Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man
is either a fool or a coward
Whoever cannot take care of themselves
without that law is both
For a wounded man shall say to his assailant
'If I live, I will kill you.
If I die, You are forgiven.
Such is the rule of honour.

Lamb Of God - Omerta

Broken the paradigm an example must be set
Invoke the Siren's song and sign the death warrant.
This id 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 is 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.
