No Rest For The Wicked
P.E. Lyrics

Sin ripped apart my family like a jackal on the carcass of a beast
Sin destroyed my family as viciously as a predator tearing the flesh of its kill.

Exposing all the vultures who were waiting in the wings to join the feast
Sin revealed those who were willing to take advantage of the situation for their own gain.

Descending like spiders, preparing to poison your prey
Those seeking revenge are like venomous spiders lurking, waiting to strike their target.

You smile on the outside while planning a way to make the guilty pay
Though you appear friendly, you are plotting a way to exact revenge on those who have wronged you.

But the payment is made
Revenge has already been taken; the debt has been paid.

Who would feast upon disgrace?
Who would take pleasure in the misfortunes of others?

Blackened hearts will try to raise the wages of sin
Those with dark hearts will try to encourage further wrongdoing.

Death has kissed the lives we knew
The tragedy of death has touched and forever changed our lives.

So isn't that enough for you?
Isn't the pain and suffering caused by death and sin already sufficient punishment?

The price was paid, and no one has to pay it again
The consequences have already been suffered; there is no need for further revenge or punishment.

Restoration, lifting up the fallen
We should aspire to heal and uplift those who have been hurt or damaged.

Edifying is our higher calling
Our duty is to improve ourselves and our communities through kindness and compassion.

If we fail to reconcile our brothers
If we cannot come to terms with and forgive those who have wronged us,

Then we only serve to tear each other down
We risk causing further harm and pain to ourselves and others.

The payment is made
The cycle of revenge and retribution is over; we can move towards healing and reconciliation.
