Late For The Kill, Early For The Slaughter Lyrics - The Panic Broadcast - Soilwork

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 dragged 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 

I was late for the kill but early for the slaughter 

I don't care how it bleeds 

I was late for the kill 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 the 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 kill but early for the slaughter 

I don't care how it bleeds 

I was late for the kill 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 this mess 

And return to life 

Consider me dead if that's what you want 

Gather around me, the day is done 

Late for the kill, early for the slaughter 

I don't care how it bleeds 

Late for the kill, stopped in to drag the waters 

Turn the bitter to sleep
