Soilwork - Late For The k**, Early for the Slaughter lyrics

Consider me dead if that's what you want Gather around me, the day has come Straight through the threshold, the morning calls Wasn't meant to be there, when I opened the door You saw me begging, you saw me down on my knees I felt defenseless, and you don't know how it feels I have made up my mind every time It's been dragging in the dirt Every scar wears a thought Leaving battles that I've loved It's been hard, it's been fiercely infected It's been dropped, it's been suddenly present Cutting ways that I've walked Earning miles through it all [Chorus:] I was late for the k**, but early for the slaughter I don't care how it bleeds I was late for the k** but stopped in to drag the waters Turn the bitter to sleep I do believe there's something more, though my vision's blurred Straight out of nowhere, with lack of words I've been given the time, I've been given the faith Don't you try to stop me, don't you lie to my face I have made up my mind every time It's been turned to prevail Every word feeds the crown To dictate the profound It's been hard, it's been fiercely infected It's been dropped, it's been suddenly present Cutting ways that I've walked Earning miles through it all Through it all I was late for the k**, but early for the slaughter I don't care how it bleeds I was late for the k** but stopped in to drag the waters Turn the bitter to sleep Just hear me out on this one Cause I ain't got nothing to hide I will wipe out the mess And return to life Consider me dead if that's what you want Gather around me, the day has come Late for the k** Early for the slaughter Late for the k** Stopped in to drag the waters
