Otep - Noose And Nail Lyrics






Your god is a fossil
Abandoned apostles
Get down & join hands to behold

You godless disciples
Abandon your idols
Get down & join hands to behold

[V1.]

(champagne
Cocaine
Vicodin
Adderall

Nicotine
Caffeine
Percosets
Halodol)

Jesus needs his
Prescriptions filled

Buddha’s usin’
Too many pills

Allah promises endless thrills
In volatile bottles marked RELIGION KILLS!

[tunnel]

This is the ache
We can’t escape

Betrayed!

One day this could be you.

[chorus]

We’re just another
Nail in the coffin

Another
Knot in the noose

It’s just another
Squeeze of the trigger

One more hue
In the bruise

[V2.]

(champagne
Cocaine
Vicodin
Adderall

Nicotine
Caffeine
Percosets
Halodol)

Krishna’s rollin’ on ecstasy
Jehovah’s smokin’ too much PCP

Mother Mary carries a junkie messiah
Shooting smack & smokin’ crack with the King of Liars!

[tunnel]

This is the ache
We can’t escape.

Betrayed!

One day this could be you.

[chorus]

We’re just another
Nail in the coffin

Another
Knot in the noose

It’s just another
Squeeze of the trigger

One more hue
In the bruise

[bridge]

This is for a lifetime
Of shit.

You!

Get down & crawl, crawl!
You fucking insect!

Get down & crawl, crawl!
You fucking insect!

Get down &
CRAWL!

Get down &
CRAWL!

The remedy is worse than the disease
THE REMEDY IS WORSE!

My life spills out like dead flies!

[exodus]

Your god is a fossil
Abandoned apostles
Get down & join hands to explode!

You godless disciples
Abandon your rifles
Get down & join hands to explode!

TO EXPLODE!
TO EXPLODE!
TO EXPLODE!

MY LIFE SPILLS OUT LIKE DEAD FLIES!!

    T.... h....

    joa die sind entspannend!!!

  6. D.... ....

    The guitar on this song totally reminds me of Godsmack's stuff.

  7. S.... L....

    it's so true bout this song what we do to our body can cause early death

  8. B.... J....

    This song is very relevant these days.

  9. K.... D....

    ahh this song is the best while doing a line

  10. E.... K....

    You think that maria brink sounds like the devil (in a good way)? Check out otep and find someone else who sounds even more like the devil (in a good way).

    E.... K....

    check out the band SKARP, their female vocalist is well...you'll see :)

  11. S.... T....

    Now why couldn't they make a music video for this song? this would have been the funniest shit to see. damn, you can't make a video for blood pigs and not this. shit ain't right !

  12. I.... V....

    Otep are so bad ass, I love this shit!

  13. m.... m....

    BeyaliVolk Actually it isn't capitalized because it's not a proper noun. Just had to get that out there.

  14. A.... J....

    Love this song, it's everything I''ve been saying for years.

    A.... J....

    You haven't said shit, you edgy teenage fuckshit :^)

  15. S.... C....

    How are otep and nickelback even close to being related?

  16. A.... J....

    LOVE this song

  17. f.... ....

    You would actually survive. I think it is YOU who don't know what being stabbed or pepper sprayed or shot at is like. Because the first second you rock the boat in the ghetto you get noticed. Best way to get away with shit is to be like a ghost, and if they did notice... just be twice as crazy. Stockton CA as well, look that one up. Should be in the news. Sac, Marysville-Sutter. All meth and crack everywhere. Sorry I have a different view than you. You shouldnt feel safe because of bush not me.

    f.... ....

    fmlAllthetime exactly. I live in fort Wayne Indiana so fucking hillbilly ghetto. I got a wrench thrown at me splahshed by cars. Just like a mini Chicago. Walk chest out and tall and no one will fuck wit you

  18. f.... ....

    Dude... why are all veterans from both wars on a terror watch list? Why is there children on the no fly list? Why did they go through all of the associated presses phone records?
    Galt Ca, look it up. Talk to anyone who is 25 and younger that lived there. Meth galore. I smoked meth for 3 years guy. And words have never hurt me. Actions speak far louder than words. Where I come from, if you felt afraid of words you WOULD get your ass beat for being oversensitive, if you could intimidate them back

  19. S.... R....

    Part 2
    So, yeah. You using that disgusting language makes me not only feel but actually am far more unsafe than the government monitoring me, which I may add, isn't true for more than 90% of the population. They only monitor people of interest, otherwise they waste man power and money.

