lyrics

Lyrics:

15 years ago, a day before this day
a terrible choice was made
to sympathize or ravage
a moment of weakness
i heavily regret today

comissioned to detain with the option to kill

a gun to your head, i did lay
as i stared into your eyes
instead we chose to incarcerate
and let justice strike the gavel

now here i stumble, exhausted and broken
one of the few that remains
there is but one hope, if they received word
for it's her family too that you eliminated

a failed attempt to retreat provides the distraction that is needed
one with the woods, a figure of shadow; your crimes won't go unpunished
your relish in power is now your undoing
a coward's gullet now weeps
i knew she would come and it's clear from that look
that a war is about to begin

as you gasp for air; the darkness takes over
another maggot lies one with the earth
with a sweep of the leg and a thud to the cranium
your symbol of power now leaves you cold and thoughtless
what once was yours is now mine for the taking
this army of two has awaken

your days of vile doings had come to their end
a step closer to the falling of intimidation
the third of five chapters came to its close
while we was celebrated and paid quite handsomely

ambushed in the night
they murdered our family
burned down our village
somehow escaped their confinement

20 years strong, mercenaries of honor
prerogative; to assist the virtuous
taught by the best, to be the best
and always watch over each other

the odds are against us
but these minions are weak
there is no happy ending in war
all outcomes are bleak

painting the forest red with your lives
arms, legs, heads and torsos divide
a scatter of pulp as the bullets fly by
one after another, they quickly die

you've been brainwashed to fight for his cause
commandos of nothing ; expendable muscle
doing the biddings of your narcissistic director
deceitful promises you'll never survive to witness

your loathing and desire for reprisal
detonated us along this path
now we must finish what you have started
the blood that is upon me, is not mine, nor is it yours no longer
as it slowly drains from your essence
when you're pushed, killing is as easy as breathing

asphyxiated and unseen as the blasts scatter wildly
your failing mechanism of influence leaves you forlorn now
it's two against one, the turn of the tide
this barrage of retaliation drops you down to your knees

we've played this game before
but the outcome won't repeat
this deja vu is real,
15 years too late
as i look into your eyes,
a gun to your head i Lay
you knew we would come and it's clear from that look
this war has come to it's end
