[Chorus: Tim Armstrong, Lars Frederiksen & Matt Freeman]
He can make a blind man see the Lord
They call him Eddie the Butcher
You can die by pistol or knife or sword
They call him Eddie the Butcher

[Verse 1: Tim Armstrong]
King of his trade and all the chaos that he made
Visions displayed a thousand cuts from his blade
Surgical precision carried out with a mission
Security provision never indecision

[Chorus: Tim Armstrong, Lars Frederiksen & Matt Freeman]
He can make a blind man see the Lord
They call him Eddie the Butcher
You can die by pistol or knife or sword
They call him Eddie the Butcher

[Verse 2: Tim Armstrong]
Likely sides with a big long knife
Demon arisе in a crimson sky
King of the flies, leavе no one alive
No compassion, agonize

[Chorus: Tim Armstrong, Lars Frederiksen & Matt Freeman]
He can make a blind man see the Lord
They call him Eddie the Butcher
You can die by pistol or knife or sword
They call him Eddie the Butcher
