Omerta lyrics

Artist  : Lamb Of God 
Song : Omerta



 Send "Omerta" Ringtone to your Cell 

 <Intro>

Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man
is either a fool or a coward. Whoever cannot take
care of himself without that law is both. For a
wounded man shall say to his assalent, "If I
live I will kill you, if I die you are
forgiven". Such is the Rule of Honor.



<Verse>

Broken the paradigm an example must be set.

Invoke the Siren's song and sign the death
warrant.

This is what has been wrought for 30 pieces of
silver.

The tongues of men and angels bought by a beloved
betrayer.



<Chorus>

I am the result, what's better left unspoken.

Violence begins to mend, what was broken.

You've been talking, I've been all ears.



<Verse>

Words meant to dwell in darkness shall never see
the light of day.

Words can be broken so can bones, execute the
mandate.

Mouth full of dirt your name removed is from the
registry.

St. Peter greets with empty eyes then turns and
locks the gate.



<Chorus>

I am the result, what's better left unspoken.

Violence begins to mend, what was broken.

You've been talking, I've been all ears.

Omerta.



<Outro>

Cheaply venal, stupidly verbose.

A slip of the tongue, a slit of the throat.

Six feet under with no marker. 

Keep my name from your mouth forever.

Free speech for the living, dead men tell no
tales.

Your laughing finger, will never point again.

Omerta.

Omerta.

Sing for me now.
