Executioner's Tax (Swing of the Axe) (Power Trip cover) Lyrics


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’s here, and he’s sharpening his axe

Swing of the Axe

Cry all you want, but the blade soars today

Swing of the Axe

You buy in the 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

Even a killer has to get paid

Swing of the Axe
