Lamb Of God Tribute EP

Hourglass

Privileged, a chosen few blessed with our time in hell
Witness a divine 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 twisting 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 you intent
Fear and death in the wings, in thrall of those fallen from grace
Petty is as petty does, witness the mass disgrace.
God forbid you read the signs, watch for 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 too late.
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

 Again We Rise

Store-bought attitude and spit a sugar-coated 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.
Poor-house poverty's your schtick 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.
Fuck you, don't even try fuck you, your time is nigh.
Fuck you, I've had enough fuck you, your time is up.

Blood and fire used to fill the night burnt 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.

This ain't yours, fuck you, don't try this ain't yours, fuck you, don't try
This 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 fully belly and a lying mouth.
Mama's boy plays heretic the real thing would kill you quick

We Die Alone

A moment in time worthy only of solitude a stranger not meant for another to see.
Are we the abandoned are we the deserter lived in the night so his wickedness way.
The faces light up their screens as the wealthy cash in on the war.
The body counts rise, the ratings will soar.
Another deceiver the liar, the patriot counting the lies and keeping the score.
Look at the light based on faith that deserts you.
You are the hunted, the victim, the prey and the fallen.
We die alone.

A lamb in the line has been lead to the slaughter another to join all the ghosts from before
Another believer, another casualty can't tell the way out from a drain to the floor.
Look at the light based on faith that deserts you.
You are the hunted, the victim, the prey and the fallen.
We die alone.

Condemn The Hive

Soon come a burning soon come a reaving,
Spare the rod, spoil the child resume the righteous beating.
Hubris has been spoon-fed to you on a silver platter,
The weak will run weeping delusion shattered.
No one owes you a goddamn thing.

Bloated with pride, you're privileged once,
A walking portrayal, your life's fucking done,
Bloated with pride, the privileged one,
Condemn the hive.

The well's run dry,
Narcissist fills it with tears of blood.
Poison Juno's choking lapdog deepen the cut.
No one cares what the fuck you think.

Say goodbye, worthless beginners severed all reason, in a fractured mirror,
Solid stares, uneven high expectations a generations entitlement comes undone,
Your life is fucking done your pitiful life condemning the hive
So feeble inside condemning the hive condemning the hive.

The Undertow

You always needed people like me directions for your fingers 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 favours the bold
I'll bet it all and crush your bluff I'll never yield nor ever fold.
And I won't shoulder the blame.
I 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 and load
You're telling tales you spineless coward your word is not worth its 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.
I am the one who's left to take the fall I fight the constant undertow.

Deal the last 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're gonna find me standing where you left me.
I am the one who's left to take the fall I fight the constant undertow.

Delusion Pandemic

Allocate your future to the delegates relegate your muses to the surrogates
Long green apron strings that end in hooks sunk deep, written off, and on the books
Ripped off, a weak derivative culture disposable, nothing's built to last
Whipped dogs, a bleak cognitive future ineptitude is reaching critical mass

A generation of mockingbirds you are being herded by the wolves
A generation of mockingbirds feeding yourself to the wolves
This is the rise of our demise fucked up and uncivilized
This is the rise of our demise you paint a target right between your eyes
It's imminent, the rise of your demise sink or swim
It's all around, the rise of your demise sink or swim

Collateral damage in the aggregates structural analysis of duplicates
Errors of illusion, clouded perspectives terrorized delusions and end game objectives
Locked out, a stiff tactical suture a victim complex now reality
Blocked ground, a swift statistical maneuver persecution of the self-made weak

And now is the moment when everything can change
You are completely responsible for your own life
And no one is coming to save you from yourself
So stop blaming your problems on any and everything else
It does not matter one tiny fucking bit how unfair you think the world is
It's only what you do, right here, right now, right this fucking instant that matters
It's your choice now sink or swim.
