Invulnerable

You must tear down those walls, the battlements and ramparts that surround your heart That fortress, that was built with the blood, sweat and tears of your fear That safe place, a haven for a frightened man to hide, perchance to end, a bitter shadow Bitter, is a cloak that slips on easy, but chokes the spirit and kills the soul Better, then to live naked, vulnerable in the light of day, than be safe and dead Fear, now's a heart cloaked to the world, solitary in it's confinement Courage, then's to mind a heart that's ready to see the light and if it's to be, pierced Down then, with those damned walls, cast off that rancid cloak and walk out into the light
