The Hired Hand & The Lake Dwellers Lyrics

Down I Go The Hired Hand & The Lake Dwellers

Cursed appointment
Yuletide murders
Mysterious killings each Christmas Eve
Vigorous farmhand, guarding the farmstead
Lighting the candle, hiding in the wall

Smells like humans

March up to the farmhouse, like each year
Time to kill some humans
Bring the silver
Lay out all the silver: silver plates, silver knives, silver forks, silver goblets

Break the dog's neck!
Break the dog's bones!
Drain the dog's blood!
Throw his corpse through the window

Lay out all the silver: silver plates, silver knives, silver forks, silver goblets

Smells like humans

Daybreak! Daybreak!
You killed my dog and you danced all night long
Daybreak! Daybreak!
I'll chase you back down
Back to the water's edge

Quick, back down to the lake
Out my way!
Quick, lest we turn to stone
Back to the lake

Daybreak! Daybreak!

Smells like humans
