My time is done, my mind is clear.
Yet, still I wonder why I'm here...
With hope, one day, I'll shed a tear,
the day that I wake up in fear...
