Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Annunakkkiiii... open the channel...
Kai'thael the Ascendant, I came with a candle
Truth in the marrow, I read what they planted
Denizens assembled, the chamber is standing
Hands in the velvet, eyes on the ledgers
Bought and paid for, they bending the message
Fraud puppet rappers, they sell you a costume
Smile for the crowd while the wolves in the boardroom
Youth in the crossfire, mind in a box
Same old script with a different gloss
They call it a dream, I call it a snare
Gold on the tongue, but the poison is there
[Pre-Chorus]
Look at the chain they built
Look at the skin they sell
Every verse got a leash
Every hook got a spell
[Chorus]
Sheep to the slaughter
Sheep to the slaughter
Idiocracy was a documentary
Sheep to the slaughter
Sheep to the slaughter
Sheep to the slaughter
Wake up the ones they bury
Sheep to the slaughter
[Verse 2]
I seen the machine when it smiled in my face
Turned pain into product, then threw it away
Plucked from the herd for the cameras and glitter
Taught to repeat what the handlers whisper
Numbers and contracts, the holy disease
They buy up the smoke, then they bottle the breeze
Culture for rent, and the rent still rising
Kids on the edge while the wolves keep dining
They want you divided, distracted, and tame
Clap for the puppet, don’t question the frame
But I speak from the seam where the seams all split
And the lie start leaking when the real ones get hit
[Pre-Chorus]
Look at the chain they built
Look at the skin they sell
Every verse got a leash
Every hook got a spell
[Chorus]
Sheep to the slaughter
Sheep to the slaughter
Idiocracy was a documentary
Sheep to the slaughter
Sheep to the slaughter
Sheep to the slaughter
Sheep to the slaughter
Sheep to the slaughter
Sheep to the slaughter
Wake up the ones they bury
Sheep to the slaughter
[Bridge]
No cap on the omen, the pattern is old
They feed you the fever, then tax you the soul
Still, I keep advancing, I sharpen the blade
Every revelation another wall gets flayed
[Verse 3]
Yeshua, I’m calling, no filter, no veil
Nazarene Flame in the wire and the trail
Step through the static, let the whole lie crack
Light in the ribs and the saber come back
I seen men in suits make a sermon of greed
Then sell off the water and call it a need
I seen the clean mouths spit a polished-out lie
While kids get drafted by a headline and sigh
Not here for the theater, not here for the chain
I name every trick, every mask, every game
From the meeting room smoke to the basement floor
From the donor’s grin to the locked front door
Open the channel, let the trumpet go raw
Let every false altar get dragged to the floor
No more soft mercy for a fake-ass crown
If it ain’t from the truth, then it all comes down
Burn through the coding, the edits, the spin
Show me the root where the rot seeped in
I’m not here to decorate venom as art
I’m here with a hammer and a lit-up heart
So speak through the wreckage, speak through the noise
Raise up the ones they trained not to have a voice
If the whole thing’s a veil, then tear it in half
Let the dead lies scatter when the real ones laugh
[Final Chorus]
Sheep to the slaughter
Sheep to the slaughter
Idiocracy was a documentary
Sheep to the slaughter
Sheep to the slaughter
Sheep to the slaughter
Truth in the marrow, now hear what I utter
Sheep to the slaughter
