[Intro – quite whisper] Shhh... You hear that knockin'? That's death at the motherfuckin' door again. (Laughs) We been through this shit before. You know my name... You don't know what you're dealing with. [Verse 1 – Slow, Menacing Flow] Death came knockin', I told that bitch to come inside, Pulled a chair out from the table, said, "The fuck you tryna hide?" Said, "I came to take your soul," I said, "Get your ass in line, You ain't the first to come collect, and you won't be the last to try." Seen the reaper in my rearview, sittin' quiet in the back, Told him buckle up, motherfucker, we ain't turnin' back. I've been launched across the pavement, I've been buried underneath, I've had hell around my ankles tryin' to drag me six feet deep. I ain't fearless 'cause I'm stupid, I just know what fear can do, Make a giant out a shadow till it's bigger than the truth. Death been writin' me invitations, I been sendin' 'em returned, With a note that says, "Come get me when the whole damn universe burns." [Chorus – Heavy, Haunting Vocals] I DON'T FEAR DEATH! (Nah!) I done watched that bastard blink! Had my toes across the edge, But I never fuckin' sank! I DON'T FEAR HELL! (Nah!) Let them gates come crashing down! When I walk into the darkness, Even demons turn around! Let the thunder shake the heavens, Let the oceans swallow land, If the devil wants a problem, Tell him come and shake my hand! [Verse 2 – Rapid, Aggressive Flow] I'm David with a slingshot, Goliath with a death wish, Little motherfucker facing mountains, never been impressed yet. Giants cast a shadow, I just step into the shade, Tell that big-ass son of a bitch, "You should've stayed inside your cave!" I don't need an army standin' twenty thousand at my back, Just a stone, a little faith, and the courage they all lack. When the monster starts approaching, I ain't lookin' for a route, I'm the crazy motherfucker all the monsters warned about. Ain't a storm that makes me tremble, ain't a beast that makes me crawl, Ain't a king upon this planet ever made me feel that small. Let the earth crack down the middle, let the stars fall from the sky, I'll be standin' in the ashes with my middle finger high. You can threaten me with torture, with a coffin, with a flame, But a man who's walked through hell don't get intimidated by its name! [Chorus – Distorted Choir] I DON'T FEAR DEATH! (Nah!) That motherfucker knows my face! Every time he came to claim me, I walked out without a trace! I DON'T FEAR HELL! (Nah!) Ain't no throne gonna make me bow! Tell the devil lock his kingdom, 'Cause I'm headed through it now! [Verse 3 – Demonic Atmosphere, Slow Building Rage] Walked into the underworld, the fire started burnin' blue, Demons whispered, "Close the gates! The motherfucker made it through!" Satan sittin' on his throne, heard my footsteps in the hall, Dropped his goblet, lost his smile, heard his soldiers start to call. "That's the bastard death keeps missin', that's the one who won't stay down! That's the man who walks through nightmares like he's walkin' through his town!" I said, "Lucifer, you nervous? What the fuck you shakin' for? You been screamin' that you're powerful, now you're hidin' by the door?" He said, "You don't understand the kind of evil that I bring." I said, "I've seen worse in human hearts than anything beneath your wings." Now the shadows start retreatin', all the torches flicker black, Every demon in the chamber takes a hundred footsteps back. Ain't because I'm made of darkness, ain't because I sold my soul, It's because I faced my monsters and refused to let 'em take control. I ain't claimin' I'm immortal, I know everybody dies, But the day my number's called, I'll look death straight in the eyes. No begging, no surrender, no pretending I ain't scarred, Just a grin upon my face sayin', "Motherfucker, you fought hard." [Bridge – Whispered, Heartbeat Slowing] Tick... tick... tick... Death said, "One day, you're coming with me." I said, "Maybe." "But not because you scared me." (Pause) Heaven knows where my faith is. Hell knows what I've survived. And death knows my fuckin' name... 'Cause I've made him memorize it every time. [Final Chorus – Explosive, Double-Time] I DON'T FEAR DEATH! Let that black-robed bastard ride! He's been standin' at my doorstep, But he ain't got me inside! I DON'T FEAR HELL! Let the demons scream my name! I'll walk into the fire, Make the devil fear his flames! I'M DAVID TO YOUR GOLIATH! I'M THE STONE YOU NEVER SAW! I'M THE MAN WHO FACED THE REAPER AND JUST LAUGHED AT WHAT HE BROUGHT! [Outro – Low, Distorted Whisper] Three knocks at the door... One for the past. One for the present. One for the end. (Heavy breathing) I opened it... Nobody there. Just a note on the floor. "I'll come back when you're ready." (Laughs) Better bring some fuckin' backup. [END – Sudden Silence]
