Lamb of God - What I've Become (Lyrics on Screen Video 🎤🎶🎸🥁)

Favorite lyric(s): "Suffered consequence It's been so long since any piece of this Made any kind of sense."

Favorite lick(s): Probably the opening lick is my favorite 0:00, it's just so nice and thrashy!

This track comes in with a really nice thrashy lick. I think this song is about the nasty toll addiction can take on one. Also what addiction can do to someone after years of abuse, sad but true! I like how in the song it is explained that "it's a system now" as the addiction pattern has cemented itself, I know quite what that's like! Enjoy!

🎤 Lyrics Start 🎤

Blank stares from broken men
So withered from the poisons
They can't remember when
There were once honest reasons
It's all a lie, it died a hundred thousands miles ago
Pretending I'm still here

Justify
What I've become
Sanctify
What I've become
Amazing disgrace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
Better lost if this is found
Best blinded, never to see

The race to save face
Nothing now is what
We meant it to be
Pretending I'm still here

It's a system now
Intertwined
Take your place in the line to be ground by the gears of the masterpiece
Betrayal

Justify
What I've become
Sanctify
What I've become

Suffered consequence
It's been so long since any piece of this
Made any kind of sense
You anoint the king, I'll burn everything down to ashes
You giveth, I taketh away
You giveth, I taketh away
It's a system now
Intertwined
Take your place in the line to be ground by the gears of the masterpiece
Betrayal

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."
