Lyrics
Lamb to The Slaughter
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I went down to the water
Like a lamb to the slaughter
Didn't know
What was waiting for me there
Nobody warned me
Nobody told me
My excuse is I wasn't prepared
I drank deep from the river
And sealed up my fate
I should have seen the trap, baby
Before it was too late
We go down
We go down
We go down, it's the only way out
Who is this fool
Who believed all the stories
I wish I could say
It's not me
You polluted my head
With all the things you said
I became what you wanted to see
All of these years
I've built up this hate
I had my chance coming
But now it's too late
We go down
We go down
We go down, its the only way out
