Song of the Day

Project 86, "The Butcher"

This man came to me, he was looking for action
Pulling a blade to my neck
He said, “Call me the butcher cause that's my trade
And you know that I’ve come to collect.”

I said, "Hit me now and we’ll see where it leads
Cut me out if you think I will bleed
Strike me down if you think you’re a man
Cause I know that you don't understand..."

Chorus:
Because there is no weapon
There is no blade
You wonder why I’m not afraid?
I’ve erased all of my fear of the grave
You’ll never kill him that lives inside of me

He looked into my eyes, all he saw was conviction
Dropping the blade to the earth
I said, “How could you think that I’d ever retreat?
You know that I’m already dead.”
