LYRICS
Oh I want to know
How it feels
When we die
Can you take me under?
Dream over
Grieve no more
And breathe one last time
Now I lay thee down
Oh she watched me leave
Me bleeding
On the floor
As she takes me under
Dream over
Grieve no more
And breathe one last time
Now I lay thee down
Godless mimicry
White lights, cemetery
Flashes of the angel's ivory wings
Images so many broken dreams of pain
Terror
Fear
Crippling
Follow the light into the tunnel
Or will it end up in a black hole?
Follow the light into the tunnel
Dead in its end
Was it love?
Was it murder?
Within the eye of the beholder
Was it love?
Was it murder?
Within the eye of the beholder
What have I done?
I've gone and killed the only one I love
How could I do this? I'm screaming at God
Why do you curse me?
Fuck it, load it, sever the day
Dream over
Grieve no more
And breathe one last time
Now I lay thee, now I lay thee down
Underground

Mouna Mxpx now they are a new band. A miss old Machini Head 😏😕

[@McTruffles]

i think he is an amazing vocalist. his vocals make tunes so much more heavier

[@TrephineArtist]

Awesome song, MH= one of the very best metal bands. Such a versatile band who never make the same album twice, always striving forward. Nice video too.

[@TheJerryludlow]

The Blackening is a seminal piece of work

[@crazyiguana]

[@CalIingTheRain]

The blackening is the best album produced in at least the last 5 years!

[@illfly14]

Why don't we stop talking about how underated MH is but instead be glad that we have these types of metal bands to listen to. I LOVE METAL SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@nuisance78]

They know how to make a comeback thats for sure.

[@DEATHwarPIG]

This is what i love about machine head, they have brutal songs that make you want to kick someones face in, but have the potential to make beautiful "soft" music

[@RockingConMan]

Just love this song.

[@BlueThunder69NZ]

Bloody fantastic!

[@Schnurpsi]

I love that Video - cu in Stuttgart - 2. december 2007!!!! YEAHH!

[@orangevertigo]

This song is AMAZING!

[@Poorscousertommy1892]

Yeah i agree with the dude below, i have been listening for about 5 year's now and the blackening for me was their highlight of their career's. That got them big and out into the open.

[@satanicblackmetalhead]

[@jawkster]

i saw them too! =) what a day.

[@esiry432]

damn, i love this band

[@ivanking777]

MACHINE HEAD RULEZ !

[@Disnamesucksass]

I love machine head. Every instrament (including vocals) is amazing. Every album, every song is amazing. I Do not believe they have ever put out a bad album or song. Also, their drummer, has to be one of THE most underated. I mean, listen to this guy!! He is fucking amazing! Instead of just using a kick snare and some symbals like most metal/rock songs, he uses almost the whole drum set every song. Some of the shit he does is amazing on its own!

[@IHateRap1991]

The best I think. This is one of my favourite albums.

[@Markvangils]

Next thursday it is for me, damn it will be so damn nice :D

[@TheSPY1997]

Machine Head are the pioneers of the New Wave of American Heavy Metal

[@Clayman1234567]

wicked track!

[@ErasFear]

WAAAACKEEEEEEN!!! \m/ Finally!

[@MrXbubbax]

I dont care what you classify this kind of music as, it doesnt change the fact that its amazing

[@itsmariaalex]

1/7/2012 live in Greece with Black Sabbath! HELL YEAAAAH \m/ :D

[@OeranTV]

Machine Fuckin' Head is not your everyday melo-death band, I like them very much becuase they are so wide in their musicality, amazing song to!

[@theripper7675]

great song

[@MrMSALEH10]

They are the best.....

[@jakethecomrade]

I cant wait to see these guys at Mayhem Fest!

[@Wilkesy1000]

The Blackening is pretty much the most bad ass album of the 00's.

[@DruNature]

Its like Numetal but with some soloing!! GENIUS! greatness!

[@twofataldays]

I love every second of the song, but... it's not even possible to not love that part, starting in 2:18!!! Even the guys who don't like MH or good music have to love it. It's adorable! And absolutely mind-blowing!!!!

[@ReedyRainbow]

god this song is the story of my life

[@ivanking777]

[@Reykjaviking]

Congrats Machine Head- you guys finally figured out how to write a Killer Song that nobody can hold a candle to..

[@BloodMythos]

[@messengercrow]

During their concert back in 2003 in London Astoria, Rob said that England is the only country which has this "Machine Fuckin Head" saying.

[@heemlik]

@djquack12 i also love the fact the no matter what genre of metal machine head do it perfect

[@edgrazeify]

i had no idea they had marshall stacks in the 1800's....

[@Reshme77]

excellent

[@Actueel68]

The funny thing is if you ask any guy in this band what kind of metal they are, they'll tell you like they told me "We're a metal band"... I don't think they give a shit what else is put in the front.. it always ends with Metal in the name.

[@haggis325]

fucking love the whole song + album + every other albm theyve done. just gucking love Machine Head all round

[@garymachine]

i like pop hip hop and metal..............

[@Natto2544]

its such a shame that Machinehead is such an underrated band.

[@SwingingTHEDEAD420]

thats a sic fucking band right there QUALITY fucking music

[@givemeajackson]

machinehead + slayer + megadeth, that would be awesome

[@CaptainWazzock]

Dave mclellan (is that right?) is an absolute beast. a max of 2/3 takes for each son for recording. But the blackening shows how unbelievable machine head have gotten

[@RattleheadMoney95]

I love how Robb Flynn sits on that chair at the start and he's all like " Bow down to Jesus peasants".

[@ballsuckadomination]

MACHINE FUCKING HEAD! I'm seeing them on tuesday!
