Omerta Lyrics - Lamb Of God

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 will shall say to his assailant 

"If I live, I will kill you. If I die, you are forgiven" 

Such is the rule of honor 

Broken the paradigm, an example must be set 

Invoke the siren's song and sign the death warrant 

This 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 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 

Omerta 

Sing for me now
