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 SongtexteI 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 (Thanks to Megan for these lyrics) Aus Songtexte Mania
