I knew a man who lived in fear, it was huge, it was angry, it was drawing near.
Behind his house, a secret place, was the shadow of a demon he could never face.
He built a wall of steel and flame, and a man with guns to keep it tamed.
And standing back, he made it plain, that the nightmare would never ever rise again.
But the fear and the fire and the guns demanded.
It doesn't matter now, it's over anyhow, he tells the world that he's sleeping.
But as the night came round, I heard his lonely sound.
It wasn't roaring, it was weeping.
It wasn't roaring, it was weeping.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
the neighbors came they were curious to know about the smoke and flame they stood around outside the wall
but of course there was nothing to be heard at all my friend he says we've reached our goal
the threat is under fan control as long as peace and order reign i'll be damned if i can see a reason
to explain why the fear and the fire and the guns it doesn't matter it's over anyhow
it tells the world that it's sleeping but as the night came down i had this lonely sound
it wasn't roaring it was weeping it wasn't roaring it was
um
It doesn't matter, it's over anyhow It tells the world that it's sleepin'
But as the night came down, I had this lonely time
It wasn't roaring, it was weepin'
It wasn't roaring, it was weepin'
It doesn't matter, it's over anyhow
It tells the world that it's sleepin'
But as the night came down, I had this lonely time
It wasn't roaring, it was weepin'
Oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh
It wasn't roaring, it was weeping
It wasn't roaring, it was weeping
