Weeping

I knew a man
Who lived in fear
It was huge it was angry it was drawing near
Behind his house
A secret place
Was the shadows of the demon he could never face

He built a wall
Of steel and flame
And men with guns
To keep it tame
Then standing back
He made it plain
That the nightmare would never ever rise again
But the fear and the fire and the guns remained

It doesn't matter now
It's over any how
It tells the world that it's sleeping
But as the night came round
I heard it slowly sound
It wasn't roaring it was weeping
It wasn't roaring it was weeping

And then one day
The neighbours came
They were curious to know about the smoke and flames
They stood around
Outside the wall
But of course there was nothing to be heard at all
My friends, he said
We've reached our goal
The threat is under firm control
As long as peace and order reign
I'll be damned if I can see a reason to explain
Why the fear and the fire and the guns remain

It doesn't matter now
It's over anyhow
It tells the world that it's sleeping
But as the night came round
I heard it slowly sound
It wasn't roaring it was weeping
It wasn't roaring it was weeping

Siyaya siyaya siyaya
Siyaya siyaya siyaya
Siyaya siyaya siyaya

It doesn't matter now
It's over any how
It tells the world that it's sleeping
But as the night came round
I heard it slowly sound
It wasn't roaring it was weeping
It wasn't roaring it was weeping

It doesn't matter now
It's over anyhow
It tells the world that it's sleeping
But as the night came round
I heard it slowly sound
It wasn't roaring it was weeping
It wasn't roaring it was weeping

It wasn't roaring it was weeping
It wasn't roaring it was weeping
It wasn't roaring it was weeping
It wasn't roaring it was weeping
