1. Enraged
You took my wings
And I took your life
A fair trade by any measure
If you ever try to restore
That broken body of yours
I’ll be there waiting for you
Even if my face is young
My mind is ancient
(And) my hate is ancient
As well as my love
FEEL FREE TO QUESTION ME
LET OU
T ALL THE HATE YOU FEEL
BUT I THINK WE CAN AGREE
IN LOVE AND WAR NOTHING IS IDEAL
AND THIS IS BOTH
A different face
But all the same rage
I make my stand
On desecrated grounds
When bloodlust claims me
You better watch out
I’m coming after you with all I got
Even if my face is young
My mind is ancient
(And) my hate is ancient
As well as my love
FEEL FREE TO QUESTION ME
LET OUT ALL THE HATE YOU FEEL
BUT I THINK WE CAN AGREE
IN LOVE AND WAR NOTHING IS IDEAL
AND THIS IS BOTH
All is fair in love and war
All is fair in love and war
FEEL FREE TO QUESTION ME
LET OUT ALL THE HATE YOU FEEL
BUT I THINK WE CAN AGREE
IN LOVE AND WAR NOTHING IS IDEAL
AND THIS IS BOTH
FEEL FREE TO QUESTION ME
LET OUT ALL THE HATE YOU FEEL
BUT I THINK WE CAN AGREE
IN LOVE AND WAR NOTHING IS IDEAL
IN LOVE AND WAR
2. The Worst Day (Revisited)
Speeding down memory lane
I find a lot of grudges to be held
But a few ripe enough to let go
She hailed like a storm wind
I hardly knew what hit me
My heart was taken hostage
And then it’s just illusory
We all know there’s no happy ending
Only a varied haul before the bad one
Sometimes you have to lose everything to find yourself
May the bridges that I burn
Light the way on this nameless road
We passed the point of no return
And watched the worst day unfold
How’s life treating you?
Undeniably better than you ever did
For once I’m just going to call it for what it was
A futile dream stuffed with naivety
Built on pillars of lies and egoism
You had your reason, I had my pride
And with my pride I soldier on
May the bridges that I burn
Light the way on this nameless road
We passed the point of no return
And watched the worst day unfold
We are not fooling anyone
We are both going to burn in hell
I will book the furnace next to you
And we can argue for eternity
Whoever mistreated who the most
Since there’s a dispute on the matter
May the bridges that I burn
Light the way on this nameless road
We passed the point of no return
And watched the worst day unfold
And I would let you of the hook
But it’s such a complex hook
Better be leaving on the road
Never ask which way I took
3. King Of Clubs
[Richard:]
This is my city now
An alien city I will exploit it all
And bend it to my needs
Much like the locust you are
Consuming everything
Deplete and find another target
You have no idea what you brought in
[Roland:]
To never be good enough for you
[Richard:]
But nothing was ever good enough for you
[Chorus:]
HEAR ME OUT;
IF IT WAS A GAME WHO'S THE WINNER NOW?
YOU KNOW, CAUSE I FAIL TO SEE
IF THERE'S REALLY ONE AT ALL
(FEELS LIKE DIVING) FACE FORWARD
INTO A SOLID BRICK WALL
[Richard:]
You have launched me
Into eternity
Hate was always my trade
Until I met you
It has found its way back
For that you'll get full credit
We had a mission and you failed it
Bringing down the team
[Roland:]
To never be good enough for you
[Chorus:]
HEAR ME OUT;
IF IT WAS A GAME WHO'S THE WINNER NOW?
YOU KNOW, CAUSE I FAIL TO SEE
IF THERE'S REALLY ONE AT ALL
(FEELS LIKE DIVING) FACE FORWARD
INTO A SOLID BRICK WALL
THIS IS A CASE OF MY DARKNESS
VERSUS YOUR INSTABILITY
(AND) THERE'S NO JUDGE, JURY,
ATTORNEY OR LAWYER THAT CAN EVER SOLVE IT
[Richard:]
This is for the nights I waited on you
This is for the fortune I wasted on us
And this is for giving up my entire life
just to be with you
But the saddest part of it all
Is that I would do it all again, given the chance
Have no illusions, I still think you are a coward
Who gave up the fight,
Instead of gritting one's teeth and pulling through
[Roland:]
To never be good enough for you
[Richard:]
But nothing was ever good enough for you
[Chorus:]
HEAR ME OUT;
IF IT WAS A GAME WHO'S THE WINNER NOW?
