[INTRO]
"They found him at the bottom of a ravine. Buzz axe still in his hand. He went out the way he lived: screaming, swinging, and certain he was right."
---
[VERSE 1]
He never had a name that mattered.
Just a voice. Just a scream. Just a pattern
Of violence that painted the dust red.
Now he's still. Now he's dead.
They say he was crazy. They say he was lost.
They never counted the cost
Of being sane in a world that makes no sense.
He chose the axe. He chose the fence
On the other side. He chose to be free
When everyone else was a slave.
---
[HOOK]
BUZZ AXE REQUIEM. SING FOR THE FALLEN.
THE DIRT. THE BLOOD. THE BEAUTIFUL MESS.
NOW HE'S SILENT. NOW HE'S REST.
BUZZ AXE REQUIEM. NO PRAYERS. NO GODS.
JUST THE AXE AND THE ODDS
HE BEAT EVERY DAY HE WOKE UP AND CHOSE
THE SCREAM. THE BLOOD. THE BEAUTIFUL NOISE.
---
[VERSE 2]
I remember his laugh. Like broken glass.
Every day. Every fight.
He was the reason we made it through the night.
He never asked for grace.
He just swung his axe in anyone's face
Who thought they had a plan.
He was the end of the plan.
---
[BRIDGE]
"At the end, bleeding out in the dust, he said… 'Tell them I was happy.'
No regret. No fear. Just happiness. I don't know if that's crazy or the sanest thing I ever heard."
---
[VERSE 3]
He taught me that sanity is just consent
To a world that doesn't make sense.
He refused. He lived where the rules don't apply.
Where the only truth is the axe and the sky.
I think about him when the world gets loud.
When plans and futures make me want to bow.
I think of him and I take a chance.
To live like he did. To dance
His dance. To scream his scream.
To live in the moment. To live in the dream.
---
[BREAKDOWN]
"He was happy."
HE WAS HAPPY.
IN THE DUST. IN THE BLOOD.
HE WAS FREE.
HE WAS THE ONLY ONE I KNEW
WHO DIDN'T PRETEND.
HE WAS HAPPY.
---
[FINAL HOOK]
BUZZ AXE REQUIEM. HE'S GONE NOW.
BUT THE SCREAM LIVES.
BUZZ AXE REQUIEM. NO CAGE. NO CROWN.
JUST THE DIRT. JUST THE AXE. JUST THE SOUND.
BUZZ AXE REQUIEM. HE WAS HAPPY.
MAYBE THAT'S ENOUGH. MAYBE THAT'S MORE.

[OUTRO]
"I visit sometimes. When the plans get too heavy. I sit with him. And if you're quiet… you can still hear him laughing."
