Abattoir Songtext
von Joe Bartel

I cannot build my house
Upon this foundation of fractured stone
No broken heart could navigate
This rotting hellscape carved in flesh and bone
I cannot stand this hunger ripping me apart from inside out
Turn me into a beast
Or a pillar of salt
Divine retribution, strip my doubt


I didn′t think this entropy applied to me
I don't know why
But if the pass is just abyss and quicksand
Then fuck it, bet it all on black
Let′s roll the dice
I cannot douse this raging wildfire
Sweeping through my mind
Incinerate my skeleton to ash
I'll leave nothing left to exhume or to find

Never mind your racing heart
Step into the abbatoir
Genuflect and say a prayer
As they drop the hammer down
Looking up from six feet deep
You return to the darkness
And no one remembers your name

Somebody got murdered in this house
I see the bloodstains on the floor
Somebody got murdered in this house
I see their spirit hanging in the door
Somebody got murdered in this house
