《Slaughter of Innocents》歌词

[00:00:00] Slaughter Of Innocents - Conflict

[00:00:24] The balding man sits compiling his next move

[00:00:27] That mortgage hangs around his neck

[00:00:29] Now feeling like a noose

[00:00:30] The new gas bill

[00:00:31] Oh God how bad he feels

[00:00:33] Those kids he can't reject his emotional success

[00:00:36] He's a man of set opinion

[00:00:38] The weight of the world sits in his hands

[00:00:40] He just can not seem to reason

[00:00:41] So he will never understand

[00:00:42] They just won't listen to hardly anything he says

[00:00:45] They simply smile politely

[00:00:47] Then with one accord turn away

[00:00:49] A son stands at the pond

[00:00:50] Observing the creation that is nature

[00:00:52] Mother prepares dinner

[00:00:53] Roasting bacon taints the air

[00:00:55] Dog sits as master barks

[00:00:57] Then leaps lovingly into the car

[00:00:58] He waves and smiles emotionally

[00:01:00] His assurance that they will go far

[00:01:02] The stakes rise as each owner unfolds plans

[00:01:04] Men tempt and bait each other

[00:01:07] Money exchanges hands

[00:01:08] Animal love now snarling hatred

[00:01:10] Muzzle unlocked hair raised

[00:01:11] He smirks from behind the wooden

[00:01:13] Fence and shouts his destitute his praise

[00:01:14] Teeth tear

[00:01:15] Blood splashes the face of a young child playing

[00:01:17] She cries out in disapproval

[00:01:19] But daddy's now immune to what she is saying

[00:01:21] Driven mad and into frenzy

[00:01:22] Limbs torn skin is shorn

[00:01:23] Like sex perverts at their peep show

[00:01:25] This is the ultimate in porn

[00:01:27] Eyes glare beast and maste

[00:01:29] Animals both crazed and weary

[00:01:30] There can only be one real winner here

[00:01:32] The results are now seen clearly

[00:01:33] Teeth marks bare where fur once protected

[00:01:35] Flesh hangs dangling in shreds

[00:01:37] Their faces grimace rejected strips of meat exposed

[00:01:40] Selected

[00:01:41] Bloodstains and saliva splatter the fuel of precious life

[00:01:43] Master and servant segregate the ritual sacrifice

[00:01:46] Driven mad and into frenzy

[00:01:48] Limbs torn skin is shorn

[00:01:49] Like sex perverts at their peep show

[00:01:51] This is the ultimate in porn

[00:02:06] The sacrifice of innocents who obeyed the spoken law

[00:02:09] Tired beyond in durance but the spectators cry for more

[00:02:12] Death before dishonor a demand that is so obscene

[00:02:15] The men they appraise each other

[00:02:17] To keep their conscience clean

[00:02:18] Laughter hides the guilt they feel at every savage blow

[00:02:22] Someone whispers cruelty but they don't want to know

[00:02:25] The balding man stands silent as slave fights for life

[00:02:28] He thinks of all the good things

[00:02:30] That he has promised to his wife

[00:02:32] She caught a glimpse of God

[00:02:33] Through the windscreen of his car

[00:02:35] She tried to rationalise her looks

[00:02:36] But time don't heal the scars

[00:02:38] Some vague association

[00:02:39] She feels with the loser of the stake

[00:02:41] She stares into those sightless eyes

[00:02:43] What use for heaven sake

[00:02:44] The TV flickers images of the ideals she once knew

[00:02:47] The fresh young girls displaying soap

[00:02:49] To keep us clean and new

[00:02:50] She shrugs and folds her arms

[00:02:52] As he constructs the wooden box

[00:02:54] To hold his faded hope that took the heaviest of knocks

[00:02:57] Like pissing in the ocean

[00:02:59] Their options disappear

[00:03:00] As they think about the overheads

[00:03:02] They know the taste of fear

[00:03:03] Kids to feed and clothing

[00:03:05] They must show how much they care

[00:03:07] But how to tell the birthday gift is lying dead out there

[00:03:10] What should have paid for birthday cards

[00:03:12] Went on the prime cut beef

[00:03:13] Now celebrations of their birth

[00:03:14] Make way for tears of grief

[00:03:16] Did only what they thought

[00:03:17] Was best to give some sense of pride

[00:03:19] To give the kids a place in life

[00:03:21] And now the dream has died

[00:03:22] And how to show his love for her

[00:03:24] Now she repels his touch

[00:03:26] His remaining sense of manhood kicked away

[00:03:27] Just like a crutch

[00:03:29] He promised what he couldn't give

[00:03:30] The masters ruling word

[00:03:32] Urged the beast to glory but the servant never heard
