Otep - Lords Of War Lyrics
"With confidence in our armed forces, with the unbounding determination of our people, we will gain the inevitable triumph. So help us God"
More wars on foreign shores
More names for us to mourn
To misguide the misinformed
Thus we praise the lords of war
On our knees and beg for more
A fresh poison for the weak
Filthy little beasts
Bred to conform
It's the dwarfed souls of greedy men
Feculent, arrogant
That shackles our young to the cold concrete
And empty their guns into bodies
They scream "I'm not guilty"
They scream "I'm not guilty"
But cowards here are only what they fear
Shout until the threat stops
[Chorus:]
I'd rather be in battle than at peace
I'd rather be a wolf than a sheep
I'd rather be in battle than slaughtered like cattle
The weak can sleep while [x2]
The weak can sleep while
You were born to be led
That's what religion says
With a bifurcated tongue
America eats its young
Bullet-toothed, empty gods
Paralyze the minds and contest the thoughts
With devils everywhere
Bombs bursting in the air
Drones flown over thrones
Of bone and brimstone
Sabers rattle in the homes
Of the cowards and the crones
As they shackle our young
Blood stains the streets
Pigs empty their guns in their bodies
They scream "I'm not guilty"
They scream "I'm not guilty"
But cowards here are only what they fear
Shout until the threat stops
[Chorus:]
I'd rather be in battle than at peace
I'd rather be a wolf than a sheep
I'd rather be in battle than slaughtered like cattle
The weak can sleep while [x2]
Bow down to the lords of war
On your knees for the lords of war
[x2]
We rise in defiance
We won't remain silent
To triumph over tyrants
And police violence
Shoot until the threat stop [x2]
We're not guilty
We're not
We're not guilty
We're not
Help us God
[Chorus:]
I'd rather be in battle than at peace
I'd rather be a wolf than a sheep
I'd rather be in battle than slaughtered like cattle
The weak can sleep while [x2]
The lords of war
On your knees for the lords of war
Bow down to the lords of war
What is so terrible about a child screaming?
Why should it disturb us?
Just because we happen to be there to hear it?
What about the child who comes from an inadequate home, where he gets no encouragement from his parents,
where he doesn't have enough to wear, he doesn't have enough to eat, he comes to school hungry...
This beautiful, breathtaking...

otep is sweet but also cop the new Deftones when it comes out April plz
i was able to make out most of her lyrics.guess i have to play it again.but do love what i have heard her preform.youtube is my only sorce of music at the moment.ya i know.laugh at me.
Can I just please apologize on behalf of Illinois for the attack you suffered on stage in Chicago, Otep? Please come back :( For your real fans?
is evil j still in the band?
siempre lo mismo
May 18th, ATL!!!!!!
was hoping the seem then on the 20th but now i got court fml ruining my concert for me
Otep should be in mortal kombat
These hardcore mean looking metal performers are usually very nice people away from the cameras. Two very notorious exceptions being Lars and James Hetfield from Metallica.
SHE IS, WE ARE ALL ... IN REAL TIME
@Mortal Kombat i know i exist.
@Jason Gilliam I got the hook too many times I wondered the same thing
She's Divora
Mad Max was cooler
i mis Evil J great Bass player
There is something very intriguing about this sound. I am fucking pumped for the new album!
sounds more rap metal, sounds interesting. i might like this, its new and catchy
This is so cool, got it on repeat!
3.53 is it Ataturk in a metal video O.o But the meaning is good i think.
Yes...hmmm...Yes?......Oh yes....YES...YES...YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS MORE MORE MORE PLEASE <3
hell yeah awesome can't wait to hear more
Shamaya, vendrás a México? n.n
Fuuuck yeah! This is awesome
Love the band, but this doesn't feel very original to me.
+Charlie Hale It makes sense for them to release the most "accessible" song as the lead single. I'm sure the deep cuts in the album will be more experimental, heavy, and crazy.
BLISTERING. Can't wait to hear the full length release.
Oh God, this is transcendent.
im a sheep :/
Cant wait for May 10!! #generationdoom #wolfpackstreetteam
love your band , but like any other digital product why am i pre-ordering are you gonna run out of digital copies ??? fyi its pre-order not preorder
+brightdarkness It's a pre-order for the physical album
Lyrics?
can't wait for the reading PA concert!!
I can see you loved Mad max Fury road! :-D can't fucking wait for this album! been a fan from the very beginning when I was 16 :-D
Generation Doom, well I'd say the current generation, millennials, are pretty much doomed with their trigger warnings, safe spaces and labeling anything they don't like as some kind of "ist"
+John Constantine This is why I love Otep. She promotes equality and treating people fairly, generally ideas associated with the left, but also promoting independence and being strong minded; something that radical leftism has abandoned completely.
Nice! Released on my fucking birthday. FUCK YEAH, BABY~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >:D
i've watched this on repeat soo many times, so pumped
OMFG OMFG OMFG!!! This means you're gonna tour again, right? FUCK YES! Now I can finally see you in Atlanta!!
+Whiskey Black Then you'll be pleased to know tour dates are already being posted on her FB page! A place called Masquerade seems to be booked in the Atlanta area.
I can't even explain how fucking PUMPED I am for this.
OMG chills! LOVE
Been a huge fan since her first CD. She still kicks ass.
+John Baylor *their first album
Dylan Depaula It sounds better either way
they should have called it generation suck my ass
I've got goosebumps!
The ways of the warrior... The true warrior knows rage, the true warrior knows peace. The true warrior is in perfect balance at wartime, and knows when to rage and when to replenish and be peaceful. The true warrior knows. And acts on a confrontation only when the warrior is at it's best... when the warrior is in optimal balance, within itself but also with it's habitat... \m/, & <3
This is amazing!
