"Of Vengeance and Violence" is their third full-length album. It was released on September 19, 2006 through "Repossession Records". The international version was released by SPV Records. The album was leaked onto the Internet on August 22, 2006, almost a month before its official release date.
The lead singer, Cliff Rigano, has at one time said that the band will never "jump on the metalcore bandwagon" referering to the rise of metalcore music during 2000 nu metal album with a few nods to other genres, while the second album, with a new guitarist, explored different metal styles a little more. Their use at regular intervals of metal techniques, such as causing the guitar to "squeal" explains people's habit of calling them a metalcore band.

The Strength I Call My Own
Dry Kill Logic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Inside my mind, there is something left to find
It's like this focus, not no hocus pocus
Bullshit, don't quit before I have to throw a fit
You want this, need this, don't miss all this
Lies, lies, lies, lies
And I wander on alone, the strength that I will call my own
It's like this focus, not no hocus pocus
Bullshit, don't quit before I have to throw a fit
You want this, need this, don't miss all this
Your hostile lifestyle contributes to my profile
And this shit, that shit, all a bunch of bullshit
You sit back, lay back, enjoy your fuckin' kickbacks
Explode, unload, just like you're told
Lies, lies, lies, lies
And I will wander on alone, the strength that I will call my own
Everything I say comes back to haunt me
Everything I say will come back to haunt me
Lies, lies, lies, lies
And I will wander on alone, the strength that I will call my own
These lyrics from Dry Kill Logic's song The Strength I Call My Own reflect the inner struggle of an individual who is determined to find the strength within themselves to continue onward despite dealing with lies and betrayal. The chorus repeats the phrase "And I will wander on alone, the strength that I will call my own," reinforcing the idea that the singer is determined to find their inner strength regardless of the challenges they face.
The verse lyrics depict the struggle to distinguish truth from lies, feeling like everyone is full of bullshit and not wanting to quit in the face of adversity. The line "Your hostile lifestyle contributes to my profile" suggests that the singer is surrounded by individuals who are not helping them find their strength but are rather hindering their progress. Despite this, they remain determined to uncover the truth and overcome the obstacles in their path.
The final lines of the song suggest that the singer is aware of the consequences of their words and actions, acknowledging that what they say will come back to "haunt" them. This can be interpreted as a warning to others not to underestimate their resolve and determination to find their own strength and overcome any challenges they face.
