SWEET REVENGE

Woke up in the dead of night, something wasn't right,
Heard that creak of the door, saw the flicker of a light,
Heart pounding, couldn't breathe, fear in his chest,
Reached for the piece in the drawer right by his vest.
But he was too late, they were already inside,
Cold eyes, no mercy, nothing to hide.
Saw his wife on the floor, kids by her side,
Tears in his eyes, couldn't let this shit slide.

Gunshots rang out, shattered the peace,
Took away his love, left him on his knees.
Blood on the walls, screams in the air,
He watched his whole world disappear right there.
He Wanted to scream, he wanted to cry,
But all he could feel was this rage in his mind.
They took what he loved, and left him with pain,
Now all he wants is to do make them feel the same.

How do you heal when your world's torn apart?
When the love that you had turns to cold, into dark?
He's chasing revenge, with his heart on fire,
But the flames just consume, taking him higher.
He's lost in the shadows, searching for light,
But will revenge bring him peace, or steal his fucking life?

Spent days in the shadows, plotting his move,
Watching, waiting, nothing to lose.
He tracked them down, knew their every step,
Knew where they lived, and he where they slept.
But in his mind, the faces of his kids,
Haunting his thoughts, the life that he missed.
He's got the gun in his hand, but his finger on the trigger,
But revenge ain't as simple as pulling a figure.

He's torn apart, can't escape the thought,
Is it worth the price? The battle he fought?
But the anger's too deep, the pain too real,
He's drowning in hate, no time to heal.
So he kicks in the door, the tables have turned,
The fire in his eyes, the fury that burned.
They beg for mercy, but it's too late,
Because He's become the monster that they helped create.

How do you heal when your world's torn apart?
When the love that you had turns to cold, into dark?
He's chasing revenge, with his heart on fire,
But the flames just consume, taking him higher.
He's lost in the shadows, searching for light,
But will revenge bring him peace, or steal his fucking life?

And when it's done, what's left behind?
An empty shell, a shattered mind.
He got his revenge, but he lost his soul,
Now he's just a ghost, trapped in the cold.

The echoes of gunshots still ring in his head,
The bodies on the floor, and the blood that was shed.
He's back at home, but it's not the same,
The silence is deafening, filled with his shame.
He thought revenge would heal the hurt,
But now he's drowning, face in the dirt.
No peace, no solace, just endless regret,
He paid the price, but he can't forget.

Look in the mirror, can't recognize his face,
The man he once was, lost without a trace.
He's haunted by the ghosts of the ones he lost,
And the ones he took, he knew the cost.
Revenge was sweet, but the aftertaste is bitter,
Now he's just a broken man, a shadow that flickers.

How do you heal when your world's torn apart?
When the love that you had turns to cold, into dark?
He's chasing revenge, with his heart on fire,
But the flames just consume, taking him higher.
He's lost in the shadows, searching for light,
But will revenge bring him peace, or steal his fucking life?

In the end, what did he gain?
Just a heart full of scars and a mind in chains.
Revenge is a path that leads to the grave,
He's lost in the darkness, no soul left to save.
And as he fades into the night,
He's a warning to all who lose sight.
Revenge ain't the answer, it's a game you'll lose,
He paid the price, but it's not the life he'd choose.
