Still Echoes Lyrics - Vii: Sturm Und Drang - Lamb Of God

A thousand heads cut clean across their necks 

Right down the hall from me 

The Reich's relentless blade 

Thirsty and shining red 

Still echoes of their screams 

This is a tarnished heirloom 

Passed down through iron fists 

A shameful house of doom 

A legacy of collapse built on a painful truth 

A thousand years of failure 

A thousand years they bled 

To the bear, the blitzkrieg, and the Holy Father 

They just bowed their heads 

They meekly did their time 

Counting the days while harnessed to their rusty shackles 

Forever occupied 

Folded the crimson star 

The rabbits turned to jackals 

(Still echoes of their screams) 

(Still echoes of their screams) 

This is a tarnished heirloom 

Passed down through iron fists 

A shameful house of doom 

A legacy of collapse, built on a painful truth 

A thousand years of failure 

A thousand years they bled 

To the bear, the blitzkrieg, and the Holy Father 

They just bowed their heads 

Soviet hangover, Eastern Bloc 

And dirty money still flows through locks 

A killing ground of rebels, black marketeers 

Restrained but there's no resistance here 

Southeast Asia in a Euro cellblock 

Saigon's children conceal what they've got 

The Opium Trail runs west through here 

They're selling disease to erase all your fears 

(Still echoes of their screams) 

(Still echoes of their screams) 

A thousand years of failure 

A thousand years they bled 

To the bear, the blitzkrieg, and the Holy Father 

They just bowed their heads (still echoes of their screams) 

I won't bow my head (still echoes of their screams) 

I won't bow my head
