My story starts the day they said "she can't be found"
|
The news so dark, our hearts stopped, stood silent without a sound
|
It's over, she's finished, mother lies with your father & sister too
|
Cold-blooded, they suffered, shot down by the outlaws after you
|
Sorrow swallows my screams.
|
|
Strength Of The World! - is on my shoulders.
|
Strength Of The World! - is on my side.
|
Strength Of The World! - the one true beholder.
|
Ice in my veins! - for those who died.
|
|
I've seen my family fade away, you've taken my whole life.
|
There's nothin' left to say.
|
|
Avenged the dead killed all who cross me in my path
|
Suicidal, I never planned on comin' back
|
I want it, I need it, revenge is drippin' from my teeth
|
Need nothin' to feel power & bring the killers to their knees
|
Nothin' to lose vengeance to gain, you know I'll never be the same
|
So taste my breath I'm close behind you, so desperate on your final day
|
Sorrow swallows my screams.
|
|
Strength Of The World! - is on my shoulders.
|
Strength Of The World! - is on my side.
|
Strength Of The World! - the one true beholder.
|
Ice in my veins! - for those who've died.
|
|
I've seen my family fade away, you've taken my whole life.
|
There's nothin' left to say.
|
|
Sittin' in silence with Heaven above me I prayed every night by their graves
|
While I search for closure I feel it no longer
|
I can't turn my cheek away
|
I'll stand before you, I'll sin when I have to
|
But now I leave your side, to avenge my family's pride.
|
|
I've seen my family fade away, you've taken my whole life.
|
There's nothin' left to say.
|
|
Strength Of The World! - is on my shoulders.
|
Strength Of The World! - is on my side.
|
Strength Of The World! - the one true beholder.
|
Ice in my veins! - for those who died.
|
|
So far forever now alone, a greater punishment on me has been imposed
|
A killer fallin' from the light, I'll miss my family, I'll never be alright.
