Sweet Revenge Lyrics - Singles - Hades

See his memory fade 

Wife and daughter raped and killed one night 

Life's rewards erased 

Only one thing to look forward to 

He wants his sweet revenge 

Stalking lifeless streets 

Target waiting for him underneath the light 

Hands that shake with rage 

Clutching ornamented bronze and steel 

Nerves that twitch with fear 

Like a soldier waiting for attack 

His sweet revenge approaches 

Springing into flight 

Victims' scream are nothing that his heart can feel 

His essence is freed 

As the blade cuts from behind 

Slicing the temple where the tender flesh 

Joins one's only mind 

Fighting with a desperate last breath 

His life endures punishment a second time 

His vision is blurred 

As the life drops from his eyes 

Shining the weapon as his entrails fall 

Splattering upon the floor 

Ripping up the pieces of nerves that keep his limbs from dying 

Twitching as if still alive 

Letting the body ease from his arms 

Slowly slumping to the floor 

Smearing all the blood along his fingertips 

And watching where the deadman and his body lie 

Stands atop his kill 

Gloating on his recent victory 

Like a lion's pride 

Guarding over it triumphantly 

The streets are filled with laughter 

Sweet revenge is what he's after 

Now he walks alone, into darkness that will only ease the pain
