Revenge


The quenching draught of a bitter man Justice wrought by his own hand The guilty shall suffer for their deed 'Swift justice' the verdict will read A tooth for a tooth, an eye for eye Guided by 'righteousness', his mission's a lie What a man sows, he shall receive Vengeance, the beast, grants no reprieve He consumes reason, the heart knows no truth An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth
