Lamb Of God - Checkmate lyrics
[Lamb Of God - Checkmate lyrics]
I didn't do it yet i got the DI
I didn't do it yet it's to a click, Mark!
Alright, sweet one, two, three, four
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 facade
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
