## These are the lyrics to _Pet_ , the track is off thier new album Thirteenth Step. I think this song heavily relates to modern day America and its war on terrorism, the symbolism is great. A well written song. Don’t fret precious I’m here Step away from the window And 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 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 \*\*\*\* 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 and the same I must isolate you Isolate and save you from yourself Swayin’ to the rhythm of the new world order Count the bodies like sheep To the rhythm of the war drum The boogeymen cometh The boogeymen cometh Keep your head down Go to sleep To the rhythm of the war drums Stay with me Safe and ignorant Just stay with me I’ll hold you and protect you from the other ones The evil ones Don’t love you son Go back to sleep tell me what you think!
