Sheep to the Slaughter

*(Verse 1)* In the shadows of a broken land, Where promises crumble and ideals expand, The banners rise, the hammers fall, But the cries of the people just echo and stall. *(Pre-Chorus)* Blind devotion, lost in the haze, Marching to the rhythm of a twisted craze, Broken dreams and shattered trust, Fuel the fire of the greedy lust. *(Chorus)* Sheep to the slaughter, led by the lies, Bound by the chains of the false and the cries, Lost in the madness of the grand design, March to the end, where the sun don’t shine. *(Verse 2)* Red flags wave in the face of despair, A false utopia, a false repair, They sell you a vision, a dream so sweet, But they’re digging your grave with every beat. *(Pre-Chorus)* Lost in the doctrine, blind to the end, You’re just a pawn in the game they pretend, The world’s on fire, but you don’t see, Trapped in the chains of your own decree. *(Chorus)* Sheep to the slaughter, led by the lies, Bound by the chains of the false and the cries, Lost in the madness of the grand design, March to the end, where the sun don’t shine. *(Bridge)* The guillotine waits with a rusty grin, As the leaders laugh while the lies sink in, You’re just a number in a grand charade, In the iron grip of the masquerade. *(Breakdown)* Rise from the ashes, break the chains, See through the lies, the bloodstained reins, Fight back the darkness, don’t fall in line, The path to freedom is yours to define. *(Chorus)* Sheep to the slaughter, led by the lies, Bound by the chains of the false and the cries, Lost in the madness of the grand design, March to the end, where the sun don’t shine. *(Outro)* Wake from the nightmare, break the spell, Rise from the ashes, escape the hell, The future’s not written, it’s yours to claim, Break free from the shackles, and end the game.
