An Eye for the Jackal

Alone in a tortured mind
The warrior judges his own soul
The price for vengeance
It's too much to bear
Made to fight
Built to kill
A weapon tempered by war
Merciless
Murderous
Created to terminate
And yet despite the circumstances
The stone hearted killer
Knows peace
He knows love
He knows heartbreak
The cost of failure
Cuts him right to the bone
A debt paid in violence
The ledger stained red with blood
Heavy weighs the heart
Low hangs the head
Anguish for rage
Coals of hatred
Embers of malice
Feeds the bloodlust
And it challenges the mettle of the man
The fire rises
It breaks his heart
Fuel the machine hellbent on vengeance
Witness this cold rebirth
A new apex in the kingdom of pain
Sharpens the steel
Honed by retribution
Greif whets the appetite
Target acquired
Fucking eviscerate the motherfucker that took his voice
An eye for the jackal just to watch the pig die
A crimson payment to preserve the code
Birth of the two toned terror that haunts this world
Haunts this world
He shed his skin
The old husk left behind
A bleak metamorphosis
Made the monster
Sustained by the lives that he takes
Desperate to fill the void
At the end of a bullet or a blade
Your life is fucking forfeit
Dead weight
No mercy, no fucking forgiveness
No quarter, no second chances
The cold hearted father
He knows no peace
He's given into the fury
He's become one with the rage
No rest, no solace
No peace, no comfort
A flesh and bone reaper
Harvesting the souls of the lost
Buried by the failures
Hardened by the indignation
Reforged in the fire
Blood drunk on the souls of the damned
No way to atone for the past
No mercy, no fucking forgiveness
No mercy, no fucking forgiveness
