Lamb Of God - Checkmate Lyrics

Watch the gears grind off their teeth
The screeching halt machine digging heels in disbelief
Two reactional identities, opposing policies
A bait-and-switch routine
Double-takes and double-speak
Still scripting the façade
Asphyxiate and choke the truth
All hail the money god

Repeat, echo, refrain
It's all the same
So deafening
Repeat, echo, refrain
A consequence
We asked for this
Repeat, echo, refrain
No, never again
The American scream

A coup d'état on full display, a liar's sick charade
A traitor's grand parade
Narcissistic masquerades for those without a say
Systematic disarray

Divide and conquer and close them in
And bury secrets deep
Make America hate again
And bleed the sheep to sleep

Repeat, echo, refrain
It's all the same
So deafening
Repeat, echo, refrain
A consequence
We asked for this
Repeat, echo, refrain
No, never again
The American scream
(Scream)

You try to pick the lesser of
But evil doesn't come in twos
Bellicose and balkanized
A sinking ship of fools

So kiss the hangman as you drop
The rotting corpse of decency
Just another casualty of the American scream
Scream
(The American scream)

Repeat, echo, refrain
It's all the same
So deafening
Repeat, echo, refrain
A consequence
We asked for this
Repeat, echo, refrain
No, never again
The American scream
Never again
