Lamb of God Lyrics for Song: Blood Junkie
 Lyrics for Album: As The Palaces Burn [2003]
 
 
 
 24902>A shallow little jackal of a man posing as a hawk
 
 Conniving opportunist
 
 Lease the blade the gun, the bomb in the name of justice
 
 A violent panacea for what ails the nation
 
 In advancement for the pig
 
 
 
 You'll not wrest the truth from my hands
 
 Eyes never closed clarity
 
 Clamped down in a grip so tight
 
 On ordinary horror
 
 
 
 Peering through a curtain of blood
 
 Retribution or vengeance it matters
 
 Not which as long as the pig stays on top of the ladder of bone
 
 His father has built
 
 
 
 Ashes to ashes to the dust
 
 Eaten spiced with ambivalence
 
 
 
 The nation swallows it all whole
 
 Weakened by their collective neck in the noose
 
 
 
 Commerce brings war
 
 Jihad has come to both sides
 
 Eye for an eye, fire for fire
 
 Raining death as the towers crumble
 
 
 
 This will never end, left without a choice by the fiscal elite
 
 War is set in motion by higher powers
 
 A pissing contest for the unknown
 
 Left bankrupt we all die inside
 
 As a couple jumps hand in hand to their death
 
 
 
 Wrapped in swaddling and laid in a dumpster
 
 Spoon fed shit doesn't even turn their stomachs
 
 Gaping mouths yawn for more abuse
 
 Someone needs to tip the nest
 
 The pig ascends as I sink deeper
 
 Seething misanthropic, waiting for my death
 
 
 
 The pig ascends as I sink deeper
 
 Seething misanthropic, waiting for my death
