lyrics

I’m not afraid of dying
Not afraid of what comes next
I don’t fear the Reaper
I don’t fear the end

I’m not afraid of zealots
Not afraid of war
Bombs or explosions
Or a nuclear downpour

I’m not afraid of guns
Not afraid of crime
I don’t fear my brother
We’re all equal all the time

Every move
Every step
I’m in no danger
Nothing’s happened yet
No red flags
Nothing’s wrong
Calm come quick
I can’t keep this up for long

I’m not afraid of failure
I don’t fear success
I don’t fear rejection
I don’t fear regret

I’m not afraid of falling
Not afraid of love
I don’t fear commitment
Or giving myself up

Not afraid of sickness
Not afraid of growing old
I’m not afraid of karma
Or all the lies I’ve told

Every move
Every step
Every single second
A possible regret
No alarms
Nothing’s wrong
Calm come quick
I can’t keep this up for long
Calm come quick
