Omerta

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.
