Slaughtered Authors

And so it began

The dreams we had were sold unto the man

And keen they arrived

Picture perfect and pleasing to the eye

Here's where you sign

Now welcome to the great design

All that you are will not be recognised 'til we decide

Like lambs to the slaughter they dive into the sea

And they'll never feel the water

That's coming down all around me

See how they come

Innocence is lost within a system

With yesterday gone

A new young king is crowned, but for how long?

Here's where you sign

To see how bright your star will shine

You'll be the one to make us beautiful

International

Like lambs to the slaughter they dive into the sea

And they'll never feel the water

That's coming down all around me

And those lost Sons and Daughters of a dying industry

Will now choke upon the water

Where you die there I'll be

End of the line

We must regretfully decline

Our expectations were not satisfied

But be advised

In the eyes of the law

Regard the leaving member clause

We have a five year option for your songs

Now move along

Like lambs to the slaughter they dive into the sea

And they'll never feel the water

That's coming down all around me

And those lost Sons and Daughters of a dying industry

Will now choke upon the water

Where you die there I'll be
