To the Grave Songtext
von Lamb of God

I′ve walked the halls of madness
I've heard the jailer′s laugh
I've yet to sing the funeral dirge
The only option left
Risen from an inferno
Of hopelessness and shame
Walked the tightrope out
Of it then shouldered all the blame

But make no mistake
I know it's always there
It′s always there
The scent of doom riding neglect
It′s hanging in the air


The only thing to fear
Remains inside unseen
Never disappears
Stand guard eternally
The only thing I fear
Lives on inside of me
Whispers in my ear
To the grave eternally

The broken record of my life
Skips bodies of my friends
So many walked that path with me
It took them to their end

Resting on rusty laurels
It's sweating while you sleep
It′s doing push-ups in the dark
With a knife between its teeth

So lest you forget
It never fades away
Won't fade away
Waiting for you to slip and
Put you in the grave


The only thing to fear
Remains inside unseen
Never disappears
Stand guard eternally
The only thing I fear
Lives on inside of me
Whispers in my ear
To the grave eternally, oh

It′s always there
You best beware
Risen from an inferno
But waiting in the deep
It's always there

The only thing to fear
Never disappears
The only thing I fear
Whispers in my ear
I′ll take it to the grave with me
