Ballad of the Butcher
This is the ballad of the butcher
Please stop me before I kill again
All that bloodshed and snapped necks
Roll around inside of my head
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
These paths crossed for a reason
A reason above my head and unluckily for them
I'm a monster
Tied up in the truck bed
I wonder if they wonder
How they had no idea what I really wanted
The man who smiled
A man of surrender
Could be the same one that is putting them under
I hate it
What my mind and body craves
Why was I made this way?
John the butcher
Watches you when you move
John the butcher
Waits for you in your room
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
John the butcher
Watches you when you move
John the butcher
Waits for you in your room
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
Spreads without my consent
The evil that lives within me
A landlord of sadistic intent
It's not my fault
Please stop me before I kill again
All that bloodshed and snapped necks
Roll around inside of my head
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
These paths crossed for a reason
A reason above my head and unluckily for them
I'm a monster
Tied up in the truck bed
I wonder if they wonder
How they had no idea what I really wanted
The man who smiled
A man of surrender
Could be the same one that is putting them under
I hate it
What my mind and body craves
Why was I made this way?
John the butcher
Watches you when you move
John the butcher
Waits for you in your room
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
John the butcher
Watches you when you move
John the butcher
Waits for you in your room
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
Spreads without my consent
The evil that lives within me
A landlord of sadistic intent
It's not my fault
