We would like to invite you on a journey
A tale of an instrument of death
Watch us as we pass the axe.

(Blaze)
I took the axe off the shelf in the tool shed
It’s telling me I gotta fuckin bloody the misled
My victim approached
Cut her head off at the throat
She was a hooker with AIDS
Spreading disease like it was dope
Cut the head off her pimp
Before he started to trash talk
Two bodies in my trunk and police on a manhunt
I’m on the loose again
They chasing me for blocks
Seen a homie on the street
So I passed the axe to Madrox

(Madrox)
I took the axe
What the fuck am I supposed to do with that?
It’s all bloody
And it looks like its been in and out of someone’s back
Grips on the handle, blood dripping down the neck
So I grabbed that bitch like *laugh* bet
Who wanna get halfed up by the half wit
Who got a gang of problems
And don’t give half a shit, bitch
You can fall victim to the double headed fury
Don’t be scared, be worried, man.

(Chorus)
Pass me something sharp and wicked
And I’ll pass it back
Don’t worry I’ll pass it back.
It’s raining, the rain is dark and wicked
And I’ll pass it back
Don’t worry I’ll pass it back.
(I'll Hack you!)

(ABK)
I took the axe back to the shed where I stay
Cleaned off the blood and then sharpened up the blade
Waited ‘til dark and then ran through the hood
And chopped up drunk bums like they’re blocks of wood
I can’t see myself stopping and if I do then I’m dead
And the only way I’m dying is if I sever my own head
Grip on the tip, so my nub won’t slip
And I’m about to fuckin’ pass it to the hands of 2 Dope bitch

(Shaggy)
I took the axe and swang it through like butter
When I cut back you better run, duck, and cover.
You know your jugular well, it’s gone
I blacked out last night and realized in the morning
Gotta dig another hole in the backyard
Run get me a shovel, it ain’t that hard
Understand that I got a hairpin trigger wrist
When I squeeze it off, haha, you get the gist.

(Chorus)
Pass me, something sharp and wicked
And I’ll pass it back
Don’t worry I’ll pass it back.
It’s raining, the rain is dark and wicked
And I’ll pass it back
Don’t worry I’ll pass it back.

(Violent J)
I took the axe
Perhaps I had a relapse
I seen a pretty pretty neck
And I couldn’t relax
I cut through it
I throw knives with precision
But it’s noting like the feeling
Of committing the incision
Flip it over, a radio program
I pound his head into a bloody pizza
With the hammer
Threw it into the sky and let it stick in my back
And passed out at Monoxide’s front porch like that.

(Monoxide)
I took the axe and lost my fucking mind
On this cop who pulled up behind me
I handcuffed him on the side of the street
And started smacking em with it like I was making a beat
Oh God!
Another cop pulled up
So I grabbed the same axe and planted it in his forehead
Two more dead, bloody and dismembered
Now it’s back in the shed and that’s all I remember.

(Chorus)
Pass me, something sharp and wicked
And I’ll pass it back
Don’t worry I’ll pass it back.
It’s raining, the rain is dark and wicked
And I’ll pass it back
Don’t worry I’ll pass it back.
(I'll Hack you!)

The axe that splits so many backs
Its back to the tool shed to relax
Peep that
So many failed with no tale to tell.
And it’s only remembered be the stain they left
On the axe.

    this is a wicked song and i dont reckons its bout the bible thats just stupid. my favourite part is "I took the axe and lost my fucking mind On this cop who pulled up behind me I handcuffed him on the side of the street And started smacking em with it like I was making a beat" how the hell does that relate to the bible. ive heard of bible bashers but isnt that taking it a little far.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
