counting bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums

Don't fret precious I'm here, step away from the window
Go back to sleep

Lay your head down child
I won't let the boogeyman come

Counting bodies like sheep
To the rhythm of the war drums

Pay no mind to the rabble
Pay no mind to the rabble

Head down, go to sleep
To the rhythm of the war drums

Pay no mind what other voices say
They don't care about you,
like I do,
like I do
Safe from pain
and truth
and choice
and other poison devils,
See, they don't give a fuck about you
like I do.

Just stay with me, safe and ignorant,
Go back to sleep
Go back to sleep....

Lay your head down child
I won't let the boogeyman come
Count the bodies like sheep
To the rhythm of the war drums

Pay no mind to the rabble
Pay no mind to the rabble

Head down, go to sleep to the rhythm of the war drums

I'll be the one to protect you from
Your enemies and all your demons
I'll be the one to protect you from
A will to survive and a voice of reason
I'll be the one to protect you from
Your enemies and your choices, son
They're one in the same
I must isolate you
Isolate and save you from yourself

Swayin' to the rhythm of the new world order and
Countin' bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums

The boogeymen are comin'
The boogeymen are comin'

Keep your head down go to sleep to the rhythm of a war drum

Stay with me
Safe and ignorant
Just stay with me
Hold you and protect you from the other one
The evil ones
Don't love you son,
Go back to sleep
Go back to sleep....
