Gone
Shoot me straight for the sun I wanna be the only one left Misdiagnosed condition Burnt beyond recognition Sink her straight through the floor She's not breathing anymore Choke in this atmosphere Nothing will be left here Gone. 02. Desolation Music & lyrics by Lamb of God
Spoken sideways and indirect
Without a single word left unchecked And by your own admission No one is ever above suspicion Defenses never to be let down The lies readily abound Gaping jaw tightly wound CHORUS In your desolation Still searching for nowhere Desolation Your living in nowhere Smoking gun, cause and effect Paradise lost, a beautiful wreck And to you I solemnly swear All I ever wanted was away from here All that for nothing, what a fucking waste of time I only took what was rightfully mine Seek and you shall find CHORUS The dying man might take you with him I swear to you I'll slit the difference All that for nothing, What a fucking waste of time 03. Ghost Walking Music & lyrics by Lamb of God
1,2,3
Do you remember when work was won, a fading promise in the light of the dawn. Bury this ember under a falling sky, the end of days are the reason to die. Obliteration never looked so divine. Holding your breath for the moment in time You lived through hell, now you're trying to die The skin is healed but your bleeding inside. Shots fired just to numb the pain There's no one left to save. I'm Blind on the Shining Path. Ghost walking in the Aftermath. Hypnotised 60 cycle hum The Broken Cadence of a Distant Drum. 21 to 1 I'm liking the odds, A Blood Junkie with a Lightning Rod, A Dirty Rig and a heavenly Nod, And soon you Wind Up Nowhere. Obliteration never looked so Divine Holding your breath for the moment in time You lived through hell, now your trying to die The skin is healed but your bleeding inside. Shots fired just to numb the pain There's no one left to save. There's no one left to save. There's no one left to save. You chase the dragon but it follows you home You lost the demon trace and broke their home Desolation Never Looked so Divine. Promise Yourself for the very last time You lived through hell, now your trying to die The skin is healed but your bleeding inside. Shots fired just to just to numb the pain There's no one left to save. There's no one left to save. Ohhh There's no one left. A Fever Dream There's no one left to save. Shots fired just to end the pain. There's no one left to save 04. Guilty Music & lyrics by Lamb of God
Never fear the truth, or lie correctly used
When everything you do comes back three times to you By any other name, the guilty still remain Suspended in the feign, pawn to his own intentions Still hidden in the fold The story bought and sold Commodified indoctrinate expendables into the splendid lie CHORUS Bound by the chain of lies you've wrapped around You're trapped in regression Dying in the face of the truth Stoic in silence we're blind inside the void Ruins remind us if all we've destroyed Dead rail, no way back from here The mainline to nowhere Still hidden in the fold The story bought and sold CHORUS You're just gluing your amber eyes shut As the world keeps spinning around your cage While you're waiting for the ghost to bite And that ghost will bite Still spinning in the veil Locked in beyond the pale Internalize and fabricate escapable into the deadly lie Bound by the chain of lies Filled with aggression, watch you die in the face of truth 05. The Undertow Music & lyrics by Lamb of God
You always needed people like me
Directions for your finger to point A crooked dealer's blaming spree I'm guaranteed to disappoint You're weak and scared and cutting raw deals But fortune always favors the bold I´ll bet it all and crush your bluff I´ll never yield nor even fold And I won´t shoulder the blame CHORUS Am the one who´s left to take the fall I fight the constant undertow You always needed a distraction A target for the stones that you thrown To draw attention to your actions I´m tailor made so lock & load Oh, you're telling tales You spineless coward Your word's not worth it's weight in shit Back against the wall, belligerent I won't shoulder the blame So high and mighty But when the bottom drops out You're gonna find me standing where you left me CHORUS Deal the lest hand, let the cards fall where they may From your castle made of sand you're looking down at me So high and mighty But when the bottom drops out You'll have to face me waiting where you left me 06. The Number Six Music & lyrics by Lamb of God
Sloth is the enemy of greatness