YOU KNOW, CAUSE I FAIL TO SEE
IF THERE'S REALLY ONE AT ALL
(FEELS LIKE DIVING) FACE FORWARD
INTO A SOLID BRICK WALL
THIS IS A CASE OF MY DARKNESS
VERSUS YOUR INSTABILITY
(AND) THERE'S NO JUDGE, JURY,
ATTORNEY OR LAWYER THAT CAN EVER SOLVE IT
[Richard:]
Only thing worse than the worst day
Is the worst day revisited
The same dagger is buried in my spine
But different people keep twisting it
Soon you're going to need a bigger knife
To effectively damage me
But I'm proud of who I am, and of what I've become
The King of Clubs
4. Heartseeker
[Roland:]
You can search a lifetime for true love
(But) if you find it
Do you have what it takes to conduct and keep it?
Having you was a gift
(Just) as much as it was a curse
A burden that now has run its course
[Richard:]
You went completely postal in the sanctum of my heart
[Roland:]
I regret that I allowed you in at all
[Chorus:]
DID I ALWAYS SAY THE RIGHT THINGS WRONG?
ALL QUESTIONS I HAD, LEFT UNANSWERED
DO GOOD THINGS EVER COME TO THOSE WHO WAIT?
OR DO THEY JUST WAIT FOREVER?
[Roland:]
Sometimes you need to pause life and get out
To check if you're on the right train
I guess that's what you did?
(And) when the fat lady finally sang;
The worst part was not to lose true love
The worst part was to lose my best friend
[Richard:]
I'll be another stone in that heavy backpack of yours
[Roland:]
And you'll forever be the one that got away
[Chorus:]
DID I ALWAYS SAY THE RIGHT THINGS WRONG?
ALL QUESTIONS I HAD, LEFT UNANSWERED
DO GOOD THINGS EVER COME TO THOSE WHO WAIT?
OR DO THEY JUST WAIT FOREVER?
[Richard:]
Forever looks awfully much like 4 years.
4 years, 3 months and 9 days to be more precise
Now you know kids
[Chorus:]
DID I ALWAYS SAY THE RIGHT THINGS WRONG?
ALL QUESTIONS I HAD, LEFT UNANSWERED
DO GOOD THINGS EVER COME TO THOSE WHO WAIT?
OR DO THEY JUST WAIT FOREVER?
GOT TO BE WHO YOU ARE IN THIS WORLD
NEVER WALK OUT ON YOUR OWN STORY
BUT IF YOU EVER NEED ME AGAIN
YOU KNOW THAT I'LL BE, I'LL BE AROUND
5. Phobos Grip
As natural (as) it seems not to bring sticks and stones to a knife fight
You shouldn't bring guns to a nuclear war
Finally free, with some intervention by a loyal bogey
Evil has left the building
But my heart is full throttle aching
As devious as the stone face of Mars watches Phobos
The unguided mauler will strike at the heart of fear
And in my escape I managed to get a good hit at him
It was not enough to end my torturer
But you didn't have to cut me up
[Chorus:]
HEART LIKE A ROCK WHEN THEIR HEADS GONNA ROLL
I WILL BRING BACK EVERYTHING THEY STOLE
NO MEMORY LEFT OF DAYLIGHT
GIMMIE, GIMMIE, GIMME YOUR BLOOD AFTER MIDNIGHT
TIME IT TAKES AND NEVER GIVES
IT WILL DECIDE WHO LIVES
BUT FIRST I MUST SET THIS STRAIGHT
SMASH, SMASH, SMASH DOWN HEAVEN'S GATE
What information, he retrieved from me
I do not know, but they needed it badly
Know this; I'm not human, only human enough
But I'm wired directly, to the core of this world
As devious as the stone face of Mars watches Phobos
The unguided mauler will strike at the heart of fear
But you didn't have to cut me up
[Chorus:]
HEART LIKE A ROCK WHEN THEIR HEADS GONNA ROLL
I WILL BRING BACK EVERYTHING THEY STOLE
NO MEMORY LEFT OF DAYLIGHT
GIMMIE, GIMMIE, GIMME YOUR BLOOD AFTER MIDNIGHT
TIME IT TAKES AND NEVER GIVES
IT WILL DECIDE WHO LIVES
BUT FIRST I MUST SET THIS STRAIGHT
SMASH, SMASH, SMASH DOWN HEAVEN'S GATE
The brighter I shine, the denser my shadow grows
They must not establish an uplink, to this planet's soul
But you didn't have to cut me up
Why did you cut me up?
