lyrics

Words cut like a knife to the throat through the chest
Something that I found but I digress
Mind over matter he's a simple one
Finger on the trigger but the eye's on the gun
Blood through the eyes that he doesn't need
Seeing something so obscene
Don't bat an eye, don't bend a lash

Follow me outside, no time to think or decide
Follow me outside, no question I will abide
Cut myself I know my task
I let let it burn, I let it last
Follow me outside, no time to think or decide
Follow me outside, fall in vain

The axe that falls upon the head
Sees it coming once again
He doesn't scream, it's okay to be headless
Clear of thought and clear of mind
Sound of heart he just unwinds
The only problem is you can't look in his eyes

Anger without reason like the back of a hand
Swift with the punishment but don't understand
Mind over matter he's a simple one
Doesn't even flinch from the shot of a gun
Eyes on the prize he don't realize
He's killing zombies left and right
He goes with the flow cause he let it go

The axe that falls upon the head
Sees it coming once again
He doesn't scream, it's okay to be headless
Clear of thought and clear of mind
Sound of heart he just unwinds
The only problem is you can't look in his eyes

The flac version of this sounds great in my truck... not a crunch, clip or boom to be heard. That, in itself, gets this major points. This is a lovely combination of early Floyd, U2 and a few San Francisco bands from the '60s with a heavy dose of Helmet tossed in. It's definitely best of breed when it comes to modern psych stuff. Even without a Hammond B3, it gets an easy A+... rick-taylor
