Frailty

I'm hearing voices in my head
I can read between the lines
Some things are better left unsaid
I'm not out of my mind.

One hot day the sun burned bright
The year of '79
Delirious, I saw a light
Like thousand suns it shined
The tale I tell you now is true
Of this you should not doubt
A righteous path of pure belief
Is what this is about.

I am just a simple man
Kept mostly to myself
A miracle appeared before me
And asked me for my help
The angel had a register
Of forty nasty names
He asked me
To dispose of them
For actions quite profane.

The acts of God
What I have done
I am the chosen one
I can see though their disguise
With these magic eyes.

I'm hearing voices in my head
I can read between the lines
Some things are better left unsaid
I'm not out of my mind.

One by one I hunted them
And gave them all the axe
Forty dirty demons I gave them forty whacks
They seemed so very innocent
For those who could not see
As I sent them straight to hell
Their sins were revealed to me.

I raised the axe above my head
Just like the angel said
I brought it down with no remorse
They had to die.

They seemed so pedestrian
In plain sight they were cloaked
To capture them I would pretend
I had to get real close.

I subdued and binded them
Then took them to the house
After I disposed of them
I buried them in the ground.

[Chorus]

THE FRAILTY OF MAN'S PERCEPTION
TO SEE WHAT'S REALLY TRUE
I AM THE HAND OF GOD KILLER
I KNOW JUST WHAT I MUST DO
I have two sons one shares the sight
The other does resist
I horrified 'cause now I find
My oldest's on the list.
