Lyrics

Small Axe

[Verse]

These are the words of my master

No weak heart shall prosper

And whosoever diggeth a pit

Shall fall in it, fall in it

Whosoever diggeth a pit

Shall fall in it, fall in it

[Outro]

If you are the big tree

We are the small axe

Ready to cut you down

To cut you down
