I leave a trail of victims, like a blight across the country It's a map of devastation Strewn with pins to mark their lost and ruined souls I'm continuing the business of some unknown predecessor There is method I must follow There is ritual in each detail, and each goal I follow in your footsteps - I choose to hold the reigns You have passed to me the baton I am eager, I am willing... I am sane! I'm trusted with the legend I'm here to fan the flames You have offered me the challenge I am eager, I am willing... I am sane! Eighty years ago When the 'Axe-Man' was the killer They hunted far and wide But the bodies They just kept on mounting up... He drove across the country Leaving murder in his wake But soon the net had tightened He was running out of time And out of luck Now I claim the title The 'Axe-Man' back again I am part of a process Another link in the chain I follow in your footsteps I choose to hold the reigns You have passed to me the baton I am willing... I am sane! I'm trusted with the legend I'm here to fan the flames You have offered me the challenge I am eager, I am willing... I am sane... I am sane... I am sane!
