Executioner's Tax (Swing of the Axe)

Go on and look at you, today is your lucky day The executioner's here and he's ready to make you pay You prayed for so long and now you have your chance The executioner is here and he's sharpening his axe Swing of the axe Swing of the axe Cry all you want, but the blade soars today Swing of the axe Swing of the axe To buy in for the privilege To know what lies beyond Death hides behind veiled faces It only takes one swing and you're gone The executioner, the beginning and the end He carries cold hard steel masked with the taste of medicine Blessed with a reaper's touch, his might cannot be matched It's time to pay the man, the executioner's tax Swing of the axe Swing at the world Swing of the axe Swing of the axe Even a killer has to get paid Swing of the axe Swing of the axe Swing of the axe
