  • Stomping lines in international sand
    Feeding blood drinking habits of the Elephant Man
    Quench his thirst, when black water rises
    He takes you around toward the burning horizon

    Yeah, motherfucker, lets take a ride
    We're rollin' round irate, someone has got to die
    Trick or Treat, in dying need
    So roll the dice as we leave
    Cause it's 8 miles of pure luck with warm bags of

    Guaran-fucking-teed
    Someone will bleed
    Guaran-fucking-teed
    Someone will bleed

    Privatize to conceal all the lies
    Big Business is booming, like its the fourth of July
    No need for all the formalities, Jump the kangaroo corpse
    And flank beneath the trees

    Yeah, motherfucker, lets take a ride
    Running red lights in a green zone
    Someone has got to die
    (Pity me?) there's nothing here to see
    So throw the dice for me please, and let's
    Store the pint of blood to cash in to refund

    Guaran-fucking-teed
    Just sign the deed
    Guaran-fucking-teed
    Someone will bleed

    Someone has got to die
    Ours is not to reason why
    Ours is but to do if the pay rate's right
    Black liquid assets, fuck the Mujahideen
    Paint their picket fences Red with the American dream

    Lay your heavy hammer down
    Get the job done right
    Jacked up, and cocked in, to a firefight
    Covert reactions said you never saw me
    A glass parking lot in the American Dream
    Yeah

    They all die
    Fucking Murder

    Guaran-fucking-teed, Someone will bleed.
    Lay your heavy hammer down,
    Get the job done right.
    Jacked up, and cocked in, to a firefight.
    Covert reactions said you never saw me.
    A glass parking lot in the American Dream. Writer/s: CHRIS ADLER, DAVID RANDALL BLYTHE, JOHN CAMPBELL, MARK MORTON, WILL ADLER

  • Mike from Denver, Cothis is probably the song i like the least on wrath, but it is one hell of a headbanger.
  • Dan from Nas Whidbey Island, WaLamb of God has two sounds: earlier grindcore and then now more of a groove metal sound with big unison riffs and verse/chorus/bridge songwriting. I can't say I like one or the other sound better, it depends on what mood I'm in.
  • Nick from Cairns, AustraliaWrath might be the only lamb of god album in which i'll like every song on it. Then again most songs on their other albums are epic theres just some songs i've left behind simply cause i haven't gotten any time to listen to it lol. Nah this wrath cd is soundin really awesome and i'm not sayin its a good comeback cause sacrement's great as well. Randy improves on his vocals, Willie Adler and Mark morton still manages to entertain me with their unique guitar style's and sound (Keep up with the solo's!!!) plus Chris Adler and John Campbell still have an awesome rhythm (in my opinion). I guess if you listen to lamb of god then that means youre able to listen to new metallica stuff (like st.anger and death magnetic) if you hear the drums in most songs. Anyway just listen to 2:20-2:44 in this song and don't tell me you can't headbang to that. That is one of the best f***** breakdown's i've seen, or bridges, wateva ya call it. Song sounds a bit like pantera's f****** hostile if you ask me but its still great song.
