Lamb of God - In Defense Of Our Good Name

Returning to solace So sweet like honeysuckle on the tongue The sound of silence Blesses my ears Enveloping like the earth I will one day lie in Metropolis is bad to wither the soul Roaring concrete and steel Washes you in blood. So let you point and laugh Provincial ain't so bad. Take me back down to where I belong To rust in rivers. I do not covet any man's life I know my place all to well One man's paradise Is another man's living hell. To each their own Generations ago Made this place my own The roots are deep and strong Carry them wherever I go. Never wanted your approval Never wanted your acceptance Never wanted to be anything but me Never wanted to be anywhere but here. Carry me Southeast bound home To speak in defense of our good name Lay me to rest with my kin In the ground of God's country. Urggghh Lash out at any who would Smear you with hate Deify No one, Never crawl ashamed The past screams injustice on A Southern night wind Whips Manacles Chains Musket balls A dark history never forgotten Only misconception remains. Speak in defense of our good name The blood of kin Grants absolution I'll join them soon enough In the ground of God's country. Speak in defense of our good name The blood of kin Grants absolution I'll join them soon enough In the ground of God's country. Never wanted your acceptance Never wanted your approval Never wanted to be anything but me Never wanted to be anywhere but here.
