Lyrics

Slaughter

She said she loved me

I ran away

Don’t say you love me

I’ll run away

My love will lead you to slaughter

If you see it comin' I’d run the other way

I’m the spawn of a sick mother, tricks and lovers

Left to drown in a cold dark sea

Be my love

Hold close to your heart

Fear eats my soul

Be my lover

I’ll make you suffer

Be my love

Hold close to your heart

Fear eats my soul

My love will lead you to slaughter

When I see it comin', I’d run the other way

I’m the spawn of a sick father, tricks and lovers

Left to drown in a cold dark sea

My love

(be my lover)

(be my love)

(be my lover)
