"The Killing Floor" lyrics - LAMB OF GOD

Ripped the sword of Damocles down from its string
Pushed the pendulum too far and gave her a swing
Escalate the conflict and erase the kompromat
Jack the ratings to the sky and bring back the draft
As the empire rots from inside

[Chorus:]
Bow down to the butcher
Slaughtering your future
On the killing floor

I walked your savior like a dog through his gilded door
At 23 kilohertz, I called him to the floor
Unleash strategic chaos, a new world disorder
I'll roll you over in your grave and redraw the borders

[Chorus:]
Bow down to the butcher
Slaughtering your future
Bow down to the butcher
Slaughtering your future
On the killing floor

[Interlude:]
This is what you wanted, reflect a little harder
They threw away the hammer, but the sickle's cutting sharper, go!

[Bridge:]
A puppet god dancing at the end of icy strings
Of cognitive dissonance, purchased tyranny
A red caeser rising and history does rhyme
In brutal resurrection of propaganda crimes

[Chorus:]
Bow down to the butcher
Slaughtering your future
Bow down to the butcher
Slaughtering your future
On the killing, the killing floor

[Outro:]
Now watch the empire rot from the inside
On the killing floor
