The first chapter of Jorn Lande and Russell Allen’s collaboration, “The Battle” was unleashed in September 2005 with unanimous acclaim from fans and critics alike.
Many websites and magazines named it “Record of the Year”. It’s success made it one of the most popular releases ever in Melodic Heavy Metal, thanks to beautiful, sweeping piano and keyboards, heavy guitar riffs, virtuoso guitar solos, hooky choruses and the vocal talents of two of the finest Heavy Metal vocalists around.
Russell Allen is the singer of the American Progressive Metal band SYMPHONY X, who have released six studio albums and one live record so far. More than once SYMPHONY X received accolades such as "Best Progressive Power Metal Band Worldwide" or awards for the "Best Progressive Metal Album of the Year".

Russell Allen & Jorn Lande Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I want you to feel it in your bones
Want you to feel all of my pain
See all the demons
in the world that you created
I want you to live one of my days
Want you to dream one of my dreams
[Chorus:]
I can remember now
everything you ever said to me
I can recall the pain
And now the time has come
I can remember now
All the words that made me disappear
I can recall the pain
And now the time has come
For my revenge
Do you believe I will forget
Do you think that I won´t see
All the lies that you are hiding behind
Now is your turn to live in fear
Now is your turn to hide in the dark
The time has come for you to feel what I feel
[Chorus x2]
The lyrics of The Revenge by Russell Allen and Jorn Lande depict a vengeful character who wants the person who caused them pain to feel the same. The person wants the culprit to feel the demons and pain they have created in their world. They are not in a forgiving mood, and they want the person to live one of their days and dream their nightmare. The singer wants the person to know how it feels to walk in their shoes, and they believe that time has come for that person to experience their pain.
The chorus of the song underlines the character's deep desire for revenge as they remember all the pain and hurt that person has caused, and now they are ready to reciprocate. They want to recall the pain they have endured and take revenge on the person who has caused that discomfort. The singer wants to make sure that the people who have caused them pain would feel the same in return. The lyrics show a solid determination to get revenge on someone who has caused them significant pain and hurt.
