Prayer of Revenge
By Scott Badger
Was it abuse that turned you to stone?
What did you lose? Who must atone?
When you're hurt way deep inside (revenge)
When a part of you has died (revenge)
So this is your prayer of revenge,
This is your prayer of revenge
For the unfaithful,
The deceitful,
The malicious, and the proud
The slanderers,
The cheaters,
The heartless, and now …
It's a tooth for a tooth
And an eye for an eye,
Evil for evil,
It goes around twice.
If we keep this up,
We'll be toothless and blind
Was it your fear that turned you to ice?
Was it your ego on the line?
There's no sign of mercy in your eyes
Your satisfaction's on the line.
This is your prayer of revenge,
This is your prayer of revenge
For the greedy,
The wicked,
Who boast of their sins
The ungrateful,
The liars,
The traitors and then …
It's a tooth for a tooth
And an eye for an eye,
Evil for evil, it goes around twice.
When you hear yourself say,
"Vengeance is mine."
Is it your pride that’s blocking your view?
Will you do unto others as they do unto you.
There's nothing noble in your designs,
Becoming the thing that you despise.
This is your prayer of revenge,
This is your prayer of revenge
For the transgressors,
The abusers,
The cowards and the thieves
The adulterers,
The racists,
Tthe neglectful. Don’t you see …
It's a tooth for a tooth
And an eye for an eye,
Evil for evil, it goes around twice.
To err is to be human,
To forgive is divine
Revenge is an open wound in your heart
And there can be no peace
Forgiveness is the gift that heals
Despite all the anger and hate that you feel
This is your prayer of forgiveness,
This is your prayer of forgiveness
That frees you from all
Of the slings and the arrows
Of outrageous fortune,
From the heartache and the pain.
Let it lead you to mercy and lead you to peace
Lead you to mercy and lead you to peace
Lead you to mercy and lead you to peace
