Lamb Of God - Requiem lyrics
[Lamb Of God - Requiem lyrics]
Down, chemical sacrament blasphemous prayer
Deliver me from this so serene apocalypse
Just make me fucking numb
Deaf, blind and fucking dumb
Return to sacred sleep!
This could be my requiem
And I'll feel no pain
This could be my requiem
But don't bury me too deep!
Drain infected brine
Sickened cesspool shell of mine
Strap up the hands of time
And push the soul into the vain
Just make me fucking numb
Deaf, blind and fucking dumb
Return to sacred sleep!
This could be my requiem
And I'll feel no pain
This could be my requiem
But don't bury me too deep!
"And we had better not have any of
Our children left when it’s over
'cause they’ll parachute in here on us
Because we are not committing suicide
It’s a revolutionary act! Calm
Let's get calm
We had nothing we could do, we can't
We can't separate ourselves from
Our own people
It’s not to be feared, it is not
To be feared! It's a friend, it's a friend
Let’s be done with the agony of it
Far, far harder to have to watch
You every day die slowly
And from the time you were a child to
The time you get gray you're dying
Mother, mother, mother, mother, mother
Please, mother, please
Please, please, don't lay down your
Life with your child, but don't do this
And we had better not have any of
Our children left when it's over
Lay down your life with your child
Oh, God almighty, God almighty…"
Sink, suffer, self-destruct
Rise stronger, reconstruct
Sink, suffer, self-destruct
Rise stronger, reconstruct
Dispose discard
Deny and I will feel no pain
Deliver me from this so serene apocalypse
Just make me fucking numb
Deaf, blind and fucking dumb
Return to sacred sleep!
This could be my requiem
And I'll feel no pain
This could be my requiem
But don't bury me too deep!
Drain infected brine
Sickened cesspool shell of mine
Strap up the hands of time
And push the soul into the vain
Just make me fucking numb
Deaf, blind and fucking dumb
Return to sacred sleep!
This could be my requiem
And I'll feel no pain
This could be my requiem
But don't bury me too deep!
"And we had better not have any of
Our children left when it’s over
'cause they’ll parachute in here on us
Because we are not committing suicide
It’s a revolutionary act! Calm
Let's get calm
We had nothing we could do, we can't
We can't separate ourselves from
Our own people
It’s not to be feared, it is not
To be feared! It's a friend, it's a friend
Let’s be done with the agony of it
Far, far harder to have to watch
You every day die slowly
And from the time you were a child to
The time you get gray you're dying
Mother, mother, mother, mother, mother
Please, mother, please
