Lamb of God - One Gun (Lyrics on Screen Video 🎤🎶🎸🥁)

The first thing I notice is how clean the production on this record is, damn! The opening riff is real nice as well as the vocal opening part. This song is definitely political (in my opinion hehe) and I feel is about how much bullshit dying in war is or something lol. The lyrics are hard to interpret but are very fun to try and do so. 3:20 is real nice god damn that kick drum sounds good. Enjoy!

🎤 Lyrics Start 🎤

The sins of deliverance

The eyes of the patriot fixed through the scope
The unknowing tyrant walks to the rope

It's when murder is justice that martyrs are made
A one gun salute for the new independence day
They'll hallow your name
They'll hallow your name for your sacrifice

The sins of deliverance
So let the wicked perish in the presence of God
For your sacrifice

The sins of the father
Atoned by the son
Confessions of commitments broken
A nail driven for every one
It's when murder is justice that martyrs are made
A one gun salute for the new independence day
They'll hallow your name
They'll hallow your name for your sacrifice

You are the cause, I am the effect
Created in hatred, a noose for your neck

The eyes of the patriot fixed through the scope
The unknowing tyrant walks to the rope
They'll hallow your name
For your sacrifice
They'll hallow your name
Sacrifice
Sacrifice
Sacrifice
They'll hallow your name

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."
