The Axe Shall Fall Lyrics
This abomination won't see the end of days
Sit, throne of lies, torn by voice on high
Death was only a dream not devastating disaster
The rights of passage, the past that we can't alter
Fuck you, you...and the horse that you rode in on
Just sit there and be silent as the grave
You've come out on time smelling just like roses
I sit there, watch, while I drink my wine
The weight of your sins and the evil beneath us
Will surely drag you down
The Axe Shall Fall on the one-winged angel
Breaking the spell, would you break this fall?
For he (he) who sins (sins), against his kind
The Axe Shall Fall
Alright...alright!!!
With a hollow heart and hollow eyes
A cry from your cross serpents in disguise
Hearts of distrust is for his despise
I sit there, watch, while I drink my wine
The weight of your sins and the evil beneath us
Will surely drag you down
The Axe Shall Fall on the one-winged angel
Breaking the spell, would you break this fall?
For he (he) who sins (sins), against his kind
The Axe Shall Fall
Alright...alright!!!
The Axe Shall Fall
On the one-winged angel...tonight
Tonight...tonight
Sit, throne of lies, torn by voice on high
Death was only a dream not devastating disaster
The rights of passage, the past that we can't alter
Just sit there and be silent as the grave
You've come out on time smelling just like roses
I sit there, watch, while I drink my wine
Will surely drag you down
Breaking the spell, would you break this fall?
For he (he) who sins (sins), against his kind
The Axe Shall Fall
Alright...alright!!!
A cry from your cross serpents in disguise
Hearts of distrust is for his despise
I sit there, watch, while I drink my wine
Will surely drag you down
Breaking the spell, would you break this fall?
For he (he) who sins (sins), against his kind
The Axe Shall Fall
Alright...alright!!!
On the one-winged angel...tonight
Tonight...tonight

its saying, 'you got away, and now someone else has to pay, but this wont last. the shitstorm will touchdown on you in time.'
this along with 'live life how YOU want to' is another common topic in DD lyrics. the idea that your sins, and your evils will find you in time. no money no friend and nothing on earth can stop 'karma'/'god'/'cosmic normality' from tearing your shit apart like it should.
From 3:15 on, it makes me cry. It's just THAT good... I love the music, and it all works well. Dez DEFINITELY has some pipes.
@AvariceWillKill OMG yes. I don't know if it's the melody or what but it's like the best thing, musically, I've ever heard in my life. Even the addition of the god damned organ is amazing. It makes you wonder what kind of shit this band would come up with if they weren't a metal band! lol

The first time I listened to this song I immediately made a connection with Judas; it's asif the verses are like an account shown through his eyes, and the chorus implies a punishment for his betrayal. I know DevilDriver aren't Christians, but this is the story the song tells me personally.
