Fear

Had you spared me the hell of watching the whole town turn against me!

Even my friend the schoolmaster

I might've taken the gun for all your sakes

Instead, I stayed in my room

I bolted the door

And I dealt with my fear alone

The moment I knew what this visit was for

I shuddered with fear, I trembled with fear

But I conquered my fear alone

Now it's you who would judge me

And whatever your verdict

I will not complain or resist

What you decide when you judge me

That will be justice

I accept it as justice

But I insist

There must be a trial

I can't spare you the trial

And after the trial is through

For me it will be justice

God knows what it will be for you
