I am what I create Believing in my fate Integrity is my name All that I am doing Can never be ruined My song remains insane Eye for an eye Eye for an eye Eye for an eye Eye for an eye for an eye for an eye F*ck Can't you watch my back Can't you let my heart Believe what they have fired ? To reunite the tribe To find a better way Fucking envy changes everything Eye for an eye Eye for an eye Eye for an eye Eye for an eye for an eye for an eye That's right! (right) I hate to borrow You don't understand Pain, hate, pain To born again Arise again I believe it's the only way Eye for an eye Eye for an eye Eye for an eye Eye for an eye for an eye for an eye