[Chorus:]
HEART LIKE A ROCK WHEN THEIR HEADS GONNA ROLL
I WILL BRING BACK EVERYTHING THEY STOLE
NO MEMORY LEFT OF DAYLIGHT
GIMMIE, GIMMIE, GIMME YOUR BLOOD AFTER MIDNIGHT
TIME IT TAKES AND NEVER GIVES
IT WILL DECIDE WHO LIVES
BUT FIRST I MUST SET THIS STRAIGHT
SMASH, SMASH, SMASH DOWN HEAVEN'S GATE
HEART LIKE A ROCK WHEN THEIR HEADS GONNA ROLL
NO MEMORY LEFT OF DAYLIGHT
GIMMIE, GIMMIE, GIMME YOUR BLOOD AFTER MIDNIGHT
6. Black-Eyed Angel
She is back, Forever we waited, For Eve's return
Oh, what a return, She is the key
The kiss of death, In this final hour
You know her, You've always known her
From the fireside of Eden
Her dark orbs stared right at you
Holding a freshly salvaged demon heart
In a firm grip with her pale hands
That's how you remember her
And naturally how she should be remembered
[Chorus:]
EVERYONE IS HAUNTED BY THE PAST
(FEW GET THE OPPORTUNITY TO CHANGE IT)
FINALLY TOGETHER AT LONG LAST
(MILLENNIUMS PAST SINCE THE STRANGE SPLIT)
I lost you once, It's not going to happen again
I know what Hell looks like
I'll tell you all about it, I'VE BEEN THERE
Do you remember ancient times,
when you broke a piece of your heart
Forever it hung around my neck,
forever it was my beacon of light
God's influence here is thin and threadbare
And I hit the tornado head on,
just didn't think the storm would last this long
[Chorus:]
EVERYONE IS HAUNTED BY THE PAST
(FEW GET THE OPPORTUNITY TO CHANGE IT)
FINALLY TOGETHER AT LONG LAST
(MILLENNIUMS PAST SINCE THE STRANGE SPLIT)
EVERYONE IS HAUNTED BY THE PAST
(FEW GET THE OPPORTUNITY TO CHANGE IT)
FINALLY TOGETHER AT LONG LAST
(MILLENNIUMS PAST SINCE THE STRANGE SPLIT)
We will save this world together
It's me and you forever
[Chorus:]
EVERYONE IS HAUNTED BY THE PAST
(FEW GET THE OPPORTUNITY TO CHANGE IT)
FINALLY TOGETHER AT LONG LAST
(MILLENNIUMS PAST SINCE THE STRANGE SPLIT)
EVERYONE IS HAUNTED BY THE PAST
(HAUNTED, HAUNTED BY THE PAST)
FINALLY TOGETHER AT LONG LAST
(AT LONG LAST)
