Lamb For Slaughter Lyrics

Clinging to seconds as time flies by
Thinking of those who'll have years before they die
Trembling out of control at the forest's edge
It won't be long before you're dead

Since your birth you've been fed lies
From the ones who planned out your cursed life
Here's the truth you never understood
You're the lamb to be slaughtered for the greater good

Lay down your wand
Prepare to die
Venture forth, boy
Don't be shy
It's your life
For all mankind
Lay down your wand
Prepare to die

Feel that pounding within your chest?
You're only made of bone and flesh
So intricate and so fragile
How is it you've only realized this now?

Heart beat steady as you go
You've learned the secret now you know
The truth you never understood
You're the lamb to be slaughtered for the greater good
