I never ask myself
Why injustice befell me
Accepted of the fact
Try and live a life of my 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 too
Wrath provoked you cannot bear
Our lives are not your toys
Mercy, not a drop to spare and
You of destruction
Of hope's deconstruction kills (kills)
'Cause innocence lost when
The blood of innocents spills (spills)

I'm not a violent man
Again I wish to repeat
But 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 and
You of destruction
Of hope's deconstruction kills (kills)
'Cause innocence lost when
The blood of innocents spills (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 (choke)

There's no peace for the one who can't know peace
Your every breath, you only live 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
On your grave I'll stand
That fact keeps my heart beating
On your grave I'll stand
And when they lower your casket down
Bitter the sweet within my mouth
Ender of life
Corruptor of the pure
On your grave I will stand
On your grave I will stand
On your grave I will stand
On your grave...
On your grave I will stand
On your grave I will stand
On your grave...
