We walk darkened streets
a time of shadows,
spies lurk everywhere
secret societies overshadow 
hidden agendas pollute the air
false priests lecture
hypocritical pieties,
professional liars conjecture 
about the finer nature of society,
doctors of philosophy debate
and lay the bait over trap doors
while grim reapers surround us
murky endless arbitrary wars.

No fear
surmounting countless wasted hours
hear the music of the flowers
dancing rhythms of the spheres
Shout truth to the dark powers
beyond all deluded frontiers 
No fear in the now and here

TV news chinese puzzles
every truth stood on its head
turn my brain into puddles
make me long to stay in bed
What is really going on now,
what their goals and motivations
who is pulling all the strings,
why the banks and politicians 
all wear bling and gangster rings
where are we supposed to turn now
betrayed by stooges and buffoons
why have we all been praying
to the darkside of the moon?

No fear
surmounting countless wasted hours
hear the music of the flowers
dancing rhythms of the spheres
Shout truth to the dark powers
beyond all deluded frontiers 
No fear in the now and here

Futile to believe in
dangerous to speak your mind 
social justice attacked by demons
mincing words as evil shines 
surrendering what we grieve for
Is this the best we can be?
the sky unclear but spring 
a hopeless possibility?
Are these the jaws we 
are all trapped in?
Is there no home where liberation rings?
Or are these are just pathetic fantasies
real world impossibilities
are we all too disheartened
to stand up and sing?

No fear
surmounting countless wasted hours
hear the music of the flowers
dancing rhythms of the spheres
Shout truth to the dark powers
beyond all deluded frontiers 
No fear in the now and here
