Flotsam and Jetsam - She Took an Axe

A young maiden with a demon in her soul,
A twisted mind with secrets to unfold.
An innocent face, a deceiving smile,
Under no suspicion, servant to Belial.

The axe came down...Blood all around...
She lurks possessed, without a sound,
Butchers her Dam when no one is around.
The next day her Sire feels her wrath,
She has no remorse in her merciless bloodbath.

[Chorus:]
She's Miss Lizzy, she feels no pain
The axe came down
She's Miss Lizzy, she strikes again,
The axe came down, blood all around

[Bridge x2]
Lizzy Borden took an axe, gave her mother forty whacks,
When she saw what she had done, she gave her father forty-one.

Now before the jury with a solemn face,
These legendary murders...she left not a trace.
Lizzy found it so simple to take their lives,
Today she walks free...Axe by her side...

[Chorus]
She's Miss Lizzy, she feels no pain
The axe came down
She's Miss Lizzy, she strikes again,
The axe came down, blood all around

She took an axe.
