See the man with the military mind
Tryin' to make us all afraid all the time
Tryin' to make us all stay inside and lock our doors and windows
See the man's got too much to count
Tryin' to recollect the Sermon on the Mount
Blessed are the poor when they're all swinging from the gallows
Pre-Chorus
But I ain't afraid no more, I ain't afraid no more
I ain't afraid no more, no I ain't afraid
'Cause however long the night, the dawn will break again
We'll be around when you have lost your oldest friends
There's nothin' you can say or do to us to drown out this amen
'Cause however long the night, the dawn will break again
See the poet with nothin' left to say
Starin' down at blank pages all day
Let the alcohol take you away and sleep the way fools do
See the beast with the gasoline hand
Breathin' fire, drawin' lines in the sand
Pray we find ourselves a better plan and die the way we used to
Pre-Chorus
But I ain't afraid no more, I ain't afraid no more
I ain't afraid no more, no I ain't afraid
However long the night, the dawn will break again
We'll be around when they have found your next of kin
There's nothin' you can say or do to us to drown out this amen
'Cause however long the night, the dawn will break again
See the woman with the roses in her hair
Bringin' lovin' when it's too much to bear
Tell me I can make a difference this time
All I gotta do is make it all rhyme
However long the night, the dawn will break again
We'll be around when they have found your next of kin
There's nothin' you can say or do to us to drown out this amen
'Cause however long the night, the dawn will break again
Will break again
