Slaughterhouse Road

Everybody else steeped in wonder as I finish out my stride
What you cannot put asunder the struggle to survive
I see idiots and hypocrites, can't cut me down to size
And I'll be god damned if you'll take me alive

Casualties grown
Feeding the Earth, no one knows
Build greater hope
Yet feed the slaughter our souls

I'd rather live than believe in eternity
Forget, forgive (forget, forgive)
No discerning the fire that burn me
Forget, forgive (forget, forgive)
I'd rather live than believe in eternity
Forget, forgive (forget, forgive)
There's no cure for mankind
Forgive, forget

Casualties grown
Feeding the Earth, no one knows
Build greater hope
Yet feed the slaughter our souls

Feeding a bottomless hole
Bleeding our youth for the gold
On the slaughterhouse road

You can't end the war or compensate for the loss
You can't erase the scars, we can't restore the face
Of a nation behind bars, of a nation behind bars
Of decades laid to waste, of decades laid to waste

On the slaughterhouse road
Slaughterhouse road
On the slaughterhouse road
Slaughterhouse road

Everybody else steeped in wonder as I finish out my stride
What you cannot put asunder the struggle to survive
I see idiots and hypocrites, can't cut me down to size
And I'll be god damned if you'll take me alive
