Lyrics
Slaughterhouse 5
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.
And so it goes
Unstuck in time, safe below
Cold walls of grey
Behind them, no feeling, no flame
Death is raining from the blackened sky
Souls scream in fire
Unheavenly choir
Lights appear above
They pull me through the air
Far away from home
Where to and to is fro
Lights appear above
Now voices call me back to life
Far away from home
Back to the slaughterhouse
Will or fate?
Fools know the difference it makes
A tyrant waves another bloody flag
Children play soldier
As everything smolders
Lights appear above
They pull me through the air
Far away from home
Where to and to is fro
Lights appear above
Now voices call me back to life
Far away from home
Back to the slaughterhouse
Death is raining from the blackened sky
Souls scream in fire
Unheavenly choir
Lights appear above
They pull me through the air
Far away from home
Where to and to is fro
Lights appear above
Now voices call me back to life
Far away from home
Far way, far away, far away from home
Oh, save me from this slaughterhouse
Now voices call me back to life
Back to the slaughterhouse
