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 drum

the boogeymen are coming
the boogeymen are coming

keep your head down, go to sleep, to the rhythm of a war drum

stay with me
safe and ignorant
just stay with me
hold you and protect you from the other one
the evil ones
don't love you son,
go back to sleep

Possibly my favorite song on the album. Great, hard-hitting guitar riff. Interesting lyrics and beautiful vocals. Everything about this song is great.

Also quite possibly my favorite too. It's one of the more heavy songs on the cd and as always the vocals are great. The melody of this song will play repeatedly in your head. Even if it lacks a greater meaning to myself, it's a great song to listen to.

Three-way tied for best song on the CD. The brutal lyrics and heavy guitar-riff backing makes this song. Though, the only song I can't relate to on the CD, it doesn't take way from the sheer briliance.

Possessive parents? What, did your dad fuck you in the cornhole or something? Fucking stupid kids, always blaming their parents. It's about the government, you fuck nut. Please, don't breed.

I fucking love this song, Maynard can keep writing the best lyrics, and not have to sound like every other band writing about the same sorta stuff. His voice is amazing.

This has to be one of the best APC songs I've ever heard. Maynard is God though so of course it was awsome. I love the mix between the low eerie sound and then having the heavy parts mixed in.

This is honestly one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. The lyrics are intense, almost frightening, and when coupled with Maynard's vocals, is both beautiful and haunting. Definently one of APC's best songs.

the remix, eh... i could go without out, but at the same time, it's apprioate for the relation that it tries to get across to the listener... as for the video, i can see the correlation, but at the same time, it would have been cool to see maynard go a different route with the song... oops, got a little off subject and away from what i orginally wanted to say... great song and sometimes it's best to leave well enough alone...

i like both versions of this song the OG (THIS ONE) and the remix (off the new cd) the remix is "darker" than this version but it isn't as bad it is good....but don't forget emotive is a bunch of Anti-war/ anti-hate songs that APC likes so i guess it is okay for them to put a remake of one of thier own songs in
