OMERTA

[Intro]

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

[Verse 1]

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 thirty pieces of silver

The tongues of men and angels bought by a beloved betrayer

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

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

St. Peter greets with empty eyes then turns and locks the gate

[Chorus]

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

[Bridge]

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

[Outro]
