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
