(Feat. Ladysmith Black Mambazo)
2
I knew a man who lived in fear
3
It was huge, it was angry,
4
It was drawing near.
5
Behind his house a secret place
6
Was the shadow of the demon
7
He could never face.
8
He built a wall of steel and flame
9
And men with guns to keep it tame
10
Then standing back he made it plain
11
That the nightmare would never ever rise again
12
But the fear and the fire and the guns remain.
13
It doesn't matter now it's over anyhow
14
He tells the world that it's sleeping
15
But as the night came round I heard
16
It's lonely sound
17
It wasn't roaring, it was weeping
18
It wasn't roaring, it was weeping.
19
And then one day the neighbors came
20
They were curious to know about the smoke and flame
21
They stood around outside the wall
22
But of course there was nothing to be heard at all
23
"My friends," he said, "We've reached our goal
24
The threat is under firm control
25
As long as peace and order reign
26
I'll be damned if I can see a reason to explain
27
Why the fear and the fire and the guns remain. "
28
It doesn't matter now it's over anyhow
29
He tells the world that it's sleeping
30
But as the night came round I heard
31
It's lonely sound
32
It wasn't roaring, it was weeping
33
It wasn't roaring, it was weeping.
34
Say ah, say ah, say ah
35
Say ah, say ah, say ah
36
[Ladysmith's solo]
37
It doesn't matter now it's over anyhow
38
It doesn't matter now it's over anyhow
39
It doesn't matter now it's over anyhow
40
He tells the world that it's sleeping
41
But as the night came round I heard
42
It's lonely sound
43
It wasn't roaring, it was weeping
44
It wasn't roaring, it was weeping.
45
Say ah, say ah, say ah
46
Say ah, say ah, say ah [to end]
