The Darkest Hour
From the top of a tower
On the darkest hour
Stood a man with no fear
He never stopped to wonder
"What makes me afraid?"
No test
No challenge
No thought to change
But tonight was different
Tonight he did think
About what he was afraid of
He had never fought a battle,
Nor defeated a fearsome giant
But then again he didn't know how.
How could he wield a sword with the experience a knight required?
Was this fear?
This creeping feeling of
The unknown
The "what if"?
If this was fear, he thought
He must learn to conquer it.
To fear no more
And be more than it.
But he never realized
Without fear
There is no caution.
So after learning to fight
And wield a sword
Into battle he went
His weapon in tow
He fought and fought
With might and no fear
But all his dreams ended
With the point of a spear
He died that day
Because he had no fear
No sign to stop
For his will to disappear
So without fear
Are we really strong?
Not monsters in disguise
Who feel no wrong?
Without fear
Do we know what's right?
So we can sleep peacefully each night?
So I believe we should question
This factor of life
Before a spear hits our backs
And we can't think twice.
