With Ladysmith Black Mambazo and Vusi Mahlasela

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 neighbours 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]
