Lamb of God - Blood of the Scribe (Lyrics on Screen Video 🎤🎶🎸🥁)

This one comes out swingin and thrashin like a motha fucka (with a pretty nice lick if I may say.) In terms of interpreting what the song is about.... hmmmm..... Lamb makes it hard (for me at least) to understand wtf they're talking about, but that's why they're so good! Part of me feels it has something to so with corruption in religion, another part thinks its addiction. The lyrics make me think it's about someone or some organization overstepping their boundaries thinking they can get away with it, and this song is what happens in the aftermath. I could be completely wrong but that's my opinion haha. 3:02 man those toms (as well as the whole band) sound so god damn smooth! The spoken word part with the buildup into 3:30 is fucking beautiful and the rest of the song is heavy as a motha fucka Jesus Christ. Enjoy!

🎤 Lyrics Start 🎤

[Verse 1]
All of this comes crashing down
Cornerstone's gone
Sleepless, hopeless
No end in sight

[Verse 2]
Ink well has run dry
Fill it with blood of the scribe

[Bridge]
Rest comes easy to the guiltless
The vampire laments as he prays for the sun

[Verse 3]
Doom, despair, tragedy are the tools of the trade
[Chorus]
Cut to the bone, rob the grave
Unearth the stone, lay to waste
Defile the tome, rip the page
Strip mine the vein, lay to waste

[Verse 4]
Frayed at the edge, flat lined
The anvil cracks, the hammer
Relentlessly comes down
A new pariah is born

[Chorus]
Cut to the bone, rob the grave
Unearth the stone, lay to waste
Defile the tome, rip the page
Strip mine the vein, lay to waste

[Bridge]
Chastisement lays you down to sleep
Tucks you in with bloody kisses
Gifts of nightmares bitter sweet

[Verse 5]
Type A negative shuts me down
Catchphrase will be the death of me
Is this not what you came to see?
What, are you not entertained?
[Outro]
Climb the walls 'til nails bleed
Rip the hair, tear the seams
Break the glass, head in hands
Bell tolls endlessly, no end in sight

Ashes of the Wake is the third studio album and first major-label release by American heavy metal band Lamb of God, released in 2004 via Epic Records. The album debuted at number 27 on the Billboard 200, selling 35,000 copies in its first week and was rated by Guitar World as the 49th greatest Guitar Album of all Time.[7] This album also was rated by Metal Hammer as the 5th greatest Metal Album of The 21st Century.[8] The album was inspired by the events that took place during the war in Iraq with songs such as "Ashes of the Wake" (which includes snippets of former Marine Staff Sergeant Jimmy Massey in an interview after his return from the Iraq War), "Now You've Got Something to Die For", "One Gun" and "The Faded Line". The quote at the beginning of "Omerta" is a paraphrase of the Sicilian Mafia's code of silence.[9] As of August 2010, Ashes of the Wake has sold 398,000 copies in the United States.[10] Ten years after its release, as of 2014, sales have topped 400,000 copies sold and is Lamb of God’s best-selling record.[11] The album was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America in February 2016.[12]

The first pressing came with a bonus disc titled "Pure American Metal", including songs taken from the band's previous albums (Burn the Priest, New American Gospel and As the Palaces Burn), a live recording of the song "Black Label" from DVD Terror and Hubris, as well as a pre-production demo of the song "Laid to Rest".

The Japanese edition included a bonus song "Another Nail for Your Coffin" which was released worldwide in 2010 in a three-CD box set called Hourglass: The Anthology. The song was later included on the 15th anniversary edition of the album.

A DualDisc version was released in the United States. The DVD side contained the album in LPCM 2.0, and Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound, as well as various video clips, including the promo videos for "Now You've Got Something to Die For" (intended to promote the Killadelphia release) and "Laid to Rest", a short on the New England Metalfest, a "Meet the Band" and a clip from the Terror and Hubris DVD. A production error in the 5.1 mix of "Break You" causes the vocals to pitch shift high and low throughout the song.

The album was generally well received; Blabbermouth.net gave it a 7 rating.[5] Johnny Loftus of AllMusic gave it a 4 out of 5 star rating.[4] He praised Blythe's vocals, saying they became, "Lamb of God's threshold of pain conduit."
