A poem more up-to-date than ever
11 mars 2002, 22:33  |   ARTIKLAR  

Do not fear. I will be there to hold you to it.

(Written 15th of september 2001)


The vow has been made to root out terrorism.

The vow has come to root out those who harbour.

It is to be done by force.

It is to be done by arms.

If you unite in that cry of war.

If you unite on that path of force.

If you unite behind that holy vow.

Do not fear, I will be thereÖto hold you to it.


For then is the time for true resolve.

For then is the time for strength of will.

For then is the time to test your vow

Do not fear, I will be thereÖto hold you to it.


You will kill the terrorists with surgical skill.

Not harming others while you kill

And yet you are not done still.

Do not fear, I will be thereÖto hold you to it.


The torch has been lit, the hate enflamed.

The terrorists have familys who will act the same

And you all know what must be done.

Do not fear, I will be thereÖto hold you to it.


So you kill their familys with surgical skill.

Not harming others while you kill

And yet you are not done still.

Do not fear, I will be thereÖto hold you to it.


The torch has been lit, the hate enflamed.

The terrorists have friends who will act the same

And you all know what must be done.

Do not fear, I will be thereÖto hold you to it.


So you kill their friends with surgical skill.

Not harming others while you kill

And yet you are not done still.

Do not fear, I will be thereÖto hold you to it.


The torch has been lit, the hate enflamed.

Now is the time for those who harbour and aid.

And you all know what must be done.

Do not fear, I will be thereÖto hold you to it.


So one more round with surgical skill.

Not harming others while you kill

And yet you are not done still.

Do not fear, I will be thereÖto hold you to it.


There will be those who counter you

Since they opposed they are their friends to

And you all know what you must do.

Do not fear, I will be thereÖto hold you to it.


So you finish it all with surgical skill

Not harming others while you kill

And yet you are not done still.

Do not fear, I will be thereÖto hold you to it.


Now is the time for true resolve.

Now is the time for strength of will.

Now is the time to test your vow

Do not fear, I will be thereÖto hold you to it.


Now turn your gaze and look within

What has now become your deadly sin

And you all know what you must do

For by then, you will be terrorists to


So use your arms with surgical skill

Your friends and viwes and offspring kill

And all who aided and harboured you still

Do not fear, I will be thereÖto hold you to it.


And if i am there when you are gone

I will know what must be done

The scarce few that did nothing do

I realise are all now terrorists to


Do not fear. I will be thereÖto hold you to it.
