villainy thrives

Singer:trivium

i can feel it aching within every bone inside me

i can feel it breaking out retaliation: released

i need to cause the evil-doers' suffering

can't wait to choke the life out from your baneful bodies

if only i could afflict you

hurt you in the same way that you hurt

i just want to exact reprisal

retribution calls

the only way i depict you

is that your redemption's undeserved

meet the vessel of your reprisal

retribution calls

it's not that i take life for granted

it's only that the good won't make it

innocence dies while villainy thrives

how can you harm a living thing thinking that it's your right?

how can you defile a life deprive it of innocence?

for too long you have gotten away with murder

a fitting justice would be your painful execution

if only i could afflict you

hurt you in the same way that you hurt

i just want to exact reprisal

retribution calls

the only way i depict you

is that your redemption's undeserved

meet the vessel of your reprisal

retribution calls

it's not that i take life for granted

it's only that the good won't make it

innocence dies while villainy thrives

i want to ruin the rapist

punish the criminal

violate the abuser

end the murderer

it's not that i take life for granted

it's only that the good won't make it

innocence dies while villainy thrives

it's not that i take life for granted

it's only that the good won't make it

innocence dies while villainy thrives
