Story behind the song
No Rest for the Guilty is a dark, hard-hitting rock/metal anthem that confronts fear, manipulation, and the violence hidden behind false promises of peace. Driven by relentless energy and confrontational lyrics, the song explores a world where truth is weaponized, innocence is expendable, and silence is no longer an option. Written by David Blaze, No Rest for the Guilty is a battle cry for those who refuse to sleep through the lies and choose to stand upright while everything burns down.
Lyrics
Hush now don’t close your eyes
Feel the war crawl through your mind
Shadows move behind the walls
Every promise set to fall
Prayers for sale, truth on a leash
Fear is how they keep the peace
Lullabies of loaded guns
Teach the weak to hate as one
Sleepwalking through sacred lies
Dreaming while tomorrow dies
Count the sins, feel the pull
Innocence is not immune
No rest for the guilty mind
No peace in the fire we find
Say your prayers, load the blame
We’re all fuel in the holy flame
No rest when the sirens sound
No sleep till it burns down
Flags wrapped tight around the hate
Feeding fear to congregate
Words like bullets, sharp and fast
Peace is preached, the bombs are cast
History repeats the crime
Same old blood, a different time
Draw the line, choose the fight
Bow your heador stand upright
No rest for the guilty mind
No peace in the fire we find
Say your prayers, load the blame
We’re all fuel in the holy flame
No rest when the sirens sound
No sleep till it burns down
False gods! Dead laws!
Blood-stained truth behind closed doors
Stand up! Strike back!
No more chains across our backs
No resthear the battle cry
No sleepthis world won’t die
We rise from underground
No rest till it burns down
Sleep is dead.
