Weeping Lyrics - Singles - Brandon October

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 shadow 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 remain. 

It doesn't matter now it's over anyhow 

He 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 neighbors came 

They were curious to know about the smoke and flame 

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 

He 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. 

Say ah, say ah, say ah 

Say ah, say ah, say ah 

[Ladysmith's solo] 

It doesn't matter now it's over anyhow 

It doesn't matter now it's over anyhow 

It doesn't matter now it's over anyhow 

He 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. 

Say ah, say ah, say ah 

Say ah, say ah, say ah [to end]
