I'm hearing this sort of like Pain of Salvation only heavy on the metal.

"The Words I've Spoken"

Gather up your voices
Shout out at the ones that are tied down
Make the walls shake
Feel the earth quake
Let them know we're still around

(vs.1)
You have heard the words I've spoken
There's nothing more I can say to you
What I tell you now is only repetition
Of what I've already told you to do

(vs.2)
Since the day I left it's been all up to you
You've taken what I've said and kept it alive
Shadow of the spirit that lingered and grew
Centuries of time I've survived

(Chorus)
Gather up your voices
Shout out to the ones that are tied down
Make the walls shake
Feel the earth quake
Let them know we're still around

Lift your voices
Lift your hands
Lift your hearts up
For the man, for the man

(vs.3)
Tell it to the masses and make their tears burn
Make them tremble without explanation
Open closed eyes that have been undiscerning
Give them a chance for a new creation

(Chorus)

(Break)
You've followed in the footsteps walked for thousands of years
Though there's sometimes poison stirring that's a trademark of man
Give the gifts you've been given to those who haven't heard
That in the glorious beginning was first the word

(Chorus)

(Spoken)
You have heard the words I've spoken
There's nothing more I can say to you
What I tell you now is only repetition
Of what I've already told you to do