Reflection a scalpel to my mind. We strive as you leisurely criticize A free ride until you find that you've dug your own grave Lie by lie. Just a running mouth Poison words you throw about Drag you to your end The number six Leviathan. You've dug your own grave with your spite You've dug your own grave lie by lie A cancer that needs to be cut out Sweet slander the razor to your throat Trim the fat A loose end to be tied up and cast aside Left to find that you've dug your own grave with your spite Just a running mouth Poison words you throw about Drag you to your end The number six Leviathan. A relentless imposition by a self-fulfilling travesty From one who is just rotting there In slut's wool and zero history Aesthetic condemning Erratic condescending An empty barrel always makes the most noise And I begin to feel my hands my hands around your throat. Erratic condescending You've dug your own grave with your spite You've dug your own grave lie by lie A running mouth and poison words will be your end The number six Leviathan. Poison words you throw about Drag you to your end The number six Leviathan. You've dug your own grave You've dug your own grave The number six Leviathan. You've dug your own grave A running mouth You've dug your own grave and poison words You've dug your own grave will be your end The number six Leviathan. 07. Barbarosa Music & lyrics by Lamb of God
Instrumental
08. Invictus Music & lyrics by Lamb of God
Unconquered
Life is born of agony's strain Manifested in suffering Most live crippled by fear I'd rather walk off on bloody stumps until I've bled dry Yeah, we're all gonna die CHORUS You brand it a crisis I name i tan honor To face what arises To remain unconquered All the worst that I feared has come to pass And dispair is in an endless supply I dug my way to bottom of the bloody truth Buried beneath a spotles lie I'm sworn to stay the course that I alone have chosen Because we're all gonna die CHORUS I'm cauterized I'm gonna heat the blade I'm gonna ride this pain Unconquered Life's a fatal disease without a cure But as it kills me I'll stare right in it's eye There's no way out I'm sworn to stay the courset hat I alone have chosen So how will you die? CHORUS There's no way out Unconquered 09. Cheated Music & lyrics by Lamb of God
So inevitable another lie another reason to justify
Tearing it down Honesty such a novelty so we king ourselfs with a plastic crown Casualty of a daydream nation Close acquantance, no relation Search and destroy Dignity we left laying along the way To everyone's dismay predictable cliché Kindred enemies CHORUS The walking dead living a lie Ever get the feeling you've been cheated? So unvoidable another fight sell the ticket and crash the ride Burn it down A legacy of brutality So caught in the progress of weeding out The chopping Block starving for a neck Pointing fingers and stabing backs Never question, conformity The big take over under the way Much to our dismay A lucrative display Perpetual decay CHORUS Left to destroy themselves Yet somehow still alive Battling for the best position, posturing for recognition The best days thrown away In an ag of quarrel Butcher the memories Ever get the feeling you've been cheated? 10. Insurrection Music & lyrics by Lamb of God
When the walls fall around you is when you begin to find
That the depths you have found have become now too hard to climb You reconcile your pain in the loneliest refrain And crawl tied and bound to the one thing you can't leave behind CHORUS And start over again. This insurrection The same reflection. Perpetual And start over again and again and again and again This insurrection A broken voice without a word to live by Eyes slammed shut watch the world go by It should have seen way better than this You can't anticipate the thing that you miss And how long till you let it go Master unreality Nothing to show and in the end Tops the mountain of nowhere First in the line dying to get back there You can't get back there CHORUS First in the line to catch a glimps of the shrine The closest we ever got to divine Irrefutable indisputable infalliole impossible to deny 11. Terminally Unique Music & lyrics by Lamb of God
There's nothing new under the gun
Cognitive dissonance Wallow in sardonic fear while your will breaks like glass Throw on the blinders, ignore the signs Sink ever deeper, swallow the lie How far did you think that you could run? You crossed the last meridian As life passes you by Outside the fishbowl looking in Clarity to bear witness Oblivious and obstinate And you're a fucking mess Seal all the exits, tie down your hands Burn all the bridges, head in the sand How far did you think that you could run? You crossed the last meridian And it's all coming down now as the clock ticks on Your life is passing by Awaken Singing the same tired old song Predictable and somnabulant Suffering from terminal uniqueness When will you be awaken? Your life is passing by 12. To The End Music & lyrics by Lamb of God
