Revenge Is A Vulture
3 Inches Of Blood · Advance And Vanquish
to the death they will defend if an enemy comes forth
corruption rears its ugly, feeds a traitors mind
stab the back remains, to break the oath
this ancient bond of trust shattered by a fool
upon betrayal, all thoughts turn to...
revenge...revenge is a vulture
take him for everything hes got
revenge - revenge is a vulture
he wont know what he had until its lost
revenge
the stage is set, a battlefield, victory or death
valor will prevail against an insult to your name
an alliance failed, the oath remains no more
this allegiance based on trust has become war
the birds of prey shall feast on carrion
as their world cumbles
revenge - revenge is a vulture
deceivers flesh ripped off his wretched bones
revenge - revenge is a vulture
his head placed on a pike for all to see
a lesson learned for all of the usurpers to the throne
bridges burned, honour lost, forever damn his kind
forever damn his kind
victory will be ours, their treachery returned
a shallow grave awaits
forever damn his kind
a shallow grave awaits
