Grit Tastes Better Than Fear (Alt 1)

Fear don’t feed me, fear don’t stay… I chew on grit to keep it away.

I’ve swallowed dust and I’ve swallowed pain, Walked through fire, through blood, through rain. Fear’s a shadow that fades in the sun, But grit’s the steel that makes me run.

Grit tastes better than fear, That’s why I’m still standing here. The coward breaks, the brave don’t steer, ’Cause grit tastes better than fear.

I’ve seen men beg with shaking hands, The ground took ’em quick like shifting sand. But I bit down hard, I took the pain, Danger carved me, it knows my name.

Grit tastes better than fear, Blood in my mouth, dust in my ear. The earth don’t care, but I won’t disappear, ’Cause grit tastes better than fear.

I don’t bow, I don’t bend, Fear don’t break what won’t end. Spit in the dark, bite through the chain, Grit’s my gospel, carved in flame.

Grit tastes better than fear, That’s the law I hold near. No grave will claim, no devil hear, ’Cause grit tastes better than fear.
