Vengeance

Unquenchable thirst for vengeance
The desire for reprisal
Hatred filling the mind
Darkness filling your sight

Tears they made you shed
Pain they made you feel
You won't give up
Until they're dust and bone

Retribution comes with a cost
One that the wise choose to evade
Wait for it to happen
Just don't get in it's way

Not a tool of vengeance
It'll come of its own accord
Not a tool of vengeance
They'll hang by their own evil cord

Don't get in the way
Or you'll have to pay
Too
