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
Count the bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums

The boogeymen are coming
The boogeymen are coming
Keep your head down, go to sleep, to the rhythm of a war drums

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