Rescind My Fear

And the forest was burned
And the creatures then did learn
That we couldn’t live together like this
So each turned its face & fled
Into wilderness
And the people began to weep
When they saw their friends take flight & leap
Out into darkness
And in the graves
The dead raised their voices to say
We disapprove today
But you and I
We’ll go out together
We’ll ride out together
We’ll go out together right now
I’ll rescind my fear & come alive
I’m not alone
Shear the dead
Old skin & bear the bone
I’m not alone
Allow the sun to burn my skeleton
Return to fields
Hold the warmth inside my broken home
I’m not alone
