Tuning: Drop D (D A D G B E)


Eyes open to splattered blood
Cold tile mocks me as I arise to find the knife is still in my back
Shifting thoughts now (slow with venom)
Take me as I stagger, is this all we were worth?
I've lost you for good (without regret)

Your once gentle words / are bleeding from my eyes
Screams of terror / now fill my every breath
I know / you'll rue the day
You ever met me / I'll lay you down to sleep
When sorrow will / bury the blade hilt deep
You know!

I would / have died for you /
Now I'm forced to / choose between a life of revenge or regret
As I / thirst for vengeance
My heart struggles / to come to grips why would you leave me to die
Turn, and walk away?

Turn and walk away (Turn and walk away)
My revenge is made so clear / midst cold tears left with the betrayed
I'll see (that you never) forget this
I will hunt you / down like a dog
Lies could never disguise / What I saw behind me / in you
