They read him like an open book 
But the pages were blank 
Before he took the first step 
In a new direction 
Empty head, imperfection 

Second step still humble 
Without eyes the hands fumble 
Like his feet that wear no skin 
A naked man, man of sin 

Three steps that hurt like hell 
How did he get here 
And where will he dwell 

With bloody feet and an empty head 
Wish he could say 
What cannot be said 

As the fourth step was taken 
Ethics were shaken 
And the end result: 
Sanity forsaken 
No more fumble, no longer humble 
A cut of precision 
A part of his mission 

The road is blurry 
The mission is clear 
The bag is heavy 
His goal is near 

With bloody feet and an empty head 
Wish he could say 
What cannot be said 
Final step in the dance of the dead 
Last cut, last head