    S.... R....

    Wow. So naive.

  20. S.... R....

    That quote is Evelyn Hall's. That is the worst way to use that quote as that isn't what it has EVER meant. Everyone knows she meant she would defend your opinion not the right to use slurs however you may. Being called one means absolutely nothing unless you are GSM, otherwise you're as bad as your harassers. I am telling you as a GSM woman to not use a word that makes me feel unsafe and has given many bigots the idea that they have permission to kill and maim people for their sexuality.

  21. f.... ....

    Yes it is... "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." - Voltaire. This is coming from a man far smarter than me or you... ONLY unpopular speech needs protection, for what is there to defend of words used openly everyday. I reserve the right to say faggot if I would like. I have that right, there is no right to be offended. This is all coming from someone who got called one for years okay? I understand the whole PC viewpoint and I don't agree.

  22. S.... R....

    That isn't censorship. To compare avoiding using slurs, which should be in basic human decency, to that is an insult to anyone who has been censored.

  23. b.... s....

    fucking amazing!

  24. G.... ....

    Okay, then try this, quit being a whiny little bitch, wash the sand out of your vag, and proceed to rock out.

  25. S.... R....

    When used in song lyrics it is not the same. When telling a story you tell it however you can to get your point across. Regardless, you have no right to use it, period. It is heterosexist, and you obviously have no idea what it means to be so. It's a slur when used in that context, voiding all other definitions. Heterosexism (homophobia) has little to do with sexism and feminism. Please tell me more about how I think she's a feminist because that has anything to do with what I said.

    S.... R....

    You don't get to decide what's allowed/or disallowed to be said when it comes to free speech. You don't like what you're reading/hearing? Stop reading and/or listening...THAT'S FREEDOM. You kids are 100 percent indoctrinated Marxists and don't even know it!

  26. P.... M....

    After meeting Otep three times, I've found out she's not a hyper-sensitive "FAG IS A BADDDD WORRRD" person... She also uses the word in Rise Rebel Resist, it's not a "hetrosexist word" either, it has multiple meanings. Shouldn't listen to Otep because you think she's some anti-male feminist idol.

  27. K.... E....

    ....This is the ache We can’t escape Betrayed! One day this could be you.... \\mm//

  28. S.... R....

    Where did I throw my sexuality in anyone's face? As a fan of Oteps music, they should know better than to use words that are inappropriate for certain situations. Please tell me what word could be discriminatory to straight folk because hetrosexist means discriminatory towards GSM folk. How GSM will become equal is by people treating them as equals. Using words like that cause back steps in the equal rights movement, people of privilege have no right to use them and that's all there is to it.

  29. M.... ....

    Its only a word its the why you perceive it that gives the word meaning or power. The word your complaining about is childish not worth the attention let alone your own use off a word that could be taken ask discriminatory against straight people. If the gay and lesbian community wants the same rights and treated like everyone else then stop throwing your sexuality in others face and just live your life.

  30. N.... ....

    Nickelback is a good band though...

  31. l.... l....

    so para quem tem sangue fervendo hahaha ^^

  32. R.... C....

    get down and crawl YA FUCKIN INSECT

  33. M.... M....

    i think if u like this music u guys should listen Hed Pe, some will know of it some not but in my opinion u guys will like it, if not than keep listen OTEP :D

  34. A.... ....

    6 more likes=666 likes >:)

  35. W.... ....

    this sounds like a few songs from nazi zombies. I liked those too

  36. S.... W....

    I actually agree with you. Had the same thought listening to, "Possession."

  37. B.... ....

    hate to break it to yeah, but the reason war exists in the first place, is religious disbelief, a comment on youtube is not going to disperse something that has been killing millions of people for thousands of years.

  38. A.... A....

    fuck, can't stop listen this amazing song, and amazing band!!!! otep rulz!

  39. D.... D....

    Hail Saiten

  40. D.... P....

    @diablomuerte666 you're a fucking moron

  41. S.... R....

    @diablomuerte666 Pretty sure she wouldn't appreciate your word choice. Being that she isn't straight and that was a fucking hetrosexist word.

