Still Echoes - Lamb Of God

A thousand heads cut clean across their necks

Right down the hall from me

The reich’s relentless blade, thirsty and shining red

Still echoes of their screams

This is a tarnished heirloom

Passed down through iron fists

A shameful house of doom, a legacy of collapse

Built on a painful truth

A thousand years of failure

A thousand years they bled

To the bear, the blitzkrieg, and the holy father

They just bowed their heads

They meekly did their time

Counting the days

While harnessed to their rusty shackles

Forever occupied, folded the crimson star

The rabbits turned to jackals

(Still echoes of their screams)

Still echoes of their screams

This is a tarnished heirloom

Passed down through iron fists

A shameful house of doom, a legacy of collapse

Built on a painful truth

A thousand years of failure

A thousand years they bled

To the bear, the blitzkrieg, and the holy father

They just bowed their heads

Soviet hangover, eastern bloc

And dirty money still flows through locks

A killing ground of rebels, black marketeers

Restrained, but there’s no resistance here

South-east Asia in a Euro cell block

Saigon’s children conceal what they’ve got

The opium trail runs west through here

They’re selling disease to erase all your fears

(Still echoes of their screams)

Still echoes of their screams

A thousand years of failure

A thousand years they bled

To the bear, the blitzkrieg, and the holy father

They just bowed their heads

I won’t bow my head

(Still echoes of their screams)

I won’t bow my head
