I never ask myself why injustice befell me 
Accepted of the fact, 
Try and live a life of peace 
I'm not a violent man, 
But to those who'd threaten me 
My enemy, for my family I'll show thee 
Death I will fight you to 
Wrath provoked you cannot bear 
Our lives are not your toys 
Mercy, not a drop to spare 

You of destruction 
Of hope's deconstruction 
Kills 

Innocence is lost when 
The blood of innocents 
Spills 

I'm not a violent man, again I wish to repeat 
But for every human that takes away 
A child's innocence 
Whether it by molest, 
Or by all wars pointlessness 
Killer of life 
Corruptor of all that is pure 
I want your nose to break 
Shattered under clenched fist 
Smash face to concrete 
Taste the asphalt's gentle kiss 

You of destruction 
Of hope's deconstruction 
Kills 

Innocence is lost when 
The blood of innocents 
Spills 

To those that are to blame 
Destroyers of every dream 

Breaking of hatred's wings 
Mars' phoenix begins fading 

To those that monger war 
Claiming that this is to even scores 

This mantra I invoke 
No longer this fear will 
I choke 

There's no peace for the one who can't know peace 
Your every breath it only lives to take 
Someday the earth you will descend 
Not a regret I'll harbor in 
Tearless my eyes 
Flowerless my hands 

And that day when your moment is fleeting 
That thought keeps my heart beating 
When they lower your casket down 
Bitter the sweet within my mouth 
Ender of life 
Corruptor of all that's pure 

On your grave 
I will stand
