Lamb Of God - Omerta lyrics

Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward. Whoever cannot take care of themself without that law is both. For a wounded man shall say to his a**ailant, 'If I live, I will k** you. If I die, You are forgiven.' Such is the rule of honour. Broken the paradigm an example must be set Invoke the Siren's song and sign the d**h warrant. This id what has been wrought for 30 pieces of silver The tongues of men and angels bought by a beloved betrayer. 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. 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 is removed from the registry St. Peter greets with empty eyes then turns and locks the gate. 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. 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. Sing for me now.
