To the Slaughter
You came with the best intentions
But we don't want to be saved
And so now you will learn your lesson
That we can't ever be tamed
And now you stand upon your grave
We'll hollow your chest out
And dance in blood like rain
Tell me father
Was this salvation worth the pain?
No shepherd here
To quell the fear
Come now father
To the slaughter
The mark is clear
Your end is near
Another martyr under knife
Misguided sheep to sacrifice
As you wake up pinned and helpless
You beg the ghost and you scream
But there's no christ here to be seen
We pound on the war drums
And drink to the end of days
Tell me father
Was this salvation worth the pain?
No shepherd here
To quell the fear
Come now father
To the slaughter
The mark is clear
Your end is near
Another martyr under knife
Misguided sheep to sacrifice
"Please just let me go
No one has to know
We'll leave you alone
Oh God, take me home"
"Please just let me go
No one has to know
We'll leave you alone
Oh God, take me home"
No shepherd here
To quell the fear
Come now father
To the slaughter
The mark is clear
Your end is near
Another martyr under knife
Misguided sheep to sacrifice
("Please just let me go")
No shepherd here
("No one has to know")
To quell the fear
("We'll leave you alone")
Come now father
("Oh God, take me home")
To the slaughter
("Please just let me go")
The mark is clear
("No one has to know")
Your end is near
("We'll leave you alone")
Another martyr under knife
("Oh God, take me home")
Misguided sheep to sacrifice
But we don't want to be saved
And so now you will learn your lesson
That we can't ever be tamed
And now you stand upon your grave
We'll hollow your chest out
And dance in blood like rain
Tell me father
Was this salvation worth the pain?
No shepherd here
To quell the fear
Come now father
To the slaughter
The mark is clear
Your end is near
Another martyr under knife
Misguided sheep to sacrifice
As you wake up pinned and helpless
You beg the ghost and you scream
But there's no christ here to be seen
We pound on the war drums
And drink to the end of days
Tell me father
Was this salvation worth the pain?
No shepherd here
To quell the fear
Come now father
To the slaughter
The mark is clear
Your end is near
Another martyr under knife
Misguided sheep to sacrifice
"Please just let me go
No one has to know
We'll leave you alone
Oh God, take me home"
"Please just let me go
No one has to know
We'll leave you alone
Oh God, take me home"
No shepherd here
To quell the fear
Come now father
To the slaughter
The mark is clear
Your end is near
Another martyr under knife
Misguided sheep to sacrifice
("Please just let me go")
No shepherd here
("No one has to know")
To quell the fear
("We'll leave you alone")
Come now father
("Oh God, take me home")
To the slaughter
("Please just let me go")
The mark is clear
("No one has to know")
Your end is near
("We'll leave you alone")
Another martyr under knife
("Oh God, take me home")
Misguided sheep to sacrifice
