Lamb of God
Album • 2006
(Pray) (Pray) (Pray) (Pray) Pray for blood Pray for the cleansing Pray for the flood Pray for the end of this nightmare This lie of a life came As quickly as it can 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 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

Rise Store-bought attitude and spit A sugarcoated piece of shit An instant rebel, just add greed Another useless commodity Broken glass and a broken jaw Lies are told in a Southern drawl Poorhouse poverty's your schtick The real thing would kill you quick Rise Again, we will rise Rise Again, we will rise Blood and fire used to fill the night Burned and drowned by our very lives You missed a sinking boat by years Dollar signs, crocodile tears It's over now and long has been Those days are gone, won't come again Another name crossed off the list The real thing would kill you quick Rise Again, we will rise Rise Again, we will rise There's nothing for you to fight against You're so unreal, it's evident You'll never be one of our kind This ain't yours, fuck you, don't try Ain't yours, fuck you, don't try Ain't yours, fuck you, don't try This ain't yours, so fuck you, don't try This ain't yours, fuck you, don't try This was never yours, fuck you, don't try The bridge was burnt before you could cross You reap the benefits of what's lost Go home, son; hang your costume up A goddamn insult to the rest of us A thousand-yard stare across the South A full belly and a lying mouth Momma's boy plays heretic The real thing would kill you quick, bitch Rise Again, we will rise Rise Again, we will rise There's nothing for you to fight against You're so unreal it's evident You'll never be one of our kind This ain't yours, fuck you, don't try Rise Well, fuck you, don't even try Rise Well, fuck you, your time is nigh Rise Fuck you, I've had enough Rise Well, fuck you, your time is up Rise Well, fuck you, don't even try Rise Well, fuck you, your time is nigh! Rise Fuck you, I've had enough Rise Well, fuck you, your time is up

Woah! So goddamn easy to write this You make it spill on the page So drunk on yourself, self-righteous The laughingstock of your own fucking stage 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 Heard you had nothing to lose A blind preacher for the pin-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 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

Somewhere between an excuse and a lie You found something that you believe So proud, I guess I can't imagine why Three cheers for what we used to be Pathetic, wasted Soulless, compromised Sleepwalking the minefield Shit talking, it crumbles around you It comes back around Somewhere between illusion and denial You'll drown in your own sympathy Profound, at least you thought so at the time A ghost of who you used to be Pathetic, wasted Soulless, compromised Pathetic, wasted Soulless, compromised Sleepwalking the minefield Shit talking, it crumbles around you It comes back around, it comes back around Sleepwalking the minefield Shit talking, it crumbles around you It comes back around Pathetic, wasted Soulless, compromised Pathetic, wasted Soulless, compromised Pathetic, wasted Soulless, compromised Pathetic, wasted Soulless, compromised Pathetic, wasted Soulless, compromised Pathetic, wasted Soulless, compromised Pathetic, wasted Soulless, compromised

Virginia death threat Virginia creeper vine The hands that feed intent Choke the purpose of this time Take all that you can give And I will make it mine No care for what you've spent Even fool's gold has its shine Never held down, never restrained Virtue's foot to the throat, free of broken chains Thus always to tyrants Laugh at the conquered, the victims now betray And in this Commonwealth There's merely a common concern for self We hold these lies to be self-evident As the dividends will reflect And in this Commonwealth There's merely a common concern for self The coffers have long run dry Never held down, never restrained Virtue's foot to the throat, free of broken chains Thus always to tyrants Laugh at the conquered, the victims now betray The victims now betray Like a bull in a china shop But the shelves have all been cleared A thief in an empty vault The sheep already sheared Like a bull in a china shop But the shelves have all been cleared A thief in an empty vault The sheep already sheared A screen door on a submarine An eagle with a broken wing Hope in a dead man's dream The sound of a bell that will never ring Oh, you're just wasting time Oh, you're just wasting time You're wasting time

The river I'm bound to be found in (Found in) A rope chosen, bound for the hang When I'm blind and I think I see everything (Everything) Convincing myself again This god that I worship (A faded reflection) This demon I blame (A flickering flame) Conspire as one, exactly the same It's exactly the same Descending To never recover the pieces To all that we've lost Recover The pieces lost The pieces To all we've lost I shudder to think of the consequence It's blasphemy, simple and true The tragic protagonist torments Convincing myself again This god that I worship (A faded reflection) This demon I blame (A flickering flame) Conspire as one, exactly the same It's exactly the same Descending To never recover the pieces To all that we've lost Descending To never recover the pieces To all that we've lost (Recover) The pieces lost The pieces To all we've lost This god that I worship This demon I blame Conspire as one, exactly the same It's exactly the same It's exactly the same It's exactly the same

Seize the darkened day, there's only hell to pay. And no one 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 anyway, there's some things 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. Better to die quick fighting on your feet, Than to live forever begging on your knees. Can we still be saved? Does your god hold a place for us? Is there time to repent? Will we rise from the dead? Can these sins even be forgiven? Is there still hope for us? Were we ever even alive? Is any of this even real? Hell no.