We will save this world together
It's me and you forever
7. Operation: E.A.E.
We sacrificed everything
To infiltrate the cage
of this self-proclaimed God
Ready at the entrance of Hell
You might have diamond skin
But you will never escape our irradiated fury
We will take the power back
And put an end to this conflict
A whole race at gunpoint, Six wraiths were lost
Uncounted human casualties
(That's) the damage you have done
[Chorus:]
THEY BUILT WALLS NOT TO KEEP US OUT
BUT TO KEEP THEM IN
ALL PLACES, ALL THINGS HAVE SOULS
(AND) ALL SOULS CAN BE DEVOURED
BE DEVOURED
Your bionic eyes
Won't witness another sunrise
The torment of your kind
Won't ever defeat us
A whole race at gunpoint, Six wraiths were lost
Uncounted human casualties
(That's) the damage you have done, You have done
[Chorus:]
THEY BUILT WALLS NOT TO KEEP US OUT
BUT TO KEEP THEM IN
ALL PLACES, ALL THINGS HAVE SOULS
(AND) ALL SOULS CAN BE DEVOURED
This is a broken world Emanate and Eradicate
This is a broken world Emanate and Eradicate
Six years and a day, Make it rain, bullets and flames
Bring forth Heaven's Bane, The cog must be destroyed
As free men we will rise again tomorrow
[Chorus:]
THEY BUILT WALLS NOT TO KEEP US OUT
BUT TO KEEP THEM IN
ALL PLACES, ALL THINGS HAVE SOULS
(AND) ALL SOULS CAN BE DEVOURED
THEY BUILT WALLS TO KEEP THEM IN
This is a broken world Emanate and Eradicate
This is a broken world Emanate and Eradicate
Six years and a day, Make it rain, bullets and flames
Bring forth Heaven's Bane, The cog must be destroyed
8. Boneyard
[Roland:]
Leave your troubles for a while
They'll still be there when you come back
Time is always too short, for those who really need it
[Richard:]
Where no ghost is holy, only dead
I'm just a soul attached to a corpse
[Roland:]
All species are equal,
but some just seem a bit more equal
Even if it's just the same debris,
but different protein structure
[Richard:]
Black knight satellite
How long have you silently
observed our self-destruction
[Chorus:]
KEEP TELLING YOURSELF
HEAVEN IS WORTH THE WAITING
WE ARE ALL STUCK HERE
ON THIS BONEYARD OF OUR OWN MAKING
[Roland:]
Each day you live your life the exact same way
And for some reason
You still expect different results?
[Richard:]
Different results, different results
[Chorus:]
KEEP TELLING YOURSELF
HEAVEN IS WORTH THE WAITING
WE ARE ALL STUCK HERE
ON THIS BONEYARD OF OUR OWN MAKING
IT TAKES LIFE TO CREATE LIFE
WHAT DO WE DO WHEN IT'S ALL GONE?
AREN'T YOU PROUD OF THIS
BONEYARD WE CALL EARTH?
[Richard:]
Tried to change the world, Only to find out
It's the people we need to change
The people need to change
[Roland:]
The healthy have a thousands wishes,
the sick have but only one
Listen to our planet's screams,
she only wishes to be healed
[Chorus:]
KEEP TELLING YOURSELF
HEAVEN IS WORTH THE WAITING
WE ARE ALL STUCK HERE
ON THIS BONEYARD OF OUR OWN MAKING
IT TAKES LIFE TO CREATE LIFE
WHAT DO WE DO WHEN IT'S ALL GONE?
AREN'T YOU PROUD OF THIS
BONEYARD WE CALL EARTH?
9. Hate (And Other Triumphs)
[Roland:]
My entire life, I've been waiting for this moment
But now when it's right in front of me
I can't make no sense of it
Is this really what it's all about?
Why do I urge to find a way out?
And build a new life far away from here
[Richard:]
The glaives cut their way in
And the hammer did its ultimate job
In a single strike, the cog was no more
Our revolution and undying hope, carried victory
[Chorus:]
FINALLY THE WAR IS OVER
BUT WHAT DO WE HAVE LEFT BUT HATE?
THERE IS NOTHING LEFT BUT HATE
(AND) BLINDLY WE FOLLOW DEATH'S DROVER
BEING PULLED TOWARDS OUR OWN FATE
THERE IS NOTHING LEFT BUT HATE
[Richard:]
The wrath of heaven
Is serene for now
But the darkness will return
It always does…
[Roland:]
A child will be born
Who will give back to earth
What we have taken from it
Whilst walking in his father's shadow
[Chorus:]
FINALLY THE WAR IS OVER
BUT WHAT DO WE HAVE LEFT BUT HATE?
THERE IS NOTHING LEFT BUT HATE
(AND) BLINDLY WE FOLLOW DEATH'S DROVER
BEING PULLED TOWARDS OUR OWN FATE
BUT WHAT IS LEFT BUT HATE?
