Judas Goat

You led me by the nose, trailing just behind you Through shadow, with my heart aflame I tried to shake a sense of inner dread But I kept up with you just the same We string along, gaze to the ground You knowingly show the way There's safety in numbers, the kids are all told You're never safe as a stray You wound around to spin my head Hoping I would lose my way You'd think I found the obvious I only found today (Chorus) You walk around to draw us in To draw your blade across our throats You lead us on, you know the way To our doom, you Judas Goat Huddling up, view to the sky Are we finally here? Something is wrong, terribly long A chute to the slaughter
