bring your daughter... to the slaughter

Singer:iron maiden

honey it's getting close to midnight

and all the myths are still in town

true love and lipstick on your linen

bite the pillow make no sound

if there's some living to be done

before your life becomes your tomb

you'd better know that i'm the one

so unchain your back door invite me around

bring your daughter

bring your daughter to the slaughter

let her go

let her go

let her go

honey it's getting close to daybreak

the sun is creeping in the sky

no patent remedies for heartache

just empty words and humble pie

so get down on your knees honey

assume an attitude

you just pray that i'll be waiting

cos you know i'm coming soon

so pick up your foolish pride

no going back

no where

no way

no place to hide
