They took your breath in a backstreet night
Left your blood on the concrete floor
Sirens sang like a funeral hymn
I was never the same anymore
Your eyes still burn behind my lids
Every scream I never heard
The world kept spinning, blind and deaf
While my soul was torn and blurred
I buried mercy with your name
Lit my heart with hate and flame
I trade my life for one last scream
I’ll burn this world to make you see
There’s no tomorrow, no release
Only vengeance breathing in me
I walk alone through fire and sin
With your ghost carved under my skin
I won’t be saved, I won’t be saved
Till your killers bleed for me
I drink my sleep from broken glass
Dreams taste like rust and rain
Every mirror shows a stranger’s face
A man forged out of pain
Your laughter echoes in the dark
Like a curse I can’t outrun
I pray to nothing, trust no god
My war has just begun
No heaven waits at journey’s end
Just a blade and broken men
I trade my life for one last scream
I’ll burn this world to make you see
There’s no tomorrow, no release
Only vengeance breathing in me
I walk alone through fire and sin
With your ghost carved under my skin
I won’t be saved, I won’t be free
Till your killers bleed for me
If I die tonight, don’t call it loss
I crossed the line, I paid the cost
Love turned into loaded steel
This is the only thing I feel
No fear!
No mercy!
No grave!
No peace!
I trade my soul for one last truth
They’ll know your name before I’m through
Let the darkness swallow me
I chose this hell willingly
When the smoke clears, I’ll stand alone
A heart of ash, a spine of stone
I won’t be saved, I won’t be free
This is my vow — my revenge creed
Your death made me what I am
A living curse…
A dying man
