46. I warn you

Why are you tormenting me, doubt?
I warn you once and for all,
I shall throw you into the lion-mouth
    Of faith.

Why are you tormenting me, fear?
I warn you once and for all,
I shall throw you into the giant-heart
    Of courage.

Why are you tormenting me, insecurity?
I warn you once and for all,
I shall throw you into the goal-height
    Of oneness.
