[00:16.33]
[00:18.33]I knew a man who lived in fear
[00:23.45]It was huge, it was angry,
[00:26.73]It was drawing near.
[00:30.02]Behind his house a secret place
[00:35.34]Was the shadow of the demon
[00:38.69]He could never face.
[00:41.75]
[00:42.13]He built a wall of steel and flame
[00:48.07]And men with guns to keep it tame
[00:54.01]Then standing back he made it plain
[00:59.29]That the nightmare would never ever rise again
[01:06.01]But the fear and the fire and the guns remain.
[01:12.42]
[01:12.86]It doesn't matter now it's over anyhow
[01:18.80]He tells the world that it's sleeping
[01:24.82]But as the night came round I heard
[01:28.63]It slowly sound
[01:30.82]It wasn't roaring, it was weeping
[01:36.94]It wasn't roaring, it was weeping.
[01:42.62]
[01:43.69]And then one day the neighbours came
[01:48.81]They were curious to know about the smoke and flame
[01:55.63]They stood around outside the wall
[02:00.77]But of course there was nothing to be heard at all
[02:07.57]"My friends," he said, "We've reached our goal
[02:13.61]The threat is under firm control
[02:19.52]As long as peace and order reign
[02:24.86]I'll be damned if I can see a reason to explain
[02:31.48]Why the fear and the fire and the guns remain."
[02:38.04]
[02:38.47]It doesn't matter now it's over anyhow
[02:44.31]He tells the world that it's sleeping
[02:50.07]But as the night came round I heard
[02:54.07]It slowly sound
[02:56.37]It wasn't roaring, it was weeping
[03:02.50]It wasn't roaring, it was weeping.
[03:07.12]Say ah, say ah, say ah
[03:13.15]Say ah, say ah, say ah
[03:20.75]

[03:31.43]It doesn't matter now it's over anyhow
[03:37.52]It doesn't matter now it's over anyhow
[03:42.94]
[03:44.50]It doesn't matter now it's over anyhow
[03:50.28]He tells the world that it's sleeping
[03:56.31]But as the night came round I heard
[04:00.03]It slowly sound
[04:02.31]It wasn't roaring, it was weeping
[04:08.31]It wasn't roaring, it was weeping.
[04:13.38]Say ah, say ah, say ah
[04:19.16]Say ah, say ah, say ah (to end)
