lyrics

So this tombstone (has) got our names on it
Carved with a blunt axe by these heretics
Please bring back the crashed plane’s black box
We have lost out but still can save some songs

Discard! Discard! Discard! This light
There is no need to save us tonight
Now put this corpse out of my sight
You are ruining my appetite
The artist blows or I will clam
Never ever bite the feeding hand
Now put this corpse out of my sight
You are ruining my appetite

So I have heard
There is a thief
Cruising through your scene
With a book (full of ideals)

So these ideals
Are all about
Broken hands
And broken jaws

I am yelling ‘fire!’ in a crowded theatre
But no one cares
So I will burn
Their bridges down
Seal this doom
And then you can decide
Which one has to die

Dig up the hatchet
