Lamb to the Slaughter Lyrics


Another scratch upon the wall

Another day left behind

Tonight is stretching to eternity

Under a chilling pale moonlight

Your hands are cold, your heart's on fire

Can't find some peace of mind

The end is near, you realize

The sun will rise as you will die!

Wish that you were never born

Pray for miracles, wait to hear that call

Sweat and cower in your bed

Unexpected end for the life you lead

Another sigh, another breath

One closer to the end

The dawn is crawling to the window's cell

Like lava sprung from hell

The priest has gone, feel no relief

You shake in disbelief

The door is open, you walk the mile

The phone is ringin', you wait for life

Think about what went so wrong

You got there too late, you're the scapegoat

Not a chance to grieve your love

Justice's not been made either up or here below

Like a lab to the slaughter, you face your destiny

You're not responsible but the bill is on you

They strap you down and switch it on,

The deadly poison's flowing

The curtains close as the lynch mob is praising

Another day, another death

The judge's hammer falls again

A life is wasted for a killer's fake

You're just a number, a case to file

It don't matter who lives or dies

Blood washes blood, the story's told

But who will pay for your heart so cold?
