Revenge
Final Exit Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This is revenge...

For the blood you've shed!

Time has passed us by, I see no end to the slaughter.
It seems your sense of responsibility is as non-existent
As my sympathy for you. You light the fire. You feel it burn.
It gets too hot. You walk away.
Too late for apologies.
Too late for apologies.
Too late for apologies.
This is revenge...
Revenge for the blood you've shed!

You lit the fire and then just turned and walked away.
This is revenge , my friend. This time you're gonna pay.




I have no sympathy, you're never gonna learn.
You lit the fire, and now you're gonna burn.
