In the days of darkness,

men feared not the sword and the lance

nor did he fear the beast of fire,

he feared the Axeman



Once we lose our precious dreams,

there's nothing left to fight

Now you are bound and gagged,

one last meal is your final right

Many have tried, you are not the only one,

waiting for the final morn

time is now, the mask will be worn



CHORUS:

Bow down to the axeman

Hooded figure of mortal fear

Bow down to the axeman

Sun is rising, time is near



Darkness fills your parting soul,

mystical power was yours alone

You stole the king's crown of gold,

claiming the kingdom for your own

Good and evil clash in battle,

armies fight into the night

Steel and iron ring out the warning,

powers on the side of right



REAPEAT CHORUS



The sign of the king unities us all,

our fight for freedom rages on

Against warriors of light many fall,

our dreams of peace are not all gone

Once we lose that precious dream,

there's nothing left to fight

Now you are bound and gagged,

one last meal is your final right



REAPEAT CHORUS
