Imagine a powerful commentary on societal greed and self-interest set to blistering metal riffs. Lamb of God's "Foot to the Throat" digs into themes of exploitation and betrayal, highlighting how individuals and systems prioritize personal gain over collective well-being. The lyrics draw vivid images of destruction and futility—like a bull in a China shop or a screen door on a submarine—to emphasize the chaos and emptiness left behind. As free of broken chains, the song also echoes a defiance against oppression, flipping the script on tyrants and betrayers. With powerful metaphors and relentless energy, it’s a stark reminder of the costs of selfishness and moral decay. #SocialCommentary #MetalTruths
Foot to the Throat
Lyrics
Virginia death threat, Virginia creeper vine
The hands that feed intent, choke the purpose of this time
Take all that you can give, and I will make it mine
No care for what you've spent, even fool's gold has it's shine
Never held down, never restrainted
Virtue's foot to the throat
Free of broken chains
Thus always to tyrants
Laugh at the conquered, the victims now betray
And in this Commonwealth
There's merely a common concern for self
We hold these lies to be self-evident
As the dividends will reflect
And in this Commonwealth
There's merely a common concern for self
The coffers have long run dry
Never held down, never restrained
Virtue's foot to the throat
Free of broken chains
Thus always to tyrants
Laugh at the conquered, the victims now betray
Like a bull in a China shop
But the shelves have all been cleared
A thief in an empty vault
The sheep already sheared
A screen door on a submarine
An eagle with a broken wing
Hope in a dead man's dream
The sound of a bell
That will never ring
You're just wasting time
