Hear the sound is coming near
Threatening and loud
Cutting through the peaceful night
Searching for his daily bread
When midnight comes around
Be warned 'cause he is out of sight

What carnal secrets does he hide
His ruthless rage will come
Buried deep inside his mind
The rites of the law began

The saw is the law

Lots of lives pass the saw
Tainted with blood
They felt the pain of ripping flesh
Those who've died
Have paid the price
And drawn their final breath

What carnal secrets does he hide
His ruthless rage will come
Buried deep inside his mind
The rites of the law began

The saw is the law

What carnal secrets does he hide
what worries of the flesh have come
With tears in his eyes
And a gun in his hand
So ends the story of the chainsawman

The saw is the law
The law is the saw
