The Axeman

from The Lone Canary by The Lone Canary

/

lyrics

The axeman awaits, as the sun finds its place
And hides away for the night
The cool summer breeze hangs itself in the trees
And slowly dies out with the light

Blow after blow the axe finds it’s home
As he drops each tree one by one
He hums a sweet tune and enters the next room
And keeps at his "holy" work

Oooooo….. Ooooo…..

He comes to the eighth: the last one that day
Strained from a job well done
Cleaning his axe, that’s bloodied with sap
He leaves with a meal not begun

Oooooo….. Ooooo…..

“Suffer the children, to come unto me”
God whispered to him in his sleep
He left next day, caught the 5:19 train
With a tale too dark to keep

Early the next day the police found the eight
Murdered in bed while they slept
A family lay dead, sheets covering their heads
And not a trace but the axe had been left
