He's the man of the hour
The man with the power
With his pockets filled of gold
He will be able
To fill his table
With knights, both fierce and bold
Don't speak of the devil
He's closer than you think
Soon you'll be having his drink
He'll offer you his chalice
In return he wants malice
For those who appose his plan
In a world of fear
Where he's the engineer
In the shades of grey
He awaits his day
Let the sleeping dogs lie
Don't you rattle that cage
Let the sleeping dogs lie
Don't you rattle that cage
Let the sleeping dogs lie
He's ready and willing
He's in for the killing
To do whatever he please
For better and worse
He's the poisonous curse
That got us to our knees
He bought our silence
And crushed defience
With our eyes wide shut
From the heat of his flame
We're playing his game
Our futures set to rot
In this world of fear
Where he's the engineer
In the shades of grey
He awaits his day
Let the sleeping dogs lie
Don't you rattle that cage
Let the sleeping dogs lie
Don't you rattle that cage
Let the sleeping dogs lie
Don't be a fire starter
Let's try a little harder
There's a fire within us all
Don't speak of the devil
Alone in the night
He might hear your call
He's ready and willing
He's in for the killing
To do whatever he please
For better and worse
He's the poisonous curse
That got us to our knees
In this world of fear
Where he's the engineer
In the shades of grey
He awaits his day
Let the sleeping dogs lie
Don't you rattle that cage
Let the sleeping dogs lie
Don't you rattle that cage
Let the sleeping dogs lie
Let the sleeping dogs lie
Let the sleeping dogs lie