[Speak:]
Savor the peace for it won't last
Enjoy the silence while it's still here
And prepare for vengeance
Because it's coming your way
Unguided we were
Unguided we will be
10. Mercy
[Bonus Track]
Spit out the bitter taste of hate
Everything that is now wrong, was once right
This is going to get a lot worse before it gets better
And I don’t even care who shot first
(Because) you’re (all) lost to where light doesn’t travel
Your hatred is growing strong
When you are knee-deep in the dead
But I will always give you the opportunity to choose life
In this game, the only winning move is not to play at all
Everything not saved, will be lost forever
YOU SAW ME FALL FROM THE SKY
WE ARE THE LAST OF OUR KIND
PEACE IS HARD TO COME BY
LEAVING HEAVEN BEHIND
I’M NOT THE SON OF MAN, FOR ME THE RULES DO NOT APPLY
I SHOW MERCY TO OUR NEMESIS, I WON’T BE PREDEFINED
Evil is always possible, goodness is eternally difficult
But misunderstand me right; both are equally necessary
We are not strong, despite one another
We will always be strong, because of one another
Spit out the bitter taste of hate, the bitter taste of hate
Everything that is now wrong, was once right
You saw me fall from the sky
And we left heaven behind
Heaven behind
YOU SAW ME FALL FROM THE SKY
WE ARE THE LAST OF OUR KIND
PEACE IS HARD TO COME BY
LEAVING HEAVEN BEHIND
I’M NOT THE SON OF MAN, FOR ME THE RULES DO NOT APPLY
I SHOW MERCY TO OUR NEMESIS, I WON’T BE PREDEFINED
YOU SAW ME FALL FROM THE SKY
AND AFTER ALL I CAN’T DENY
I’M NOT THE SON OF MAN, FOR ME THE RULES DO NOT APPLY
I SHOW MERCY TO OUR NEMESIS, I WON’T BE PREDEFINED
11. Judgment
[Bonus Track]
In the darkest hour of deceit
From the highest heavens; finally released
One of the three thrones is now my seat
And on the traitors mind I will feast
Fear must go on
Overkill is underrated
WHEN EVERYONE SAYS YES, I WILL ALWAYS SAY NO
IT’S MY LAWS YOU WILL HAVE TO FOLLOW
Life is the longest journey
One will ever experience
I have lived for eons
But no patience for disobedience
If you don’t bend, I will break you
Whilst I blind you with my blue eyes radiance
WHEN EVERYONE SAYS YES, I WILL ALWAYS SAY NO
IT’S MY LAWS YOU WILL HAVE TO FOLLOW
AND I WILL BRING ORDER, TO THIS SHELL SHOCKED LAND
MY WISH WILL ALWAYS BE YOUR COMMAND
Enough justice have been served
Enough justice…
I am judgment
I am primeval
I take no prisoners
I take their life
Those who know
Do not speak
Those who speak
Do not know
Enough justice have been served
And fear must always go on
Enough justice have been served

(AND) ALL SOULS CAN BE DEVOURED
THEY BUILT WALLS TO KEEP THEM IN
This is a broken world Emanate and Eradicate
This is a broken world Emanate and Eradicate
Six years and a day, Make it rain, bullets and flames
Bring forth Heaven's Bane, The cog must be destroyed
8. Boneyard
[Roland:]
Leave your troubles for a while
They'll still be there when you come back
Time is always too short, for those who really need it
[Richard:]
Where no ghost is holy, only dead
I'm just a soul attached to a corpse
[Roland:]
All species are equal,
but some just seem a bit more equal
Even if it's just the same debris,
but different protein structure
[Richard:]
Black knight satellite
How long have you silently
observed our self-destruction
[Chorus:]
KEEP TELLING YOURSELF
HEAVEN IS WORTH THE WAITING
WE ARE ALL STUCK HERE
ON THIS BONEYARD OF OUR OWN MAKING
[Roland:]
Each day you live your life the exact same way
And for some reason
You still expect different results?
[Richard:]
Different results, different results
[Chorus:]
KEEP TELLING YOURSELF
HEAVEN IS WORTH THE WAITING
WE ARE ALL STUCK HERE
ON THIS BONEYARD OF OUR OWN MAKING
IT TAKES LIFE TO CREATE LIFE
WHAT DO WE DO WHEN IT'S ALL GONE?
AREN'T YOU PROUD OF THIS
BONEYARD WE CALL EARTH?
[Richard:]
Tried to change the world, Only to find out
It's the people we need to change
The people need to change
[Roland:]
The healthy have a thousands wishes,
the sick have but only one
Listen to our planet's screams,
she only wishes to be healed
[Chorus:]
KEEP TELLING YOURSELF
HEAVEN IS WORTH THE WAITING
WE ARE ALL STUCK HERE
ON THIS BONEYARD OF OUR OWN MAKING
IT TAKES LIFE TO CREATE LIFE
WHAT DO WE DO WHEN IT'S ALL GONE?
