lyrics

MY DADDY WAS A BUTCHER

My daddy was a butcher
Where the mist rolled over the cobblestone
My daddy was a butcher
And his blades split flesh to wake the bone

In full moon blue his dual cleavers shine
Then he walked in darkness with slaughter on his mind

My daddy was shadow
And he made the devil light his pipe
And even on his gravestone
His name still bleeds, his laughter ripe

In full moon blue his dual cleavers shine
Then he walked in darkness with evil on his mind

My daddy is a butcher
When the fog rolls over the kirkyard stone
My daddy is a butcher
And his blades split flesh to wake the bone
