Choke Sermon — Lamb Of God

Sermon sung me slow to sleep Faster if I had a choice With every breath another death Still so in love with your own voice Idle threats to hide regrets Excuses serve to bide the time Cover tracks, double back We summon silence so divine

Greeted with a thundering absence of applause

Choke on your own words Lies are venom in your veins Burn from the inside And never speak my name

Jesus complex, gag reflex Trigger happy redundancy No thrill, no chase, no saving grace Hypnotic in monotony

Loaded with a salt rock shot You say you're everything you're not What might have been is all you've got From here and now you're dead to me

Greeted with a thunderous absence of applause

Choke on your own words Lies are venom in your veins Burn from the inside And never speak my name

Nothing will ever erase Or undo your disgrace A lonely self-embrace They've long forgotten you Still cling to what it was A lost and hopeless cause Forever mourning your loss They've long forgotten you

Murdered slowly in minute increments of time Pissing up a rope Another moment passes by

Choke on your own words Lies are venom in your veins Burn from the inside And never speak my name
