From the recording Chopping Block
Here's .... Chopping Block
Big thanks to Martee Leebow for singing backs with me and adding her soulful hot sauce in the vamp, Oz Noy for his lead and slide work when my fingers said no more, and Paul Guzzone for saying go!
Lyrics
Chopping Block
Look out – there’s a big storm coming
The air is thick with discontent
Now’s the time to heed the warning
As thunder cracks the firmament
Faces of fear all around
Better run for cover - hit the ground
When the axe comes down
When the axe comes down on the chopping block
Makes a mighty sound
When the axe comes down on the chopping block
Everybody’s choosing colors
Raise a flag and join a tribe
Going down in a blaze of glory
As we saddle up for this freedom ride
If the blade is sharp and swift
It's a perfect split. A bullseye hit
When the axe comes down
When the axe comes down on the chopping block
Gotta stand our ground
When the axe comes down on the chopping block
Put out the clarion call far and wide
How can we come together cross this great divide
Chorus: Repeat
