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 demo

He could never face

He built a wall of steel and flame

And men with guns to keep it tame

And standing back he made it plain

That the nightmare would never ever rise again

But the fear and the fire and the guns remain

It doesn't matter now it's over anyhow

He tells the world that it's sleeping

But as the night came around

I heard its lonely sound

It wasn't roaring it was weeping

It wasn't roaring it was weeping

It was

And then one day

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 friends he said we've reached our goal

The threat is under firm 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 remain

It doesn't matter now it's over anyhow

He tells the world that it's sleeping

But as the night came around

I heard its lonely sound

It wasn't roaring it was weeping

It wasn't roaring it was weeping

Say ah say ah say ah

Say ah say ah say ah

Say ah say ah say ah

Say ah say ah say ah

It doesn't matter now it's over anyhow

He tells the world that it's sleeping

But as the night came around

I heard its lonely sound

It wasn't roaring it was weeping

It wasn't roaring it was weeping

It wasn't roaring it was weeping

It wasn't roaring it was weeping

It wasn't roaring it was weeping

It wasn't roaring it was weeping

It wasn't roaring it was weeping

It wasn't roaring it was weeping

It wasn't roaring it was weeping
