6. The Shadow of the Abattoir (7:11)
Snow covers every path
Stumbling, no turning back
Pushing further 'til I fall
Looking up, I hear him call
What's known is now lost forever
Endless shadows lead the way
No cover from the sun
Crumbling, fall one by one
Look in envy at the dead
They took pity as they said
What's known is now lost forever
Endless shadows lead the way
Don't go searching for the battle
You won't find any beasts to slay
You'll rip yourself to pieces
You'll drive yourself insane
In the shadow of the abattoir
Black waters in our wake
Sinking, await our fate
Our dead future has arrived
Dark refrain, we can't deny
What's known is now lost forever
Endless shadows lead the way
Don't go searching for the battle
You won't find any beasts to slay
You'll rip yourself to pieces
You'll drive yourself insane
In the shadow of the abattoir
Don't go searching for the battle
You won't find any beasts to slay
You'll rip yourself to pieces
You'll drive yourself insane
In the shadow of the abattoir
From the depths
I will rise
From the ground to the sky
From the depths
I will rise
From the ground to the sky
From the depths
I will rise
From the ground to the sky
From the depths
I will rise
From the depths
I will rise
Don't go searching for the battle
You won't find any beasts to slay
You'll rip yourself to pieces
You'll drive yourself insane
In the shadow of the abattoir
Don't go searching for the battle
You won't find any beasts to slay
You'll rip yourself to pieces
You'll drive yourself insane
In the shadow of the abattoir
Snow covers every path
Stumbling, no turning back
You'll rip yourself to pieces
You'll drive yourself insane
In the shadow of the abattoir
Stumbling, no turning back
Pushing further 'til I fall
Looking up, I hear him call
What's known is now lost forever
Endless shadows lead the way
No cover from the sun
Crumbling, fall one by one
Look in envy at the dead
They took pity as they said
What's known is now lost forever
Endless shadows lead the way
Don't go searching for the battle
You won't find any beasts to slay
You'll rip yourself to pieces
You'll drive yourself insane
In the shadow of the abattoir
Black waters in our wake
Sinking, await our fate
Our dead future has arrived
Dark refrain, we can't deny
What's known is now lost forever
Endless shadows lead the way
Don't go searching for the battle
You won't find any beasts to slay
You'll rip yourself to pieces
You'll drive yourself insane
In the shadow of the abattoir
Don't go searching for the battle
You won't find any beasts to slay
You'll rip yourself to pieces
You'll drive yourself insane
In the shadow of the abattoir
From the depths
I will rise
From the ground to the sky
From the depths
I will rise
From the ground to the sky
From the depths
I will rise
From the ground to the sky
From the depths
I will rise
From the depths
I will rise
Don't go searching for the battle
You won't find any beasts to slay
You'll rip yourself to pieces
You'll drive yourself insane
In the shadow of the abattoir
Don't go searching for the battle
You won't find any beasts to slay
You'll rip yourself to pieces
You'll drive yourself insane
In the shadow of the abattoir
Snow covers every path
Stumbling, no turning back
You'll rip yourself to pieces
You'll drive yourself insane
In the shadow of the abattoir
