Everybody else steeped in wonder As I finish out my stride What you cannot put assunder The struggle to survive I see idiots and hypocrites Cant cut me down to size And I'll be god damned if you'll Take me alive Causalities grown Feeding the Earth no one knows Build greater hope Yet feed the Slaughterhouse Road I'd rather live than believe in eternity Forget, forgive No discerning the fire that burn me Forget, forgive I'd rather live than believe in eternity Forget, forgive There's no cure for mankind Forgive, forget! 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 decades laid to waste On the Slaughterhouse Road
