[English]

Little grave I'm grieving, I will mend you

Sweet revenge I'm dreaming, I will end you

I've been here since dawn of time

Countless hatreds built my shrine

I was born in anger's flame

He was Abel, I was Cain

I am here

I'm hell unbound

Burn your kingdom to the ground

To the ground

...

Here comes revenge, just for you

Revenge, you can't undo

Revenge, it's killing me

Revenge, set me free

Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth

A life for a life, it's my burden of proof

Revenge, just for you

Revenge

You ask forgiveness, I give you sweet revenge

...

I return this nightmare, I will find you

Sleepless, cloaked in despair, I'm behind you

Man has made me oh so strong

Blurring lines of right and wrong

Far too late for frail amends

Now it's come to sweet revenge

Desperate hands

That lose control

Have no mercy on your soul

On your soul

...

Here comes revenge, just for you

Revenge, you can't undo

Revenge, is killing me

Revenge, set me free

Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth

A life for a life, it's my burden of proof

Revenge, just for you

Revenge

You ask forgiveness, I give you sweet revenge

...

Here comes revenge, just for you

Revenge, you can't undo

Revenge, is killing me

Revenge, set me free

Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth

A life for a life, it's my burden of proof

Revenge, just for you

Revenge

You ask forgiveness, I give you sweet revenge

Sweet revenge

...
