Machine Head - Elegy Lyrics






Elegies are to be sung
Winds of armageddon come
Ignorance within your bliss
Soon you will atone for this
In your carcinogenic haze
Baneful of a newer age
Flower of a different scent
Poisons of the earths lament

A requiem
Earth belong not to you
Belong all we to her

Take another deeper breath
Inhale invisible death
Pollution fills the land and sky
Forever you justify
Take a deeper look and see
Nothing's left to future seeds
Icicles melt into blood
Ashes where there once was wood

A requiem
Earth belong not to you
Belong all we to her

Pain of life has pulled you under
Left you there to bleed and wonder
Open heart left torn asunder
Wrong the wrongs that you've been suffered
Kill we scream in roaring thunder
Destroy all, leave all things plundered

Acid rain cries her pain
Full bloom, a world gone insane
Her anger the flower
Plays God with all of our lives

A requiem
Earth belong not to you
Belong all we to her

  1. D.... .....

    This would be dope as a UFC entrance

    Ive listened to this intro 1000 times. Musically one of my favs of all time in the heavy metal world. It grooves so hard and is sonically perfect... hats off to the producer and engineering team. Oh and the band.

  10. S.... A....

    This one fits right in with what they had been doing on The Burning Red, and is one of my absolute favorites from TTAOE

  11. S.... m....

    Fucking heavy groove shit. Luv the guitar "drone" riff during the singing... mesmerizing ...FUCKING COOL. Listened to it 4 times today again... This is their "Sad but True"... Gets deep down... FUCKING, FUCKING AWESOME...

  12. N.... S....

    I just noticed that one of the guys said "Hell yeah" at the end of the track. Sounded like Dave. 

  13. J.... T....

    is it just me or does this kinda sound like tool?

    J.... T....

    ya but i think what you're hearing is more the whole rage anger and overall tone of song ....so ya the emotion is very similar to TOOL

    J.... T....

    Machine is not Tool ... oh no!

    J.... T....

    Sorta. The beginning kinda has a Tool-esque sound to it. Other than that, no.

  14. D.... C....

    Heavy shit. The way he sings though, along with the guitar... nice.

  15. J.... L....

    would like to loop the bridge and rap on it >:D

  16. c.... ....

    the most badass song about environment.

    c.... ....

    You're absolutely right, I had never spent a seconds thought on the lyrics, like an idiot, but that makes total eye-opening sense.

  17. E.... R....

    Bad ass song to smoke a joint to

    E.... R....

    Close to perfection. Machine Head = Awesome!

  21. L.... ....

    "Pain of life has pulled you under, left you there to bleed and wonder. Open heart is torn asunder, wrong the wrongs that you've been suffered." The words that are spoken by my life.

  22. K.... G....

  23. M.... M....

    this bands amazing even tho they only have 3 good albums the blackening,unto tge locust and burn my eyes the rest is horrible or mediocre but those three are so amazing tht it makes them one of the best

  24. A.... X....

    I love this song, it is probably my favorite on the Ashes album. It has a completely different sound than the rest... I always enjoy the oddball stuff.

  25. s.... ....

    The way Robb Flynn sings this song, really turns me on xDD
    Sexy song! <3

  28. R.... ....

    IKR! xD

  29. T.... ....

    3:54 That's fucking right!

  30. G.... ....

    @pppedro0 standard american metal

  31. A.... D....

    @Migas128 I hope KoRn's A.D.I.D.A.S. is somewhere in that top ten, eh?

  32. B.... G....

    @laffyta2 Hey I'm pretty sure he wasn't saying those albums were complete shit, but I think he meant that they just weren't his taste as not all of us like nu-metal. There's no need for all the hate dude, just chill out and enjoy what you enjoy.

  33. B.... G....

    One more thing, in my opinion, I'm not really into some of the songs in this album. I do like Imperium, Left Unfinished, Elegy and Descend The Shades of Night, Bite the Bullet and Vim.

  34. B.... G....

    I have to disagree, I disliked the turn that MH took to nu-metal just because nu was popular at that moment. I'm glad that they've returned to their roots (sort of) though. IMO, Supercharger and The Burning Red are kind of a stay away album, unless you like nu-metal.

  35. B.... H....

    listening to this as high as i am atm it ops your fucking mind to shreads
    please try my veiwers

  36. E.... C....
