Ballad of the Butcher Lyrics

THIS. IS.
The ballad of the butcher.
All the bloodshed and snapped necks roll around inside my head.
eahh
The evil that lives within me it spreads without my consent,
A landlord of Sadistic intent
Every day I hunt for the next one
for the perfect picture that I can hang on my wall.eehhhhhuh
ueehhhwwoeooo
These paths cross for a reason, no reason above my head
And walk away from them, I'm a monster.
Tied up in a truck bed, I wonder if they wonder if they had no idea about what I really wanted. The man who smiles, a man of surrender, could easily be the one who is putting them under.
I hate it, what my body and mind crave.
Why was I made this way?
John the butcher
watches you, when you're home.
John the butcher
Waits for you in your home.I'll cut you loose so I can hunt you.

run you down, and then I'll catch you
LAUGH IN THE NIGHT AS YOU FALL TO YOUR KNEES.
exploit all your hopes, dreams and memories
Ohh
I'll cut you loose so I can hunt you.
Ohh
run you down, and then I'll catch you
OhhLAUGH IN THE NIGHT AS YOU FALL TO YOUR KNEES.
Ohh
exploit all your hopes, dreams and memories
John the butcher
watches you, when you're home.
John the butcher
Waits for you in your home.
...
I can't let you go now, you've seen my other side.
I AM JOHN THE BUTCHER, THIS IS...
GOODBYE.
...
The evil that lives within me, it spreads without my consent.
A landlord of Sadistic intent
...
It's not my fault (fade)
