Blood Of The Scribe Lyrics
All of this comes crashing down. Cornerstone's gone
Sleepless. Hopeless. No end in sight
Ink well has run dry, fill it with blood of the scribe
Rest comes easy to the guiltless
The vampire laments as he prays for the sun
Doom, despair, tragedy are the tools of the trade
Cut to the bone, rob the grave
Unearth the stone, lay to waste
Defile the tomb, rip the page
Strip mine the vein, lay to waste
Frayed at the edge, flat lined. The anvil cracks
The hammer relentlessly comes down
A new pariah is born
Chastisement lays you down to sleep
Tucks you in with bloody kisses
Gifts of nightmares bitter sweet
Type A negative shuts me down
Catch phrase will be the death of me
Is this not what you came to see?
What, are you not entertained?
Climb the walls till nails bleed
Rip the hair, tear the seams, break the glass
Head in hands, bell tolls endlessly
No end in sight.
Sleepless. Hopeless. No end in sight
Ink well has run dry, fill it with blood of the scribe
Rest comes easy to the guiltless
The vampire laments as he prays for the sun
Doom, despair, tragedy are the tools of the trade
Cut to the bone, rob the grave
Unearth the stone, lay to waste
Defile the tomb, rip the page
Strip mine the vein, lay to waste
Frayed at the edge, flat lined. The anvil cracks
The hammer relentlessly comes down
A new pariah is born
Chastisement lays you down to sleep
Tucks you in with bloody kisses
Gifts of nightmares bitter sweet
Type A negative shuts me down
Catch phrase will be the death of me
Is this not what you came to see?
What, are you not entertained?
Climb the walls till nails bleed
Rip the hair, tear the seams, break the glass
Head in hands, bell tolls endlessly
No end in sight.

Great New Lamb of god \m/
is "...Bloody Kisses...Type A Negative..." an allusion to the Type-O album?
this is one of my favorites too jhoo. so i'll make a comment.
first, egghead, not all blood means type-o. lots of songs talk about blood. try finding a true metal or hardcore album that never uses the word blood.
I love the vampire preys for your soul pun.
and this song is about depression and its awesome. I love the deviations from politics in Ashes of the Wake
This song has fuckall to do with the government. I quite like the riffs in this song though.
doesnt matter wht its about.....its kickass \m/ >_< \m/
oh and when he says "laid to waste" it still sends a chill down my spine
I think this is yet another song about the politics that goes on in America."Rest comes easy to the guiltless" the head leaders can lie and manipulate the public and knowing its wrong they can still sleep at night no caring about it."Doom, despair, tragedy are the tools of the trade" This is what are stupid ass fucking president use to get us to agree to go to war in iraq."rob the grave" the government will rob or do anything to hide the truth. even denying that someone existed.
I have to agree with ferry on this one. I really like the lyrics to this song. This song is one of my favorites, about half this cd is a favorite song to me, LOG has some good stuff.
Why does everyone think the only thing Lamb of God write about is politics? Yeah, sure, we all hate Bush, get over it.
I'd say this one is about depression for sure, MAYBE about suicide.
"Ink well has run dry, fill it with blood of the scribe" "Cut to the bone"
