Lyrics Lamb of God

Lamb of God

Checkmate

Watch the gears grind off their teeth

The screeching halt machine digging heels in disbelief

Two reactional identities, opposing policies

A bait-and-switch routine

Double-takes and double-speak

Still scripting the façade

Asphyxiate and choke the truth

All hail the money god

Repeat, echo, refrain

It's all the same

So deafening

Repeat, echo, refrain

A consequence

We asked for this

Repeat, echo, refrain

No, never again

The American scream

A coup d'état on full display, a liar's sick charade

A traitor's grand parade

Narcissistic masquerades for those without a say

Systematic disarray

Divide and conquer and close them in

And bury secrets deep

Make America hate again

And bleed the sheep to sleep

Repeat, echo, refrain

It's all the same

So deafening

Repeat, echo, refrain

A consequence

We asked for this

Repeat, echo, refrain

No, never again

The American scream

(Scream)

You try to pick the lesser of

But evil doesn't come in twos

Bellicose and balkanized

A sinking ship of fools

So kiss the hangman as you drop

The rotting corpse of decency

Just another casualty of the American scream

Scream

(The American scream)

Repeat, echo, refrain

It's all the same

So deafening

Repeat, echo, refrain

A consequence

We asked for this

Repeat, echo, refrain

No, never again

The American scream

Never again
