Vengeance

I don't know why I done it or why the young kid did but when I looked him in the eyes I knew he lost his bid too late to turn the pages back as he laid there on the ground but kid or not he fired the shot that brought my brother down Vengance two lives for one ain't no fun power with a gun vengeance two young men died because a woman lied won't see another son Sitting here now it's judgment day the jury named the price I've got to pay what I took away, society's price is life. Sent away that date to await my fate my family cries unfair behind the bars never again see stars I await the electric chair vengeance killed a child in the night vengeance can't chose wrong from right vengeance took a gun and did some harm vengeance took a child from Mama's arms Been behind the walls waiting for my time to die. Wish I could get another chance, could get another try I never took drugs, stole a dime, or even messed with booze but when vengeance comes and grabs a gun and takes a life you loose. vengeance