  42. R.... ....

    This is why the prophet teach us to control our mood. look below......

  43. T.... ....

    @KillTheMedia187 damn straight

  44. X.... ....

    @FritzThaHatchet You're*

  45. i.... ....

    @GothVampireQueen listen to the lyrics: it should all make sense.

  46. N.... A....

    @KillTheMedia187

    "so u use music as your outlet"

    Isn't that what music is for...?
    Stop belittling others.

  47. I.... ....

    ..love her voice..........so much....

  48. A.... H....

    @GothVampireQueen Because they make no sense lol

  49. R.... R....

    @babel0wnage Amen to that friend.

  50. R.... T....

    @ashlienicholex33 actually krishna's rolling on ectasy lol

  51. M.... ....

    @iSoldMySoulSoLongAgo I know what you mean. I have a crappy sound system though. Try adjusting your equalizer if you can, that can help a little.

  52. S.... ....

    @TheSurfaceofTheMoon If you want, that would be very nice.^^ But I didn't type that for any recognition. Just stating my opinion like everyone else here. ^^;

  53. A.... A....

    @vampirichild Ehh, not wicca. Wicca is a hodgepodge made up of hundreds of individual pagan/heathen belief systems. Don't get me wrong, Wicca is a beautiful religion, I personally am a Celtic Pagan, but Wicca's been around since what? The 1950's or so? Maybe a tad earlier or later, but certainly not thousands of years by itself ^_^ The ideas BEHIND Wicca however...

  54. B.... S....

    she's beautiful and this is an amazing song! I FREAKING LOVE THIS :D

  55. a.... ....

    @FFQueen92

  56. F.... ....

    I don't think all the debating is necessary as to the song's meaning. It's there if you fucking listen. You might not like it or be able to handle it, but it's there.

  57. P.... ....

    The Dislike Bar is barely nonexistent. Good, good.

  58. b.... s....

    amazing!!!

  59. B.... D....

    i just want to say your right and i wish i could talk to you in a face to face conversation becasue people now a days are too scaried to see what is really going on in the world.

  60. G.... ....

    @TheDrapocalypse Well duh!

  61. T.... ....

    @GothVampireQueen The whole point is to just enjoy the music, seriously!

  62. s.... ....

    Im everything. i respect anyone's religion. as long as they do good upon others as well as themselves im fine with them. Its when people wanna act like "god" wants us to protest against gays and massacre and then confess and everythings fine. I'm mostly pagan and I find religion very unimportant. I dont see why people cant just use their eyes and calm their minds... it baffles me really :/

  63. b.... s....

    fuckin amazing i love the lyrics

  64. G.... ....

    Otep is really awesome. I don't see what all the religion conversations are going on for.

  65. 0.... ....

    @rageitnox u just made me think. i dont believe in god or any other kind of religion but i love going to church and just sit there and pray. not to god just to do so. because it releases stress frustration and pain..
    i didnt do that for a long time now i will do that soon i have enough reason to.

    thank you. thanks a lot

  66. S.... F....

    @jkhaleel as do alcohol and nicotine (tobacco), therefore, all these substances ARE drugs, and are regarded as such by all those who are not EXTREMELY ignorant.

  67. S.... F....

    @Jkhaleel a drug is anything that CHEMICALLY alters the brain. It causes more endorphins to be released, giving that sensation of artificial happiness, but at the same time the drug doesn't allow these endorphins to be reclaimed back into the glands that release them. This "tricks" the brain into thinking that there are too many endorphins being produced, and it makes less, which is why you don't get as high the second time you take the same dosage of a drug. Weed causes this phenomenon, as do

  68. J.... W....

    what religion teaches you so be at peace with the world those around you and help those in need if we can all do that everything would be fine :)

  69. J.... W....

    the church or christ or the temple of the Kuran and etc... those are in place to put structure into the ever expanding religion so that there is organization but the point is not everyone going to the same church believe in the same things we all find what we believe in that help us explain and deal with the things in our lives nothing to special about it but its importance is extreme to those who believe in it themselves so stop fighting over whos religions right or better that isnt part of

  70. J.... W....

    Religion is a crutch but at the same time it is just away to accept events that cant be explained in our lives like stringtheory for atheists :P like its a way to just make sense of the world... the story of jesus and mozes and things like that are just that STORIES there is historical evidence in the existence of them but nothing in the state of which they have been described the moral of the story is help those in need and treat eachother equally as like socialism :P not an hierarchy that is

  71. S.... ....

    @Primogen18 Sadly, and it makes me upset as a Christian to know that. I thought, at least in my religion, we were supposed to love and respect everyone. : / And also, it doesn't HAVE to be that way. People just need to learn acceptance.

