Lamb to the Slaughter

An endless cycle of perpetual decay
A waking nightmare that will never cease to end
Forever spiraling into your darkest days
Now drink to misery
Your never-ending thirst
Betrayal won't be forgiven
This is hell we live in

Disintegration of love and nurture
A flagrant violation
Ashamed
This heart is rusting
A hateful creature thrown into chaos
Betrayed

We abandon the light
Paralysed by the horror
Now the blind lead the blind
Like the lamb to the slaughter

One taste of power and you'll savour the game
And you'll deny your heart to justify the pain
A hatred so misplaced
A mask to hide your face
I'll cry for you no more behind the iron doors

Red soil
Betrayal won't be forgiven
Red soil
This is hell we live in

Sins of the father
Gift to the son
One day you'll return
I will wait

We abandon the light
Paralysed by the horror
Now the blind lead the blind
Like the lamb to the slaughter
