Lyrics

You can bury the hatchet, you can bury the ax You can bury the hatchet, but it don't change the act You can bury the hatchet, 6 feet underground But you know it's still, it's still there, when you're done Now you say to forgive, to forgive is divine You say to forget, that’s human, just a matter of mind You say to forgive, is a gift, a gift come from God But I say No No, it's the other way around You can go way too far, you can cross a line You can make up your plot and fire a shot that echoes thru time You can bury the body in its coat, and cover it with lies And I may forgive, but won't forget, till I die Something's rotten in Denmark and down here in Deer Cove Something's rotten all over and down deep in my soul Every heart has a hole, every heart has a hole With its own hatchet, buried deep, long ago
