Omerta

Lyrics

Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward
 Whoever cannot take care of himself without that law is both
 For a wounded man shall say to his assailant
 "If I live I will kill you, if I die you are forgiven"
 Such is the rule of honor
 ♪
 Broken the paradigm, an example must be set
 Invoke the siren's song and sign the death warrant
 This is what has been wrought for 30 pieces of silver
 The tongues of men and angels bought by a beloved betrayer
 I am the result, what's better left unspoken
 Violence begins to mend, what was broken
 You've been talking, I've been all ears
 Words meant to dwell in darkness shall never see the light of day
 Words can be broken so can bones, execute the mandate
 Mouth full of dirt, your name is removed from the registry
 Saint Peter greets with empty eyes then turns and locks the gate
 I am the result, what's better left unspoken
 Violence begins to mend, what was broken
 You've been talking, I've been all ears
 Omerta
 ♪
 Cheaply venal, stupidly verbose
 A slip of the tongue, a slit of the throat
 
 Six feet under with no marker
 Keep my name from your mouth forever
 ♪
 Free speech for the living, dead men tell no tales
 Your laughing finger, will never point again
 ♪
 Omerta
 ♪
 Omerta
 Sing for me now
