The Killing Floor Lyrics - Defiance

[Music: Adams / Harrington / Esquivel] 

[Lyrics: Esquivel] 

They're mislead by authority 

And they're guinea pigs with 

dignity 

With everlasting memories 

Frozen thoughts and bloody 

dreams 

[Chorus:] 

Mesmerized 

Souls left behind 

In the killing fields 

That leave you blind 

In the war of conspiracy 

Young men fight for humanity 

When they're pawned off to the 

killing fields 

Smell the stench of misery 

[Repeat chorus] 

Politicians send them off to war 

Deep within the front line 

The only man who's taught to 

survive 

As desperation freezes time 

Innocent lives are wrongly put at 

stake 

Negotiate the fields of blood 

Out in the cold they're taught to 

survive 

Salvation runs in the blood 

Off to the fields of blood 

Into the fields of blood 

Off to the fields of blood 

Die in the fields of blood 

They're mislead by authority 

Soldiers die with dignity 

Survivors live with memories 

Broken thoughts and broken 

dreams 

[Repeat chorus]