I've held the hand of god
And I've ang the devil's song And when it comes my time no tears are gonna fall Buts ome will light the fire And some will mourn the one Left hanging for the ire of their departed son CHORUS Oh lord have mercy thank god you're gone Here's to the end, thank God you're gone They finally shoved you in the box they could never fit you in An empty cell forever locked So much for best intensions But some will load the gun And some will hone the knife Some will raise the fist as they recall your life We've waited for so long, thank god you're gone I've held the hand of god You'l l never erease the past or regain what's lost You're finally gone So far gone 13. Visitation Music & lyrics by Lamb of God
The path I set out on took a turn
When the axis shifted This is not the life I envisioned What's done is done the crime is committed Now the beast has come home to roost He returns with blood on his hands Caught in the trap of meeting The laws of supply reprimand My blood is boiling CHORUS I can't feel my own skin Tough I can see it crawling Can't expose all these sins But I can see them falling down There's no escape from building tension The pressure valve has been refitted A lost plot in constant revision A rising storm that's never abated You can't know enough till too much The envelope is decimated Too far gone now to reverse my course and be subjugated And my blood keeps boiling CHORUS This is a labor of hate This is how I choose to survive The only way I know to exist The road is hard and the cost is high But I was build for this My labor of hate CHORUS 14. King Me Music & lyrics by Lamb of God
I saw the world through the lens of a pinhole camera
I saw nothing. I was blind In between a black hole and a super nova is where you'll find me Imploding and expanding simultaneously No longer blind I'd been running away for so long When I finally caught myself there wasn't much left The script's last page is blank And the medicine is gone A sick monster, a twisted dark matter On a heavier trip than you can comprehend A tornado trying to mend the life it scattered Waiting for nothing to begin A flatline, my insides are turning out King me is killing me I keep walking past the places I was born in Now their faces are blank, shiny and dead I don't recognize a thing, I can't recall them A closed book that I can never read again A flatline, my insides are turning out The lights fade, this final war starts now King me is killing me All of that is ending now for I have arisen Survived myself somehow, dead and imprisoned I'm fighting to live if I am to see the day I swear I'll never sleep again I am no man's slave I wanted the fog to lift but I was living in a cloud Nostalgia is grinding the life from today The present always dies in future memories And king me is killing me Cut wide open and bleeding to death for all to see King me is killing me He's killing me He won't kill me I won't let him kill me He won't kill me 15. The Passing Music by Lamb of God

16. In Your Words Music & lyrics by Lamb of God
A sacred cash cow with sickly tits
Dripping temptation for hypocrites to death she's beaten The prosperous endlessly stating the obvious Caught in your words, sever the knot this time Somebody show me their true face Face me once as I leave all that I despise Face me as I unleash this hate refined Indict the blameless Transparent designs Pathetic and shameless Crucified A legend in his own mind, enthroned by lies A cheap Machiavelli plots his demise Caught in your words, sever the knot this time Somebody show me their true face Face me once as I leave all that I despise Face me as I unleash this hate refined Face me as I leave all this far behind Face me as I unleash this hate refined What once gave life Now infested with plague The lamb lies with maggots Blinded, gagged, betrayed What once gave life Now infested with plague The lamb lies with maggots The corpse bloated with rage 17. Set To Fail Music & lyrics by Lamb of God
You want to blame me for the way you hate yourself
You think you can find who you are in someone else Criticize to better your relative positioning You've got a long way to go So go and weave your tale of woe Convincing yourself it's so You're so set to fail Somewhere you've finally lost your way Only yourself left to betray A nameless heir apparent, paranoid despair You take great measure to appear like you don't care Precision and persuasion must precede the proper lie You've lost it before you began So go and weave your tale of woe Convincing yourself it's so you're so set to fail Somewhere you've finally lost your way Only yourself left to betray 18. Walk With Me In Hell Music & lyrics by Lamb of God
