Lambs to Slaughter

The voice of God echoes inside and it commands Her children shall be put to death by her own hands No more laughter, no more light, there's only pain Innocents held down and drowned, washed into the drain The helpless butchered and taken to their graves Now look me in the eyes and tell me Jesus saves Children forced to kneel, broken by the cross Thoughts and prayers are all we seem to offer for the loss Humanity and decency are drowned in holy water Blind leading the blind, we march ahead, like lambs to slaughter Voice of God comes from above and echoes deep within Children must be made to suffer, punishment for sin This infection spread into the weak mind of a fool He loaded up his armory and headed for the school Genuflect and bow your heads, averting both your eyes Tell yourselves there's nothing you can do, ignore the cries Children forced to kneel, broken by the cross Thoughts and prayers are all we seem to offer for the loss Humanity and decency are drowned in holy water Blind leading the blind, we march ahead, like lambs to slaughter I don't claim to hate your God But your ideals seem so flawed When guns are more important than people's lives I think you need to open up your eyes Children forced to kneel, broken by the cross Thoughts and prayers are all we seem to offer for the loss Humanity and decency are drowned in holy water Blind leading the blind, we march ahead, like lambs to slaughter
