System of a Down - Psycho [Full Song cover]

System of a down-innervision

system of a down - war? [demo]

This one was the other of two recording session candidates that stood out for us after an insane weekend. We were heavily inspired by some really horrific homecoming stories from USMC veterans who had been deployed overseas and saw action, and decided that we wanted to give a similar respect that Five Finger Death Punch did with Bad Company. However, seing that most of us also love the Avenged Sevenfold sound, we wanted to pay a little tribute to them as well.

To all the forgotten heroes who gave near all, if not everything, to secure all of us at home, we salute you! Greatest is the honor of those who lays down their life so the rest can know peace and safety. 

Carissimi Desiderati, Numquam Obliti — Semper Fidelis.

Lyrics:

[prelude]
Not again!

Shit just got real intense
Trying to get home safely but they are coming for me.
I'm on a slippery slope

[verse 1]
The imaginary smell of cordite overwhelms me. 
I can't believe I got out alive.
Deployed overseas for three years
(Oh you've no fucking idea, do you punk?)
When I close my eyes, I see their faces.
My brothers in arms; brothers too early departed.

[pre-chorus]
My temples are about to fucking burst.
All my anger pent up 
inside's about to release.
I need to get outta here

[chorus]
Survived just to be shipped back home to this shit
Survived just to see it all was in vain
Survived just to relive all these flashbacks
Survived just to see no-one home understands at all
Survived just to live on a slippery slope
and I'm lost!

[verse 2]
Walking around downtown with the family
Expecting the familliar glint in a window
off of a leupold scope 
(Oh you've no fucking idea, do you punk?)
Late nights in the basement, polishing brushed steel slides
The smell of gun oil - always a familliar friend

[pre-chorus]
My temples are about to fucking burst.
All my anger pent up 
inside's about to release.
I need to get outta here

[chorus]
Survived just to be shipped back home to this shit
Survived just to see it all was in vain
Survived just to relive all these flashbacks
Survived just to see no-one home understands at all
Survived just to live on a slippery slope
and I'm lost!

and I'm lost!

Survived just to be called a disgrace
Survived just to be divorced
Survived just to be harassed by the cops and MPs
Survived just to be looked upon with disdain.

[verse 3]
Waking up in the night drenched in sweat
Having lived through another agonizing memory
Of my teammates paying the ultimate price
(Do you get it now, punk? Do you?)
Unable to wash their blood off my hands, the smell never leaving my nose
Promising dying friends I'd look after their families

Just to have the door slammed in my face

[pre-chorus]
My temples are about to fucking burst.
All my anger pent up 
inside's about to release.
I need to get outta here

[Chorus]
Survived just to be shipped back home to this shit
Survived just to see it all was in vain
Survived just to relive all these flashbacks
Survived just to see no-one home understands at all
Survived just to live on a slippery slope
and I'm lost!

Survived, but it's time to get outta here
Survived, I don't know where I'll go
Survived, but I'll leave all this shit behind me
Survived, but is there peace in the end for me?
I don't know 'cause I'm on a slippery slope

Survived just to live on a slippery slope
Survived just to see it all was in vain
Aw hell

Survived! 
Survived! 
Survived! 
Survived!
