Dm
I had jade colored eyes
That shimmered in the sun
If you stared at them too long
You'd catch a glimpse of what I'd done
The faces of the damned
And all the butchered lambs
If I had to do it over
I just would've done it slower
Bb Gm
When we meet you will see
Dm
I will destroy everything of beauty
Bb Gm
When we meet then you'll know
Dm
I'll be the axe that clears the forest
Dm
When I had my fill and tasted every kill
There was nothin' left to do
Bb Gm
But bow out of this world
I heard tell of a place
Where the dead walk tall and proud
Where men like me were needed
Bb Gm
To thin the growing crowd
Gm Dm
Deep below the dunes I roved
Gm Dm
Past the rows past the rows
Gm Dm
Beside the acacias freshly in bloom
Bb Gm Dm
I send men to their doom

Dm Bb/D
I spent those days runnin' hard and fast
With no place to lay my head
The sound of the rain against the roof
Was loud enough to wake the dead
And my legs were tired and my feet were cold
But all I could do was get back on the road
Dm
So I came upon a shanty town
Full of bitter men
Where carved into a crude wood sign
It read 'welcome to the end'
For a dollar you could buy a girl
Of every possible design
But you couldn't find one decent man
Or a word spoken kind
Bb
Whiskey was for supper
Gm
A man couldn't ask for better!
Bb Gm
When we meet you will see
Dm
I will destroy everything of beauty
Bb Gm
When we meet then you'll know
Dm
I'll be the axe that clears the forest
I spent those days huntin' hard and fast
With no place to lay my head
And the sound of the rain against the roof
Was loud enough to wake the dead
And my legs were tired and my feet were cold
But all I could do was get back on the road
We were left alone left alone
Every king on his lonely throne
We were left alone left alone
Every king on his lonely throne
