The Fear Litany
This song was co-written by Sean Lennon and Yoko Ono as a collaboration with Yoko Ono/Plastic Ono Band. The lyrics are derived from the "litany against fear" incantation from Frank Hurlbert's Dune.
I must not fear
Fear is the mind-killer
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration
I will face my fear
I will permit it to pass over me and through me, through me
And when it has gone I will turn the inner eye to see its path
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing, nothing
Only I will remain
Fear is the mind-killer
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration
I will permit it to pass over me and through me, through me
And when it has gone I will turn the inner eye to see its path
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing, nothing
Only I will remain
