Danger and Dread

Come on baby let me take your troubles away Some mean old mama's got your head all in a horrible way Still for all your crying and all your pain You're just the sweetest little woman that I've seen in my day So come on pretty mama let me take your troubles away I've heard you wake up crying from the evils lying under our bed You say there's no use trying to protect you from the danger and dread Though this world is made of fearsome beasts that bark and bite We were born to put these creatures through one hell of a fight May we feast upon the flesh of any fever that befalls you tonight Soon her sides will split wide open We shall feast when darkness falls Sing until our jaws are broken Heed the blackened water's call Lay down your burdens don't you let them drag you into the ground I know you're hurting but there's plenty of your pain to go around Lord knows that everybody's got a cross to bear And I see no use in trying to contrast and compare There's always someone being slaughtered By a bigger stack of splinters somewhere If a day should break in anger Patience weak and temper strong Put our able hands to labor We will work through what went wrong If a day should break in anger Patience weak and temper strong Put our able hands to labor We will work through what went wrong La da da, da da da-da da-da-da La da da, da da da, da da da La da da, da da da da-da-da La da da, la da da da da
