I had jade colored eyes
That shimmered in the sun
If you stared at them too long

You'd catch a glimpse of what I'd done
The faces of the damned
And all the butchered lambs

If I had to do it over
I just would've done it slower


When we meet you will see
I will destroy everything of beauty
When we meet then you'll know

I'll be the axe that clears the forest

When I had my fill and tasted every kill

There was nothin' left to do
But bow out of this world
I heard tell of a place

Where the dead walk tall and proud
Where men like me were needed
To thin the growing crowd

Deep below the dunes I roved
Past the rows past the rows
Beside the acacias freshly in bloom

I send men to their doom

I spent those days runnin' hard and fast

With no place to lay my head
The sound of the rain against the roof
Was loud enough to wake the dead

And my legs were tired and my feet were cold
But all I could do was get back on the road


So I came upon a shanty town
Full of bitter men
Where carved into a crude wood sign

It read 'welcome to the end'
For a dollar you could buy a girl
Of every possible design

But you couldn't find one decent man
Or a word spoken kind
Whiskey was for supper

A man couldn't ask for better!

When we meet you willl see

I will destroy everything of beauty
When we meet then you'll know
I'll be the axe that clears the forest


I spent those days huntin' hard and fast
With no place to lay my head

And the sound of the rain against the roof
Was loud enough to wake the dead
And my legs were tired and my feet were cold

But all I could do was get back on the road

We were left alone left alone

Every king on his lonely throne
We were left alone left alone
Every king on his lonely throne
