Not gonna live in anybody's grip
Be held in place and kept in line
By the chain and the whip
Won't be condemned to hell
When you're the one who's sinned
Wait until the dead of night
And fly like the wind
Making a stand to live like a man
Waiting for the axe
Payload on his back
Unfaithful to the rack
Day break, whip cracks
Hide in the shadows
Running when I can
Too late to turn around
No time to give a damn
Hounds of hell pick up the smell
And hunt me to the grave
If I die, I die a man
Not somebody's slave
Making a stand
To die like a man
Waiting for the axe
Running straight into traps
No time to relax
Stop dead in his tracks
Now waiting for the axe
Forsaking all the facts
Dying for what he lacks
The axeman starts to hack
