Lamb of God - The Killing Floor Lyrics


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

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

Bow down to the butcher
Slaughtering your future
Bow down to the butcher
Slaughtering your future
On the killing floor

This is what you wanted, reflect a little harder
They threw away the hammer but the sickle’s cutting sharper

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

Bow down to the butcher
Slaughtering your future
Bow down to the butcher
Slaughtering your future
On the killing, the killing floor

Now watch the empire rot from the inside
On the killing floor
