Ballad of the Butcher

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

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)
