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
