Music like this would go really well with the Jodorowsky Dune movie. The one with Dali as the Emperor of the Universe that uses dolphins as toilets.

Flaming Lips with Yoko Plastic Ono Band “The Fear Litany”

The title and lyrics are taken from a “litany” in Frank Herbert’s 1965 science fiction novel Dune. Typically referred to as “The Litany Against Fear,” the character Ben Gesserit affirms in the book:

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.

The book and the rest of the Dune Universe - including David Lynch’s 1984 movie Dune, various video games, a 2000 mini-series and other media - have a rabid cult following. For the uninitiated, read this quote guide to get an impression of why its fans recite the characters’ dialogue like other people do Bible verses…
