Fear

"Fear is for prey," they say
For cowards it is true!
That enemy is gonna stay
If you let it get to you.

Fear is not a friendly friend
It's cold and hard and rude.
It offers a more faithless trend
That makes it hard to move.

Fear tries to seem sweet and kind
It's purposes are vain.
That enemy leaves it's prey so blind
Makes faith go down the drain!

Fear really isn't what it seems
It laughs when we give in.
"Faith is so far away," it gleams.
"It has gone for a little spin."

"Fear is for prey," they say.
For cowards it is true!
If you tell it to go away
Then faith will lead you through!
