Intro - 2x
Verse 1
I’m the failure
I’m everyone’s fool
And I’m losing my cool at the end
I’m the loser
My numbers come up
I’ve been hung up with thoughts of revenge
Revenge, revenge
Chorus 1
Oh whoa oh
Verse 2
I watched you from my terminal view
As you struggled to rise to your end
I laughed hard at the insults we through
As the weight of the world found revenge
Revenge, revenge
Chorus 2
Oh whoa oh
Oh whoa oh
Channel 1
The world hung upside down
And I drew first blood
I drew first blood
With my hate for a crown
I drew first blood
I drew first blood
Revenge
Verse 3
I watched heaven dying today
And I’m going to die here tonight
I’m the villain I deserve to be dead
I’ve been hung up for wrecking my life
Revenge, revenge
Chorus 2
Bridge
So I stopped for a moment to look at the Son
Dying today
That’s when the irony hit me
That this was revenge
That love had descended and stolen our pain away
Channel 2
We consumed heaven’s Son
And I drew first blood
I drew first blood
My hate was undone
I drew first blood
I drew first blood
Revenge
Verse 4
Here’s a story
How a thief had been robbed
How a murder had stolen my rage
Think of me Lord
I’m a few breaths away
As my lungs finally rip from the cage
Revenge, revenge
Outro
Oh whoa oh
