lyrics

in fact or realm of fancy
the axeman from the hottest hell
I’ve arrived in New Orleans
to cast my demon spell
invisible like ether, I’ll slay inside the night
a fallen brother angel for my majesty’s delight
in my infinite mercy I present this proposition
rile me or appease me, it’s your decision
you can look but you won’t know who I am
knowing is a wrath too much for mortal man
I am the axeman, axeman of New Orleans
on to my next victim not blue or improvised
besmear your blood and brains so smooth and recognized
across the walls and that room that you kept
on virgin Mary who stood watch as you slept
it was time to clean off the slick southern black hand
complicate the big easy, taking putrid souls back
to hell with me by straight razor or axe
like the blood I’ve left behind my legacy will last.
