Reworked the vocals a bit (quite a bit). And yet again! And now, Gumbo Stu is singing backup bits. Thanks for the vocals Gumbo, a very welcome addition!
And, as requested, here are the lyrics:
I’m Not Afraid
You can blow me up
You can shoot me down
You can try and talk me up with the truths that you have found
Shut me out
Invite me in
You can tell me all about the consequences of my sin
Call me evil
Call me unclean
Tell me that my morals just aren’t what they should have been
Call me I’m a sinner
In the mire I will wade
But I’ll tell you right now,
I’m not afraid.
You can scream about my morals
Can complain about my sin
You can open up your doors and say that you will take me in
You can mock me, you can laugh
You can point and call me names
If you’ll only leave me out of playing any of your games
You can say that I’m a bad man
Cos I don’t believe like you
You can shun me and ignore me and forget about me too
Call me I’m a sinner
In the mire I will wade
But I’ll tell you right now,
I’m not afraid.
You revel in your superiority
You know that you are so much better than me
You look right down your nose when it’s me you see
But I can tell you now,
I’m not afraid.
You can tell me that you’re only
trying to save my soul
You can tell me that you only want to fill up some big hole
You can tell me that some demons
gonna drag me straight to hell
You can tell me you can show me how you can make me well
You can say I’ll be abandoned
by the powers that you praise
You can say I’ll will be burning till the end of all days
Call me I’m a sinner
In the mire I will wade
But I’ll tell you right now,
I’m not afraid.

Singer is the weak link. 12 string Guitar is good. Best song I have heard yet, However still needs depth. No lead Guitar, Can't hear the bass. Could have been a mixing problem. Singer is too loud compaired to the rest of the band. I have been a lead guitarest for over 30 year and it adds depth.
