Ozzy Osbourne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The dead won't see the ending,
War started by rich men
Won't stop the poor from dying
I'll grant you, your death wish,
It's not just time I'm killing,
Blood's thicker than water,
This will be your last stand,
I wash the blood from my hands
I am warrior,
I'm fearless
No pain,
No mercy,
No weakness,
I, I, I'm fearless
I answer no questions,
You will obey my order,
I'll punish all sinners,
This battle has no borders
No saving salvation,
Your soul is stained and rusted,
I follow no leader,
My vigilante justice
I'd rather die on my feet
Than live a life on my knees
I am warrior,
I'm fearless
No pain,
No mercy,
No weakness,
I, I, I'm fearless
My skin and bones drip off of me,
I'm more than man, more than machine
This will be your last stand,
I wash the blood from my hands
I am warrior,
I'm fearless
No pain,
No mercy,
No weakness,
I, I
I am warrior,
I'm fearless
No pain,
No mercy,
No weakness,
I, I, I'm fearless
The lyrics to Ozzy Osbourne's song Fearless depict a powerful and defiant mindset of a warrior who has accepted the inevitability of war and the betrayal of its leaders. The chorus of the song, "I am warrior, I'm fearless, No pain, No mercy, No weakness, I, I, I'm fearless," establishes the theme of strength and bravery in the face of adversity. The opening lines, "No prayers left for heroes, The dead won't see the ending," suggest a sense of hopelessness and resignation that comes from having witnessed too many wars.
The lyrics go on to criticize the wealthy who initiate wars but do not suffer its consequences, "War started by rich men Won't stop the poor from dying." The singer seems to have lost faith in all forms of authority, declaring "I follow no leader, My vigilante justice." There is a sense that the warrior has made a conscious choice to reject the conventional notion of heroism and instead embrace a more solitary and perhaps vengeful approach.
The song is a testament to the human spirit's resilience in the face of adversity, even in the bleakest of circumstances. It is a call to reject the notion that we are helpless in the face of conflict and instead to take control of our lives and to stand up for what we believe in. The song's message is clear: fear is the mind-killer, and the only way to overcome it is to be fearless.
