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
Forget, forgive, forget, forgive
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