This is a mean and cold town I hate this fucking place Watch the rats as they all drown Dying slowly day by day Decrepit and falling down Cesspool of human waste Swallow profits in deep Now, in death, you'll finally know the taste There are no souls left here to save Forgotten, lost angels, long disgraced You fucking hypocrite But hooks in lips, they do not lie Compassion served not on your plate How many of them have you watched die? I can't sing you a happy song I can't write you a sing-along The only catchy hook I've got Is the one in my bleeding gut Burn it down Burn it down There are no souls left here to save Forgotten, lost angels, long disgraced Dead stares, dead eyes Choked hopes and vacant minds Blank words, blank lives The end result of endless lies There's no angels here To get lost in the first place Jackhammer a fault line Pray for earthquakes Mulholland's on fire And my cig started it '92 should have burnt this fucker down We're here to finish it I'm not impressed by much here Much less what you have to say Don't give a fuck who you know I just want to leave this hellhole Know that you mean nothing to me Nor the lies that slip from your teeth Won't piss on you if you're on fire One more self-important liar Burn it down Burn it down There are no souls left here to save Forgotten, lost angels, long disgraced Burn it (Burn it, burn it) Burn it (Burn it, burn it) Burn it (Burn it, burn it) Burn it down

Down, chemical sacrament Blasphemous prayer Deliver me from this So serene apocalypse Just make me fucking numb Deaf, blind and fucking dumb Return to sacred sleep This could be my requiem And I'll feel no pain This could be my requiem But don't bury me too deep Drain infected brine Sickened cesspool shell of mine Strap up the hands of time And push the soul into the vein Just make me fucking numb Deaf, blind and fucking dumb Return to sacred sleep This could be my requiem And I'll feel no pain This could be my requiem But don't bury me too deep "And we had better not have Any of our children left when it's over 'Cause they'll parachute in here on us Because we are not committing suicide It's a revolutionary act ...Calm, let's get calm We had nothing we could do, we can't We can't separate ourselves from our own people It's not to be feared, it is not to be feared It's a friend, it's a friend Let's be done with the agony of it It's far, far harder to have to watch you Every day die slowly And from the time you were a child To the time you get gray, you're dying Mother, mother, mother, mother, mother Please, mother, please, please, please, don't... Lay down your life with your child, but don't do this And we had better not have any of our children left when it's over Lay down your life with your child Oh, God almighty, God almighty..."

She's a slack one, born of greed Speaking endless words, long and empty A beggar who still wants to choose A dethroned queen still demands her due If you want something for nothing, you take what you get A virgin whore in a dirty wedding dress Scream for salvation, beating on death's door But just be careful what you wish for There's a bloodstain on the ceiling But you're the only duck in the shooting gallery Trying to look out a bricked-in window Your destiny lies in the alley below Trying to see yourself in a shattered mirror When all else fails, she holds you with broken arms There's poison in her veins, but the bitch comes for free A quick fix for all that you think that you need Scream for salvation, beating on death's door But just be careful what you wish for The patron saint of fools answers all your requests She's all yours now, so deal with it She's all yours now, she's all yours, all yours She's all yours now, she's all yours, all yours She's all yours now, she's all yours, all yours She's all yours now, she's all yours, all yours She's all yours now, she's all yours, you whore Deal with it She's all yours now, she's all yours, all yours She's all yours now, she's all yours, all yours She's all yours now, she's all yours, you whore Deal with it There's no shoulder left to cry wolf on You're tied in knots that can't be undone No more warnings will fall on deaf ears You lied too many times, now no one cares No one cares No one cares, liar No one cares No one cares An empty promise with a heart of tin Her crooked smile beguiles, and it draws you within The hope for something more, all that you wish for A kick to the head and a boot to the door Chasing a dragon in a lady's clothes A paper trail ends in choking smoke But you know that you lit the match yourself Play the burning cards that you dealt Scream for salvation, beating on death's door But just be careful what you wish for The patron saint of fools answers all your request She's all yours now, so deal with it She's all yours now, so deal with it She's all yours now so deal with it Broken Broken Broken Broken Broken Broken
