Vengeance
Woe Is Me Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We will live forever:

And if I were you I'd fear me more than death himself, because when I am through with all I'll do you'll wish to burn in motherfucking hell.
So let us open the gates of hell for the likes of you.
May God rest your soul when we are through.

This is our vengeance.
Orphan of broken dreams:
Your word isn't what it seems.
You're jealous and weak:
Stay humble and meek
And one day you might succeed.

Maybe one day I'll probably make more of an impact than you'll ever fake
And I'll take what is rightfully mine.
You ran away so I'm calling the shots this time.
I'll take their hopes I'll take their dreams +
I'll take everything that would ever mean a single hint of trust from them
You never cared so I will always win.

For every kid that you hear screaming loud and clear:
You left them in fear.

Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I ripped the tongue from his mouth and left him gasping for breath.
I told you that you'll reap what you sow:
But you wanted fame
So fuck your ego.

How could you think this would go down so easy?
Your words are misleading blinded by the glare of the spotlight now your fiending.
How could you think this would go down so easy?

Well you can huff and you can puff and try to blow my house down,
But I take comfort in the fact that I have stolen your crown.
Go ahead with the childish games you play and at the end of the day we've got the final say.
I bet you never saw this coming

The tensions rise in your mind and you think back to realizing everything that you left behind.
The mask that you wear is just an illusion we've picked up our cross we've found a solution.
You've lost your flames in the darkest of night your ambitions are falling out of sight.
Selfishness owns you I hope you can see,
The family you loved is now the enemy.





We will live forever.