AREN'T YOU PROUD OF THIS
BONEYARD WE CALL EARTH?
9. Hate (And Other Triumphs)
[Roland:]
My entire life, I've been waiting for this moment
But now when it's right in front of me
I can't make no sense of it
Is this really what it's all about?
Why do I urge to find a way out?
And build a new life far away from here
[Richard:]
The glaives cut their way in
And the hammer did its ultimate job
In a single strike, the cog was no more
Our revolution and undying hope, carried victory
[Chorus:]
FINALLY THE WAR IS OVER
BUT WHAT DO WE HAVE LEFT BUT HATE?
THERE IS NOTHING LEFT BUT HATE
(AND) BLINDLY WE FOLLOW DEATH'S DROVER
BEING PULLED TOWARDS OUR OWN FATE
THERE IS NOTHING LEFT BUT HATE
[Richard:]
The wrath of heaven
Is serene for now
But the darkness will return
It always does…
[Roland:]
A child will be born
Who will give back to earth
What we have taken from it
Whilst walking in his father's shadow
[Chorus:]
FINALLY THE WAR IS OVER
BUT WHAT DO WE HAVE LEFT BUT HATE?
THERE IS NOTHING LEFT BUT HATE
(AND) BLINDLY WE FOLLOW DEATH'S DROVER
BEING PULLED TOWARDS OUR OWN FATE
BUT WHAT IS LEFT BUT HATE?
[Speak:]
Savor the peace for it won't last
Enjoy the silence while it's still here
And prepare for vengeance
Because it's coming your way
Unguided we were
Unguided we will be
10. Mercy
[Bonus Track]
Spit out the bitter taste of hate
Everything that is now wrong, was once right
This is going to get a lot worse before it gets better
And I don’t even care who shot first
(Because) you’re (all) lost to where light doesn’t travel
Your hatred is growing strong
When you are knee-deep in the dead
But I will always give you the opportunity to choose life
In this game, the only winning move is not to play at all
Everything not saved, will be lost forever
YOU SAW ME FALL FROM THE SKY
WE ARE THE LAST OF OUR KIND
PEACE IS HARD TO COME BY
LEAVING HEAVEN BEHIND
I’M NOT THE SON OF MAN, FOR ME THE RULES DO NOT APPLY
I SHOW MERCY TO OUR NEMESIS, I WON’T BE PREDEFINED
Evil is always possible, goodness is eternally difficult
But misunderstand me right; both are equally necessary
We are not strong, despite one another
We will always be strong, because of one another
Spit out the bitter taste of hate, the bitter taste of hate
Everything that is now wrong, was once right
You saw me fall from the sky
And we left heaven behind
Heaven behind
YOU SAW ME FALL FROM THE SKY
WE ARE THE LAST OF OUR KIND
PEACE IS HARD TO COME BY
LEAVING HEAVEN BEHIND
I’M NOT THE SON OF MAN, FOR ME THE RULES DO NOT APPLY
I SHOW MERCY TO OUR NEMESIS, I WON’T BE PREDEFINED
YOU SAW ME FALL FROM THE SKY
AND AFTER ALL I CAN’T DENY
I’M NOT THE SON OF MAN, FOR ME THE RULES DO NOT APPLY
I SHOW MERCY TO OUR NEMESIS, I WON’T BE PREDEFINED
11. Judgment
[Bonus Track]
In the darkest hour of deceit
From the highest heavens; finally released
One of the three thrones is now my seat
And on the traitors mind I will feast
Fear must go on
Overkill is underrated
WHEN EVERYONE SAYS YES, I WILL ALWAYS SAY NO
IT’S MY LAWS YOU WILL HAVE TO FOLLOW
Life is the longest journey
One will ever experience
I have lived for eons
But no patience for disobedience
If you don’t bend, I will break you
Whilst I blind you with my blue eyes radiance
WHEN EVERYONE SAYS YES, I WILL ALWAYS SAY NO
IT’S MY LAWS YOU WILL HAVE TO FOLLOW
AND I WILL BRING ORDER, TO THIS SHELL SHOCKED LAND
MY WISH WILL ALWAYS BE YOUR COMMAND
Enough justice have been served
Enough justice…
I am judgment
I am primeval
I take no prisoners
I take their life
Those who know
Do not speak
Those who speak
Do not know
Enough justice have been served
And fear must always go on
Enough justice have been served