  72. P.... ....

    @SasorisPuppet unfortunately religion is more of an ancient crutch to separate people further and further anymore. Ironic that religious arguments break out on the comment section of a song that I take to mean what you interpret it as, put down your guns and just learn to accept people no matter what. Stop trying to fuel hate and bigotry, stop trying to change minds, stop trying to act superior, just fucking live and understand there are people different from you.

  73. 0.... ....

    @bbeboutuaa and legalize drinking with 15. (my girlfriend is amazing when shes drunk hehe)

  74. S.... K....

    otep shamaya is my god <3

    S.... K....

    TREY PARKER is my god! He gave me a Voice

  75. J.... ....

    Everytime I hear this song, I love it more and more ! I've even got my 13 year old listening to Otep and weed ISN'T a drug, btw. Come on, it comes straight from the ground, yo!

    J.... ....

    Lmao🤣 thats like saying Cocaine isn't a drug

    J.... ....

    But i understand what ur saying i agree

  76. d.... ....

    @Shaynadotcom god is fiction.believe in what u want if u think it helps........peace

  77. s.... ....

    im wiccan and this lady resembles the earth goddess:)

  78. P.... ....

    @Shaynadotcom I believe in a godess and her name is Otep.

  79. S.... ....

    Stop talking about religion, just enjoy the damn music. I have an idea, how about we fight of how awesome this song is.

  80. d.... ....

    fucking fabulous!

  81. a.... p....

    @NiNjAsAlIvE Thing that created us is called evolution ;P

  82. 2.... ....

    This is Bullshit, Westside!

  83. S.... ....

    wow just wow

  84. b.... ....

    people always bitch and argue on songs... no one gives a fuck. just listen to the music.

  85. C.... R....

    @xoxossj you are an idiot.

    Christian - Professing belief in Jesus as Christ or following the religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus.

  86. A.... ....

    @xoxossj I'm muslim and take offense to that...

  87. J.... H....

    @Shaynadotcom That's like saying I don't believe in birds but I love to eat chicken.

  88. C.... R....

    @Shaynadotcom lol wtf does that mean

    if you believed in "a" god you would say "i believe in god" because if you believed in "a" god, it would be your god, wouldn't it? (eg Jesus Christ, Buddha, etc)

  89. n.... d....

    I like how this gets only 3 dislikes and the rest of the good music almost always had at least 30 dislikes.
    It's 'cause they know better and are afraid to get their ass beat by OTEP.

  90. k.... ....

    i love this band because talk about all
    and they don`t care XD

  91. J.... H....

    @SoulofMetal93 I like this, your thinking to me on this is perfect. Religion to some can also just be a cover up, because I've met some Christians, Catholics, etc. who are worse then even myself (and thats pretty bad haha).

  92. S.... L....

    Why do people have to break down every fucking song into something religous?!?!?! Stfu trolls!

  93. S.... C....

    @suffx999 Why don't Catholics believe in Santa Clause? Because he was Pagan.

  94. S.... ....

    @cogar48 Slaughtered millions and killed the entire native American race? Preaches hatred and bigotry? Oh yeah, religion does do bad things in the hands of complete morons. Shame since it CAN be a good thing. But like anything else, stupid people killed it.

  95. S.... ....

    Wow... I'm seeing all these religious arguments and I'm finding it a bit ironic that they're comments to this song. Personally, I think it's saying to open your eyes and learn to accept people no matter what they're beliefs are. I think the world would be SO much better off if people didn't see a "christian" or an "atheist", but rather a human being. And yes, I DO practice what I'm preaching.

  96. Z.... D....

    @thegeekest you're god dam right we stole that shit, you can have it back when we're done with it, muahahaha!

  97. q.... ....

    YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH :@

    \m/

  98. t.... ....

    christians stole all other religions holidays and stuff. thats why i hate catholics :D

  99. F.... ....

    @suffx999
    Even funnier when you consider how it was PAGAN first.
