Machine Head Tribute EP III

Now I Lay Thee Down

I want to know how it feels when we die can you take me under?
Dream over grieve no more and breathe one last time now I lay thee down
She watched me leave me bleeding on the floor as she takes me under
Dream over grieve no more and breathe one last time now I lay thee down

Godless mimicry white lights cemetery flashes of the angel's ivory wings
Images so many broke dreams of pain Terror Fear Crippling
Follow the light into the tunnel or will it end up in a black hole?
Follow the light into the tunnel dead in its end
What is love what is murder within the eye of the beholder
What have I done I've gone and killed the only one I love
How could I do this I'm screaming at God
Why do you curse me fuck it, load it, sever the day
Dream over grieve no more and breathe one last time now I lay thee down
Now I lay thee down underground

Sail Into The Black

We sail into the black

And all those secrets, lost in your eyes
And all those regrets, you hold inside
And all those memories, left by design
And all those mysteries, lost in your eyes
We sail into the black

And all those footsteps, washed in the tides
And all those droplets, blood into wine
And all those heartaches, tears that you’ve cried
And all those mistakes, washed in the tides
We sail into the black

I stare at the stricken the follies of man and the horror that lives in your eyes
And once were forgiven the mind explodes in waves of terror
Burn my eyes tear at the skin the crawling beneath will begin
Side by side pounding the heretic drums as we rise or we fall
And all these scars the nightmare it calls the fear and betrayal begin
We’ve come so far the shit we ingest with a mouthful of spit and protest
We sail into the black

The black candle fades go disappear lost and forever broken
Shattered like glass the scars and the sex the lies and the fables we tell
And all we are this fate is your choice regrets that you’ll take to the grave
These threads of silk that held this together rotting and curdled as milk
We sail into the black

Beneath The Silt

Sailing under sheets of rain the waves crashing inside my brain
A gray horizon lies below the oceans pulling undertow
Swallowed by the silence of this watery abyss
Save me I'm drowning beneath the silt
I'm sinking beneath the silt

Clouds of ashen paint the sky a black fog forces down the eyes
A casket floating out from shore depression closer evermore
Swallowed by the silence of a watery abyss
Save me I'm drowning beneath the silt
I'm sinking beneath

Climbing the walls climbing the walls
Beneath the silt beneath the silt
Swallowed by the silence of the watery abyss
Swallowed by the silence of grasping at the skies above
I'm drowning beneath the silt I'm sinking beneath the silt

Screaming At The Sun

You'll find me screaming at the sun it singes my eyes
The plan I devise, in this chess game to shatter the crook
And now the queen takes the rook you think that you can read me like a book
But you mistook the pushback, skull crack, now I take the pawn
The pattern's sliding off and now the bishop's gone
Woe this land it bares my hand of the final command
They see you blinded us, reminded us of all that's ugly
And if you let it in, the predator will leave you bloody

So take a look into my eyes and sharpen your gaze
Sharpen the blades 'cause the stakes have been raised
Kiss the ring and now the knight takes the king
Now the rank and file is to bring
The sacrificing, upside, downside, give me all your guns
I'm fucking crazy my mind is lost or won?
Hold your breath these wounds are fresh of this mate that I check
They see you blinded us, reminded us of all that's ugly
And if you let it in, the predator will leave you bloody

So we close off the din outside the window
No we won't normalize the tyrannizing
You'll find me screaming at the sun until my soul dies
You'll find me screaming now
They see you blinded us, reminded us of all that's ugly

 Blood For Blood

I bite the hand because this hand feeds off me
Devoid of emotion, it lives to cheat
Ignorance is bliss, and respect I gave you
Friend you did claim this too bad you can't speak the truth
Give respect because the rule is blood for blood

Beatings is what you'll inherit this time
Fast bait, your new name your pain is my shine
Pulverize and break determination
Pleasure I negate your pain brings me salvation
Give respect because the rule is blood for blood

I was born of tension
Anger came from frustration
I can't back down from aggression
Some hard knocks taught me this lesson
Give respect because the rule is blood for blood

Death Church

Well I look at justice in a different light
I been to jail, it didn't make me right
Try and conform, but won't be deaf, blind, dumb
Been beaten down, just harder I've become

Death church rising
Hate church rising
Lost church rising
Death church rising

Hey Jesus can't you help me with my pain
Mainline me some religion, keep me sane
Christ suffering upon my TV screen
Send in your money to the faith obscene

Strength, truth and honor, words I strive to live
Your faith's profane, it takes, never gives
Because I'm gonna die standing upon my feet
You're gonna die groveling on your knees
