Don't fret precious I'm here,
Step away from the window
Go back to sleep
Safe from pain and truth and choice
And other poison devils
See, they don't give a fuck about you,
Like I do
Count the bodies like sheep (like sheep)
Count the bodies like sheep (like sheep)
Counting bodies like sheep
To the rhythm of the war drums
Count the bodies like sheep (like sheep)
Go back to sleep
Go back to sleep
Counting bodies like sheep
To the rhythm of the war drums
Go back to sleep
Go back to sleep
Counting bodies like sheep
To the rhythm of the war drums
Go back to sleep
Go back to sleep
Counting bodies like sheep
Go back to sleep
Go to sleep
Go back to sleep
Go back to sleep
Go back to sleep
Counting bodies like sheep
Go back to sleep
Go back to sleep
Counting bodies like sheep
Go back to sleep
Go back to sleep
Counting bodies like sheep
To the rhythm of the war drums
Go back to sleep
Go back to sleep
Counting bodies like sheep
To the rhythm of the war drums
Go back to sleep
Go back to sleep
Counting bodies like sheep
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
One in the same,
I must isolate you
Isolate and save you from yourself
