No Picture Kempy Lead Player	#1 by Kempy at Sep 27, 2007 at 7:16 AM EST
	this is an awesome song, and it is about herion junkies (says randy). The breakdown....it almost sounds like a strobe light of guitars...lol thats just what i thot when i firts heard it.

No Picture Robyn Average	#2 by Robyn Paul at Oct 1, 2007 at 1:02 PM EST
	guhhr she must have been a bitch.

No Picture MysticCat Wanna Be	#3 by MysticCat (Janis johnny Udodovs) at Oct 6, 2007 at 11:20 PM EST
	Originally I thought this song was about someone who you think is soo great and perfect and all they do is screw with your head, leading you on, as they do with everyone else. "A virgin whore in a dirty wedding dress" "There's poison in her veins, but the bitch comes for free, A quick fix for all that you think that you need." "She's all yours now, so deal with it." "Broken" Dunno, thats just me, my ideas dont tie in well with the title and a few lines.

No Picture Matt Average	#4 by Matt at Oct 8, 2007 at 2:10 AM EST
	this song is about drugs.........it's obvious... "Chasing a dragon".......also, "Try to see yourself in a shattered miror".....there's other references to drugs as well "A quick fix for all that you think that you need". Of course chasing the dragon.........that's heroin.....But I still am not clear on what this song means.....

No Picture Diego Wanna Be	#5 by Diego Rodriguez at Oct 8, 2007 at 7:47 PM EST
	Wow, seems like my first guess was completely off. Chris Ryff pretty much nailed it on the head. This song is about heroin abusers. I saw Randy talk about it in an interview on ultimate guitar. If anyone wants to see the article, here it is. http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/interviews/interviews/lamb_of_god_dont_fuck_with_us.html

No Picture Michael Rhythm Player	#6 by Michael Roache at Oct 9, 2007 at 7:27 AM EST
	Sacrament is a tame and ball-less album.

No Picture david Average	#7 by david maynard at Oct 13, 2007 at 7:20 AM EST
	Chicks...This is about chicks that use you and always come back when they need someone.

No Picture brad Average	#8 by brad everett at Oct 14, 2007 at 6:37 AM EST
	Great song. One of my personal favorites from the new CD. The lyrics are good, plenty of metaphors and refrences. I can't understand every line, but the general idea to me seems to be about marriage, or maybe it has to deal with the end of a marriage. I can't tell for sure. Any ideas anyone?

No Picture Gary Wanna Be	#9 by Gary Rossington at Oct 15, 2007 at 12:29 PM EST
	perfect song to close off the album. :)

No Picture Will Wanna Be	#10 by Will Hay at Oct 16, 2007 at 6:43 AM EST

No Picture Neal Average	#11 by Neal Breen at Oct 16, 2007 at 7:11 PM EST
	So's your face! Seriously though, I really wouldn't go as far to say Sacrament is a "tame and ball-less album." Sure, they've changed a lot since their Burn the Priest days, but is that necessarily a bad thing? Personally, I think they've grown a lot since then, and I seriously hope they continue to grow.

No Picture Average	#12 by nirvana at Oct 17, 2007 at 12:04 AM EST
	best song on this album, easily.
