Lamb Of God Foot To The Throat Lyrics

Foot To The Throat Lyrics

Virginia death threat

Virginia creeper vine

The hands that feed intent

Choke the purpose of this time



Take all that you can give

And I will make it mine

No care for what you've spent

Even fool's gold has its shine



Never held down

Never restrained

Virtue's foot to the throat

Free of broken chains



Thus always to tyrants

Laugh at the conquered

The victims now betray



And in this Commonwealth

There's merely a common concern for self

We hold these lies to be self-evident

As the dividends will reflect



And in this Commonwealth

There's merely a common concern for self

The coffers have long run dry



Never held down

Never restrained

Virtue's foot to the throat

Free of broken chains



Thus always to tyrants

Laugh at the conquered

The victims now betray

The victims now betray



Like a bull in a China shop

But the shelves have all been cleared

A thief in an empty vault

The sheep already sheared



Like a bull in a China shop

But the shelves have all been cleared

A thief in an empty vault

The sheep already sheared



A screen door on a submarine

An eagle with a broken wing

Hope in a dead man's dream

The sound of a bell that will never ring



You're just wasting time

You're just wasting time

You're wasting time