Pray for blood,
Pray for the cleansing, Pray for the flood, Pray for the end of this nightmare. This lie of a life can as quickly as it came dissolve. We seek only reprieve and welcome the darkness. The myth of a meaning so lost and forgotten (forgotten). Take hold of my hand, For you are no longer alone. Walk with me in hell. Pray for solace, Pray for resolve, Pray for a savior, Pray for deliverance, some kind of purpose. A glimpse of a light in this void of existence. Now witness the end of an age. Hope dies in hands of believers. Who seek the truth in the liar's eye. Take hold of my hand, For you are no longer alone. Walk with me in hell. Walk with me in hell Walk with me in hell Walk with me in hell Walk with me in hell Walk with me in hell Take hold of my hand, For you are no longer alone. Walk with me in hell Walk with me in hell Walk with me in hell You're never alone You're never alone You're never alone You're never alone You're never alone Walk with me in hell. 19. Hourglass Music & lyrics by Lamb of God
Privileged the chosen few
Blessed with our time in hell Witness a devine vision, the day we all fell still. Rapture of the dying age, a shattered hourglass Wrath of the warring gods and so this too shall pass. It's only getting worse, not worth a moment's regret Each dawn another curse, every breath a twisted blade What will be left behind in the ashes of the wake? An ill wind blows this way, the edge of the envelope burns Forbearance and my vengeance, payment for your intent Fear and death in the wings, in thrall of those fallen from grace Petty is as petty does, withness the mass disgrace. God forbid you read the signs, whatch for the meanings between the lines Gehenna has now arrived, no hindsight for the blind. Your trust has been misplaced, believed the lies told to your face Became another casualty and now it's to lat. You finally made it home, draped in the flag that you fell for. And so it goes The ashes of the wake It's only getting worse... 20. Now You've Got Something To Die For Music & lyrics by Lamb of God
Now you've got something to die for.
Infidel, Imperial Lust for blood, a blind crusade Apocalyptic, we count the days. Bombs to set the people free, blood to feed the dollar tree Flags for coffins on the screen, oil for the machine Army of the liberation, gunpoint indoctination The fires of sedition Fulfill the prophecy. Now you've got something to die for. Send the children to the fire, sons and daughters stack the pyre Stoke the flame of the empire, live to lie another day Face of hypocrisy, raping democracy Apocalyptic, we count the days. We'll never get out of this hole until we've dug our own grave And drug the rest down with us, the burning home of the brave Burn. Now you've got something to die for. 21. Ruin Music & lyrics by Lamb of God
The knowledge that seeking the favor of another
Means the murder of self. This is the resolution The end of all progress The death of evolution It bleeds all life away. Silence speeds the path to the streams of solace that run so few and narrow. Brooks that babble the sounds of torture. You will one day rise To flood the banks of the chosen. This is the art of ruin. This is the resolution The end of all progress The death of evolution It bleeds all life away. I will teach you all that I have mastered Fear. Pain. Hatred. Power. This is the art of ruin. 22. As The Palaces Burn Music & lyrics by Lamb of God
The fiends have gagged a generation of pacified fools
Bound by our greed a nation enslaved as corporate tools. Arise and raze the legacy of their lies To realize that this in itself is an ascension Towards the day we revolt. As the seeds you've cast away take hold War will be born. Rejoice, the age of the fall has begun We'll dance as the palaces burn. A shot gun blast into the face of deceit You'll gain your just reward. We'll not rest until the purge is complete You will reap what you've sown. My redemption lies in your demise. In such a world as this does one dare to think for himself? The paradox of power and peace will destroy itself To know the truth and live in fear of no man. To realize that this in itself is an ascension Toward the day we revolt. As the seeds you've cast away take hold War will be born. Rejoice, the age of the fall has begun We'll dance as the palaces burn. My redemption lies in your demise. Rejoice, the age of the fall has begun. We'll dance as the palaces burn. 23. Blacken The Cursed Sun Music & lyrics by Lamb of God
Seize the darkened day, there's only Hell to pay.
