From all the outside madness comes a mothers tear We build a happy fortress we think we're safe in here Knock down all the churches they only feed our fear Batten down the hatches, until our road is clear
Our TV tells us stories not for bedtime ears, Exchange our blood for power 'let's stretch this out for years' Knock out all the preachers they only feed our fear Batten down the hatches, until our road is clear
Batten down the hatches until the road is clear Batten down the hatches until the road is clear Batten down the hatches until the road is clear until the road is clear Until our road is clear
Lets stretch this out for years .. Lets stretch this out for years
When our world is quieter there comes a grateful song Keep our lives protected their 'rite' is our wrong Knock down all the curses they only feed our fears Batten down the hatches, until our road is clear
Batten down the hatches until the road is clear Batten down the hatches until the road is clear Batten down the hatches until the road is clear.
