Sevendust - Cease And Desist Lyrics






The story of you,
Undersold living proof.
A man truly dies before the grave.
The glory and truth overreach black and blue
From the daily demands,
I'm a fool.

Blood red! You said
Everything I had to hear!
Conceive inbred!
Pull the skin back and grin!
Deaf ears! Split tongue!
Keep your eyes down and run!

So long! Fair enough!
You found a way to kill the plan!
Whoa! Things were looking up!
But the bastards, here they come again!
(They come again, they come again!)

A life line abused, cut the cord, what's the use?
Calling on your faith
That you lost inside your crowded head and hid away.
Yeah I'm the fool!

Blood red! You said
Everything I had to hear!
Conceive inbred!
Pull the skin back and grin!
Deaf ears! Split tongue!
Keep your eyes down and run!

So long! Fair enough!
You found a way to kill the plan!
Whoa! Things were looking up!
But the bastards, here they come again!
(They come again, they come again!)

So long! Fair enough!
You found a way to kill the plan!
Whoa! Things were looking up!
But the bastards, here they come!

You throw yourself in line again!
You're taking my dreams right out of my hand,
And that's the smile of a guilty man!
And the darkest clouds will roll away!

So long! Fair enough!
You found a way to kill the plan!
Whoa! Things were looking up!
But the bastards, here they come again!

So long! Fair enough!
You found a way to kill the plan!
Whoa! Things were looking up!
But the bastards here they come again!

  12. M.... S....

    The exchange between LJ and Clint in the bridge never fails to give me goosebumps. This whole song is incredible but that one little section always makes me close my eyes so I can truly enjoy it.

  13. A.... Y....

    Well we know there's at least 8 people that don't know good music when they hear it

  14. J.... T....

    Slade jewel....I interpret this as when things are going right in your life.....you find a way to sabotage things.....things were looking up...but your own demons find a way to screw things up.....but the bastards here they come again.....I cant put into words how much this band and especially the lyrics have meant to me

    J.... T....

    I totally agree, I felt the same when I was listening for the meaning

    J.... T....

    this is exactly whats happening to me now

  15. J.... T....

    a man truly dies before the grave......

    I know everyone interprets these lyrics differently, but I wanted to get feedback from more people on what you think Sevendust meant by this song. the

    S.... J....

    Slade Jewell see me comment above

  18. C.... M....

    this is a amazing song, one of their best ever. Best album since home

    C.... M....

    Chris McArthur Animosity?

  19. o.... ....

    1999 the self titled album came out and blew me away.....I completely thought Latin and company were in my soul....since then I've never missed a 7D show when their home in the ATL..... (2001-2003, NEVER MISSED A SHOW, 125 STRAIGHT IN THE SOUTHEASTERN STATES)..... Although Animosity is my top album.....this is my favorite song.....the band has grown and become a constant force whether ppl notice or not......Blackout the sun is the evolution of the band, if that was unbelievable, what's next?

  20. J.... H....

    Sevendust is one of the most highly underrated and underappreciated bands of the past 20 years. Their albums never disappoint and none of their songs are skipworthy.

    J.... H....

    ever wonder why

    J.... H....

    I know that's right, Ive been a fan since the beginning and they are not only easily the best band to come out of Atlanta but likely the US...

    J.... H....

    Killer live too. Seen them like 5 times and never miss a beat.

  21. R.... R....

    love this song. i saw them live back in 09. they honestly werent very good but i guess people have bad nights. Hope they keep this sortve music up.

  22. J.... S....

    By far, this is one of their best albums. I can feel a lot of soul in each song. Also, even with some key elements that are pure 7D, they are bringing something more, and it feels like a new chapter altogether.

  23. A.... C....

    This is definitely a personal song for them after all they've been through. This is definitely my favorite of the album...even though all the songs are me lol. This song just hits me. I love them for sticking together and giving us fans more great music to enjoy for years to come.

  24. A.... C....

    Love 7D!!! 15 years in and still loving them ♡
