Lamb Of God
ALBUMS / SONGS / LYRICS
The human condition is inherit claustrophobia. Compression of my own space made complete. I would rip out my own entrails by hand just to be alone. Insanity rolls total through this sphere. Ostracized for clarity of vision. A dream unrealized by solitude that i should descend into autonomy and know the pain of fellowship no more. I feel nothing but lack of space. Paradox of socialization results in duress. Rife with hostility, What has caused me so much hate? Humanity Exterminate with extreme prejudice
So goddamn easy to write this you make it spill on the page So drunk on your self, self-righteous The laughin stock on your own f_cking stage But I ain't one to call names or throw stones in a house of glass You try me This is a motherf_cking invitation The only one you could ever need This is a motherf_cking invitation You try me Just one time you got reason heard you had nothing to lose A blind preacher for the pined-eyed congregation it must be easy to lose But I ain't one to call names or throw stones in a house of glass You try me This is a motherf_cking invitation The only one you could ever need This is a motherf_cking 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 believe that they all still believe in you This is a motherf_cking invitation The only one you could ever need This is a motherf_cking invitation You try me Just one time
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 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 Oh... Now witness the end of an age Hope dies in hands of believers Who seek the truth in the liar's eyes 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
Broken, bones and the will Capacity to disappear in misery saves Soaking, pain as a thrill, hate to instill Compassion's a cage Forgiving the father Read the story on my skin I'll be the martyr Falling from his grace again Sunken, sooner or later We crawl our way back into our favorite hole Drunken, swallow the savior And follow him to hang from the highest pole Forgiving the father Read the story on my skin Tell me more about the man I should have been, yeah! I'll be the martyr Falling from his grace again This is where the end begins
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. In your desolation Still searching for nowhere Desolation In your desolation Still searching for nowhere Desolation You're 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. The dying man might take you with him Until then I'll split the difference All that for nothing, what a fucking waste of time. I'm gonna take what is rightfully mine. All that for nothing, what a fucking waste of time The dying man might take you with him I swear to you I'll split the difference All that for nothing what a fucking waste of time.
Do you remember? When word was bond A fleeting promise in the light of the dawn Barren December under a falling sky The end of days and a reason to die Obliteration never looked so divine Holding your breath for a moment in time You lived through hell Now you’re trying to die The skin is healed But you’re bleeding inside Shots fired just numb to the pain There’s no one left to save Night blind On a shining path Ghost walking in the aftermath Hypnotized 60 cycles 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 still wind up nowhere Obliteration never looked so divine Holding your breath for a moment in time You lived through hell Now you’re trying to die The skin is healed But you’re bleeding inside Shots fired just numb to the pain There’s no one left to save There’s no one left to save There’s no one left to save You chased the dragon and followed you home You’re lost in fever , dreams and broken hope Decimation never looked so divine Promise yourself for the very last time You lived through hell Now you’re trying to die The skin is healed But you’re bleeding inside Shots fired just numb to the pain There’s no one left to save There’s no one left to save There’s no one left to save A fever dream There’s no one left to save Shots forever and the pain There’s no one left to save