And no left to see this prodigal return. Sweet apathy's black toll, you'll mourn the traded soul. I'll dig a deeper hole, sanctity a breath away. Just a breath away. Blacken the cursed sun, You're not the only one. To have sunk so far and low, There is no tomorrow. A tragedy on display, a sickness for all to see, I will kill this part of myself that I hate And that I see in you. It was always mine anyways, There's somethings you can't take away. I choose not to feel a thing, Sanctity a breath away. Just a breath away. Blacken the cursed sun, You're not the only one. To have sunk so far and low, There is no tomorrow. Blacken the cursed sun, Blacken what's yet to be done. Blacken because now you know, There is no tomorrow. You're just a breath away. You're just a breath away. Better to die quick, fighting on your feet, Then to live forever, begging on your knees. Begging on your, begging on your Begging on your knees Can we still be saved? Hell, no! Does your God hold a place for us? Hell, no! Is there time to repent? Hell, no! Will we rise from the dead? Hell, no! Can these sins even be forgiven? Hell, no! Is there still hope for us? Hell, no! Were we ever even alive? Hell, no! Is any of this even real? Hell, no! 24. Laid To Rest Music & lyrics by Lamb of God
If there was a single day I could live... a single breath I could take
I'd trade all the others away. The blood's on the wall, so you'd might as well just admit it And bleach out the stains, commit to forgetting it. You're better off empty and blank, than left with a single pathetic trace of this Smother another failure, lay this to rest. Console yourself, you're better alone Destroy yourself, see who gives a fuck Absorb yourself, you're better alone Destroy yourself. I'll chain you to the truth, for the truth shall set you free I'll turn the screws of vengeance and bury you with honesty I'll make all your dreams come to life, then slay them as quickly as they came Smother another failure, lay this to rest. Console yourself, you're better alone Destroy yourself, see who gives a fuck Absorb yourself, you're better alone Destroy yourself, see who gives a fuck. Failure. If there was a day I could live, if there was a single breath I could take I'd trade all the others away. 25. Redneck Music & lyrics by Lamb of God
So goddamn easy to write this,
You make it spill on the page. So drunk on yourself, self-righteous, A laughing stock of your own fucking sage. But I ain't one to call names, Or throw stones in a house of glass. You try me. This is a motherfucking invitation The only one you could ever need. This is a motherfucking invitation. You try me. Just one time you got a reason, But you had nothing to lose. A blind preacher for the pin-eyed congregation, It must be easy to loathe. But I ain't one of those names, Or throw stones in a house of glass. You try me. This is a motherfucking invitation The only one you could ever need. This is a motherfucking invitation. You try me. You can tell the same lie a thousand times, But it never gets any more true, So close your eyes once more and once more believe That they all still believe in you. Just one time. This is a motherfucking invitation The only one you could ever need This is a motherfucking invitation Just one time This is a motherfucking invitation You try me Just one time You try me Just one time You try me You try me 26. Black Label Music & lyrics by Lamb of God
The human confrontation, I've build a phobia.
It takes my essence somewhere, Somewhere to take control. I may be far from rocking. I am the one alone. I may be far behind lines. And made them turn away. I want to know, hey you, watch out! I've made them turn to cripple, hey you, watch out! When i will know, who'll know, back fight! Why time would let me die to control. I fear nothing, why don't you know!? I rip my mind and why don't you bleed!? I fear no one, why you turn back!? I may not stop. My freedom can't contain but tell me, The pain I liberate, Riff hostility to anyone Has made us so much hate. I made them turn from hate but tell me The pain and suffering I made them turn from hate but tell me The pain and suffering I... know. |
