When the world implodes and burns from the inside, I will not fear God I will hear the prayers of folks fallen to their knees Calling out to you Calling out your name In begging for mercy Clemency Fear Fear of death That soon would swallow them whole As the earth devours itself But I will not fear you I will not So be it the planet dies So be it it crumbles beneath my feet So be it I shall die too So be it the death I shall go through is slow and painful So be it I will scream in anguish and agony as the life drains out of me So be it the hundred, thousand hands grasping my ankles Calling out to me to kneel before you Crying out to me to beg before you For your forgiveness To be spared from retribution To be spared from the cackling fires of Hell I will not kneel before you I will not ***** my knees for you I will not cover them in bruises and mud for you I will not bow my head in silence for you I will not silence my voice and thoughts for you I will not cower under your stare I will not fear you.

Fear of God
When the world implodes and burns from the inside, I will not fear God I will hear the prayers of folks fallen to their knees Calling out to you Calling out your name In begging for mercy Clemency Fear Fear of death That soon would swallow them whole As the earth devours itself But I will not fear you I will not So be it the planet dies So be it it crumbles beneath my feet So be it I shall die too So be it the death I shall go through is slow and painful So be it I will scream in anguish and agony as the life drains out of me So be it the hundred, thousand hands grasping my ankles Calling out to me to kneel before you Crying out to me to beg before you For your forgiveness To be spared from retribution To be spared from the cackling fires of Hell I will not kneel before you I will not ***** my knees for you I will not cover them in bruises and mud for you I will not bow my head in silence for you I will not silence my voice and thoughts for you I will not cower under your stare I will not fear you.
