Death comes like a glacier from the peaks of all wars
|
Reason and logic the general's cry, "More!"
|
Bodies in gullies, contortionist poses
|
Fogged by the scent of mustard gas and roses
|
|
Take me back to the war I survived
|
Gather them all it's a Slaughterhouse Five
|
Take me back to the war I survived
|
Gather them all it's a Slaughterhouse Five
|
|
As buildings belch bombs to the haloed Moon
|
Entrust its landscape to the barren gloom
|
A bullet-proof bible can protect your heart
|
Who'll cover your eyes when you're falling apart
|
|
Take me back to the war I survived
|
Gather them all it's a Slaughterhouse Five
|
Take me back to the war I survived
|
Gather them all it's a Slaughterhouse Five
|
|
Mischief rides high upon the martyrs back
|
Provide the creedence for unprovoked attack
|
Yet in their use can these shadows have form
|
Armies create circles sparks from the dawn
|
|
Take me back to the war I survived
|
Gather them all it's a Slaughterhouse five
|
Take me back to the war I survived
|
Gather them all it's a Slaughterhouse five
|
|
And so it goes no one is left alive
|
Take me back to the war I survived
|
These were people like you and I
|
Take me back to the war I survived
|
