In The Presence Of My Enemies Lyrics
I never ask myself why injustice befell me
Accepted of the fact,
Try and live a life of peace
I'm not a violent man,
But to those who'd threaten me
My enemy, for my family I'll show thee
Death I will fight you to
Wrath provoked you cannot bear
Our lives are not your toys
Mercy, not a drop to spareYou of destruction
Of hope's deconstruction
KillsInnocence is lost when
The blood of innocents
SpillsI'm not a violent man, again I wish to repeat
But for every human that takes away
A child's innocence
Whether it by molest,
Or by all wars pointlessness
Killer of life
Corruptor of all that is pure
I want your nose to break
Shattered under clenched fist
Smash face to concrete
Taste the asphalt's gentle kissYou of destruction
Of hope's deconstruction
KillsInnocence is lost when
The blood of innocents
SpillsTo those that are to blame
Destroyers of every dreamBreaking of hatred's wings
Mars' phoenix begins fadingTo those that monger war
Claiming that this is to even scoresThis mantra I invoke
No longer this fear will
I chokeThere's no peace for the one who can't know peace
Your every breath it only lives to take
Someday the earth you will descend
Not a regret I'll harbor in
Tearless my eyes
Flowerless my handsAnd that day when your moment is fleeting
That thought keeps my heart beating
When they lower your casket down
Bitter the sweet within my mouth
Ender of life
Corruptor of all that's pureOn your grave
I will stand
