An Extra Nail For Your Coffin Lyrics
At a loss for something different to say,
I've said everything, we've said it all before.
An extra nail for your coffin.
I'm going to ride that horse we've beaten to death,
And deliver its stinking carcass to your doorstep.
A gift from all the dead children,
That are the progeny of your ballistic
union.
Borrowing from Peter to rape Paul,
No news is good news, but I've got some news for you.
Fetch me a rope, lynch mob of one.
An extra nail for your coffin.
Certain blood has been shed for uncertain reasons.
You will never quiet this storm,
A cold wind to chill your bones.
I bring the hammer down.
Borrowing from Peter to rape Paul,
No news is good news, but I've got some news for you.
Fetch me a rope, lynch mob of one.
I've said everything, we've said it all before.
I'm going to ride that horse we've beaten to death,
And deliver its stinking carcass to your doorstep.
A gift from all the dead children,
union.
No news is good news, but I've got some news for you.
Fetch me a rope, lynch mob of one.
A cold wind to chill your bones.
I bring the hammer down.
No news is good news, but I've got some news for you.
Fetch me a rope, lynch mob of one.

13Lood JuNkiE, are you crazy. This album rocks.
obviously its about pres. bush screwing everyone, including the american people... "Borrowing from peter to rape paul"
I knew I wouldn't get much people to comment on this song. If you want this rare song im me JuFu3.
About the anti Bush thing: this line can refer to the war with Afghanistan/Iraq (or just Iraq):
Certain blood has been shed for you uncertain reasons.
This song is about how everyone is going to bring down Bush from power for the mistakes he has made.
Second half of this song is awesome and that guitar solo at about 3min14 is bad-ass
It's basically his lone fight against the ones fucking us in the ass (our governments) "A lynch mob of one" " A gift from all the dead childeren"
Only good song off of ashes IMO
both times he says "lynch mob of one" are bad ass.
13Lood JuNkiE, this isnt off Ashes Of The Wake, its off Sacrament lol.
That aside, this is the best off of Sacrament. I love the ending to it.
it is off of ashes of the wake, japanese release only though, check the lamb of god website. it is one of my favorite lamb of god songs, but all of their songs are great.
