1
I knew a man who lived in fear
2
It was huge, it was angry,
3
It was drawing near.
4
Behind his house a secret place
5
Was the shadow of the demon
6
He could never face.
7
He built a wall of steel and flame
8
And men with guns to keep it tame
9
Then standing back he made it plain
10
That the nightmare would never ever rise again
11
But the fear and the fire and the guns remain.
12
It doesn't matter now it's over anyhow
13
He tells the world that it's sleeping
14
But as the night came round i heard
15
It slowly sound
16
It wasn't roaring, it was weeping
17
It wasn't roaring, it was weeping.
18
And then one day the neighbors came
19
They were curious to know about the smoke and flame
20
They stood around outside the wall
21
But of course there was nothing to be heard at all
22
"my friends," he said, "we've reached our goal
23
The threat is under firm control
24
As long as peace and order reign
25
I'll be damned if i can see a reason to explain
26
Why the fear and the fire and the guns remain."
27
It doesn't matter now it's over anyhow
28
He tells the world that it's sleeping
29
But as the night came round i heard
30
It slowly sound
31
It wasn't roaring, it was weeping
32
It wasn't roaring, it was weeping.
33
Say ah, say ah, say ah
34
Say ah, say ah, say ah
35
[ladysmith's solo]
36
It doesn't matter now it's over anyhow
37
It doesn't matter now it's over anyhow
38
It doesn't matter now it's over anyhow
39
He tells the world that it's sleeping
40
But as the night came round i heard
41
It slowly sound
42
It wasn't roaring, it was weeping
43
It wasn't roaring, it was weeping.
44
Say ah, say ah, say ah
45
Say ah, say ah, say ah [to end]
