I moved from Paris to Minneapolis to escape the war I've set up shop under the big top where I will soar Now I've got secret Yes I've got secret Darkness dwells in me Delightfully twisted and full of hatred I will never be free The wicked, the evil, with razors, and sickles The saints, the angels, with halos, and heroes All Rage inside, my mind A knife Thrower by day A killer I’d say To hell I am bound You don’t need worry My memory isn’t blurry You'll be safe and sound For the throats I’ve taken We're bound for damnation and I am always so careful So please don’t fear Don’t shed a tear Unless you’re one of the Dreadful The wicked, the evil, with razors, and sickles The saints, the angels, with halos, and heroes All Rage inside, my mind

Stella had a heart made of gold As beautiful as a centerfold She worked the corner of 5th and 3rd It took me a month to speak a word, to her Stella was the best in all of Montreal I paid her to go dancing at the ball We fell in love straight away I could call on her everyday Stella, Oh Stella I will buy your love Stella, Oh Stella I will take you away I told Stella of my plan But she feared for the wrath of her man She tried to leave once before He took her eye to settle the score Stella, Oh Stella I will buy your love Stella, Oh Stella I will take you away I found her pimp across town and with my knife I took him down Now Stella was free to be my love Now Stella was free to be my love Stella, Oh Stella I have won your love Stella, Oh Stella We can run away

The Filth 03:03
There’s filth…building inside of me Heavy hangs the heart of the lonely Sitting waiting for her love to come Regretting the lost of her one and only She is wallowing in her lonesome I can fix what makes her broken I can make her one the forgotten There’s filth…growing inside of me Guilt drowns the heart of the sinner Laying awake in his bed at night His decisions are wearing him thinner He cant decide what’s wrong or right I can fix what makes him broken I can make him one the forgotten There’s filth…seeded inside of me

After I started working the mine My life has been on a decline I wish I had the strength to desert But my lungs are filled with dirt Just when I thought it couldn't get worse They give me a new boss with a curse He’s the lowest of all management you would swear from hell he was sent One day he pushed me too hard He had no time to put up his guard I raised my pickax up real high And plummeted it down into is eye I was filled with the new feeling It was something my life was missing I pushed him into a dark hole And for the last time I shoveled coal One day he pushed me to hard He had no time to put up his guard I raised my pickax up real high And plummeted it down into is eye

Hang Me 03:17
So hang me, string me up, Snap my neck Send me down into my lover’s arms My lover he lives in a cage He was sent there for his rage I saw him on the daily news He is the one I will choose It started with lovers’ notes Sealed with beautiful quotes I quickly won his affections Without any single objections So please my lovely dagger Send me to him faster Into your arms I will go Down, down, down below So hang me, string me up, Snap my neck Send me down into my lover’s arms Everyday I get are threats I don’t have one single regret I didn’t even hold my breath Even when he was sentence to death So please my lovely dagger Send me to him faster Into your arms I will go Down, down, down below So hang me, string me up, Snap my neck Send me down into my lover’s arms

The Butcher 01:47
Blood washes off easier then oil To clean the meat from your bones You just need a pot set to boil Knifes, saws, hammers, and nails I shall break you down and stuff you in barrels Got a good old fashioned pit With some wood and gas your clothes will burn when lit Forget your boss, forget your friends There's nothing left of you except for some odds and ends They call me the butcher that's what I am They call me the butcher that's what I am

The Soldier 02:54
I've got a girl at home that wrote me a letter Telling that when I get home it will be better But I' don't think i will come home at all I wont live to take her to our town hall Drafted at eighteen and sent off to war to fight In the trenches on a foreign shore I have killed so many honest men Please help me father to pray again Up in my tower I sit alone waiting to shoot them down I sit upon a lonely thrown With my broken bloodied crown I've cried my self to sleep countless nights remembering faces that fell into my sights Fathers and brothers with sisters and wives I know I have taken way to many lives Up in my tower I sit alone waiting shoot them down I sit upon a lonely thrown With my broken bloodied crown

No one should know what I've done No one should know what I've done Bury me in an unmarked grave Bury me in an unmarked grave No one should know where I am No one should know where I am Bury me in an unmarked grave Bury me in an unmarked grave No one should what I am No one should what I am Bury me in an unmarked grave Bury me in an unmarked grave
