The Axe Shall Fall Lyrics by DevilDriver

The Last Kind Words

2007

[Verse 1]
This abomination
Won't see the end of days
Sit, throne of lies, torn
By voice up high
Death was only a dream
Not devastating disaster
The rites of passage
The past that we can't alter

[Verse 2]
Fuck you, you...
And the horse that you rode in on
Just sit there
And be silent as the grave
You've come out this time
Smelling just like roses
I sit there, watch, while I drink my wine

[Pre-Chorus]
The weight of your sins
And the evil beneath us
Will surely drag you down

[Chorus]
The axe shall fall
On the one-winged angel
Breaking the spell
Would you break this fall?
For he who sins against his kind
The axe shall fall

[Post-Chorus]
All right... All right!

[Verse 3]
With a hollow heart
And hollow eyes
A cry from the cross
Serpents in disguise
Hearts of distrust
Is what we despise
I sit there, watch, while I drink my wine

[Pre-Chorus]
The weight of your sins
And the evil beneath us
Will surely drag you down

[Chorus]
The axe shall fall
On the one-winged angel
Breaking the spell
Would you break this fall?
For he who sins against his kind
The axe shall fall

[Post-Chorus]
All right...
All right!

[Outro]
The axe shall fall
On the one-winged angel... tonight
Tonight... tonight
Tonight
