The butcher lives atop
His corpse-filled shop
The butcher lives in squalor
But doesn’t have a care
The butcher lives alone
With meat and bone
The butcher lives to kill
Flesh he’ll rip and tear

The butcher lives and hides
From suspecting eyes
The butcher lives to work
Mauls victims like a bear
The butcher lives alone
With meat and bone
The butcher lives clandestinely
Secrets he’ll never share
