Lyrics for The Slaughter

I'll know her face a mile away I'll know her face a mile away I'll know her face a mile away I'll know her face a mile away You'll be there in the slaughter Freeing me when I'm cornered Being arrested by the mind cops They're the only ones worth changing what you do for And I'll try To be in line I guide my fate And what it's good for there's no telling It's blood It's a flood I'll know her face a mile away She'll take me straight through that gate I'll know her face a mile away She'll take me straight through that gate Living there in a flower You wouldn't have made it without her Though she seems to stay in one place She grows with your life So cry for time What's slow is fast at the same time It comes To life And if it dies You'll never notice cause it It slides as it climbs I'll know her face a mile away I'll know her face a mile away I'll know her face a mile away And I'll know my pains a life away And I'll know my pains a life away And I'll know my pains a life away
