Counting Bodies Like Sheep to the Rhythm of the War Drums Songtext
von A Perfect Circle

Don′t fret precious, I'm here
Step away from the window
Go back to sleep
Safe from pain and truth and choice
And other poison devils
See, they don′t give a fuck about you
Like I do

Counting bodies like sheep
Counting bodies like sheep

Counting bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums
Counting bodies like sheep


Go back to sleep
Go back to sleep
Counting bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums
Go back to sleep
Go back to sleep
Counting bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums
Go back to sleep
Go back to sleep
Counting bodies like sheep
Go back to sleep

(Go to sleep...)
Go to sleep
Go to sleep
Go to sleep
Go to sleep
Go to sleep
Go to sleep
Go to sleep
Go to sleep
Go to sleep


Go back to sleep
Go back to sleep
Go back to sleep
Counting bodies like sheep
Go back to sleep
Go back to sleep
Counting bodies like sheep
Go back to sleep
Go back to sleep
Counting bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums
Go back to sleep
Go back to sleep
Counting bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums
Go back to sleep
Go back to sleep
Counting bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums
Go back to sleep

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
