Mis-shapen Time, copesmate of ugly Night Swift subtle post, carrier of grisly care Eater of youth, false slave to false delight Base watch of woes, sin's pack-horse, virtue's snare Thou nursest all and murder'st all that are O, hear me then, injurious, shifting Time! Be guilty of my death, since of my crime Time's glory is to calm contending kings To unmask falsehood and bring truth to light To stamp the seal of time in aged things To wake the morn and sentinel the night To wrong the wronger till he render right To ruinate proud buildings with thy hours And smear with dust their glittering golden towers To fill with worm-holes stately monuments To feed oblivion with decay of things To blot old books and alter their contents To pluck the quills from ancient ravens' wings To dry the old oak's sap and cherish springs To spoil antiquities of hammer'd steel And turn the giddy round of Fortune's wheel 'To show the beldam daughters of her daughter To make the child a man, the man a child To slay the tiger that doth live by slaughter To tame the unicorn and lion wild To mock the subtle in themselves beguiled To cheer the ploughman with increaseful crops And waste huge stones with little water drops Why work'st thou mischief in thy pilgrimage Unless thou couldst return to make amends? One poor retiring minute in an age Would purchase thee a thousand thousand friends Lending him wit that to bad debtors lends O, this dread night, wouldst thou one hour come back I could prevent this storm and shun thy wrack! Sending the sound to the audience that gathered at Wigmore Hall Sharing what they don't want to fear anymore They don't wanna fear anymore Now fear no more, solitude, isolation and the blues Fear no more threats of nuclear war Fear no more letting go, regrettin' so, Ms Theresa be so Fear no more the tick of the clock, our great shifting fate Fear no more fury's force, tyrant's course, and men settling scores Fear no more the loss of love, the cost of lust And then fear no more the loss of trust Fear no more these mad politicians, political systems Prison and the loss of wisdom Fear no more those who are deranged Fear no more those who deny climate change Fear no more these mad men and chumps Fear no more Mr Donald Trump Fear no more cause we're all connected Fear no more the choice of Brexit [[changes to feel no more from here?]] Fear no more the loss of your strength Fear no more what feel Fear no more what you reveal Fear no more, fear no more But for now we'll have to have courage and be brave Fear no more till I'm lost in my grave Till I'm lost in my grave Till I'm lost in my grave
