THE BUTCHERMAN’S LAMENT

When did we forget
The way this all started?
‘Cause now we’re left with just regret
For the way that we parted

Why couldn’t I see
That without you there’s no me?
And what’s a hog to do
For eternity, missing you?

This is the Butcherman’s Lament
We can’t get back the time
Of all those wasted years we spent
Trying to make each other die
And now that both of us have finally succeeded
I’m incompleted
Without you

Oh yeah

O, Mr Butcherman
Help me understand
What we’re doing here
O, Daddy Butcherman
Help me if you can
I don’t know if I love you
Don’t know if I hate you
I just know that I wish I could save you

Fæther!

This is the Butcherman’s Lament
As we kiss this world goodbye
‘Cause now our souls have paid the rent
And our spirits can freely fly
As we fade into the nothingness anew
As the curtain falls and I face the cards I drew
Without you

When did we forget
The way this all started?
Yeah…
