Prepare the Slaughter

Intro

Sharpen the edge

Sharpen the edge

Count down from ten

Verse 1

Blood on the basin and a rusted blade

I carve the ritual in the wall

Rope and salt and a hollow prayer

Tonight the quiet takes the fall

Chainsaw singing a lullaby

Bones get stacked in a crooked row

Nobody's coming through that door

Nobody hears what they don't know

Pre-Chorus

So pray to whatever you kept

So beg till your throat goes numb

The slaughter is patient tonight

And patient means you don't run

Chorus

Prepare the slaughter

Prepare the slaughter

Hang the meat and lock the gate

Prepare the slaughter

Prepare the slaughter

We don't leave a single trace

(Pray) pray (pray) pray

Drop

Verse 2

Matchstick fingers a trembling hand

Tape on the mouth and a steady grip

Sharp little grin in a butcher's room

Watch the crimson start to drip

I built a shrine out of broken teeth

I fed the furnace and named it mine

Every scream is a hymn I wrote

Every ending is a design

Pre-Chorus

So pray to whatever you kept

So beg till your throat goes numb

The slaughter is patient tonight

And patient means you don't run

Chorus

Prepare the slaughter

Prepare the slaughter

Hang the meat and lock the gate

Prepare the slaughter

Prepare the slaughter

We don't leave a single trace

(Pray) pray (pray) pray

Bridge

Sanctify the violence

Sanctify the wound

Sanctify the silence

Sanctify the tomb

Breakdown

Bleed for me

Bleed for me

Bleed for me

Bleed

Chorus

Prepare the slaughter

Prepare the slaughter

Drag the hooks across the frame

Prepare the slaughter

Prepare the slaughter

Nobody remembers your name

(Pray) pray (pray) pray
