lyrics

"And as the sun sets and a pale moon rises over the sleepy town of Anatevka...

THE BUTCHER HUNTS HIS PREY!"

As the sun sets so spirits rise
to gasp of a man there with frozen eyes!
The empty BUTCHER sings!
A mensch of wealth and taste
Life of luxury paid in bloody blades!

Shalom aleichem! Aleichem shalom!

A Bride Specter with a fearsome wail,
a pale apparition in a gown and veil
a Dybbuk's accusation as THE BUTCHER seeks a new female!
As THE BUTCHER goes long in the tooth,
a soothsayer cuts a bargain for a flower in youth!
And only the ghosts of the graveyard know the truth!

Pray in a candle's flame!
make your bargain!
Whisper his name!

LAZAR WOLF!
LAZAR WOLF!
THE BUTCHER of Anatevka!

But tradition won't save you now!
Tradition won't save you now!

The sun will set! And the sun will rise!
And will your daughter be the next to die?
THE BUTCHER wants her!
The ghosts claim her too!
You're late for the Sabbath!
The grave yawns for you!

So pray in a candle's flame!
make your bargain!
Whisper his name tonight!
Because tradition won't save you from

LAZAR WOLF!
LAZAR WOLF!
THE BUTCHER of Anatevka!

But tradition won't save you now!
Tradition won't save you now!

Shalom aleichem! Aleichem shalom!

Countless Thousands Glendale, California

Take a show choir reject who was never cool enough for punk rock, throw him a rockabilly axe and have him cash in on all the poetry classes. Take an east coast jazz legend and tell him to lay off the weirder chords and step up the distortion. Take a cosplay nerd and give him +2 Charisma, +5 Vocalwork and +5 Shreddage. Mix well and serve immediately for total badassery. ... more
