The lyrics of "Fear No Evil" by the Grim Reaper address the theme of fear and the way it can affect someone's life. The song begins by warning that when lightning strikes, fear can strike too and it may come at any time. Fear is personified as an entity that preys on people's darkest fears, which can shape their actions, making them feel insecure and helpless. Even if one thinks they are safe and protected, fear can still find them.
The chorus offers a solution to this problem. The singer invites the listener to take his hand and follow his command, promising that under his guidance they will "fear no evil". The lyrics imply that the only way to overcome fear is to face it with courage, guided by someone who has the power to quell it.
Overall, the song presents a view of fear as an enemy that can infiltrate someone's life at any time and cause destruction. However, it also offers a message of hope through the idea that fear can be overcome by following a strong leader with faith and confidence.
