[Verse 1]

Don't fret, precious, I'm here

Step away from the window (Step away from the window)

Go back to sleep


[Chorus]

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


[Verse 2]

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


[Pre-Chorus]

Just stay with me, safe and ignorant

Go back to sleep, go back to sleep


[Chorus]

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


[Bridge]

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 and the same, I must isolate you

Isolate and save you from yourself


[Chorus]

Swaying to the rhythm of the new world order and

Counting 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 the war drums


[Outro]

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
