Villainy Thrives Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I can feel it aching within
Every bone inside me
I can feel it breaking out
Retaliation: released
I need to cause
The evildoers' suffering
Can't wait to choke the life
Out from your baneful bodies
[Pre-Chorus]
If only I could afflict you
Hurt you in the same way that you hurt
I just want to exact reprisal
Retribution calls
The only way I depict you
Is that your redemption's undeserved
Meet the vessel of your reprisal
Retribution calls
[Chorus]
It's not that I take life for granted
It's only that the good won't make it
Innocence dies
While villainy thrives
I can feel it aching within
Every bone inside me
I can feel it breaking out
Retaliation: released
I need to cause
The evildoers' suffering
Can't wait to choke the life
Out from your baneful bodies
[Pre-Chorus]
If only I could afflict you
Hurt you in the same way that you hurt
I just want to exact reprisal
Retribution calls
The only way I depict you
Is that your redemption's undeserved
Meet the vessel of your reprisal
Retribution calls
[Chorus]
It's not that I take life for granted
It's only that the good won't make it
Innocence dies
While villainy thrives
[Verse 2]
How can you harm a living thing
Thinking that it's your right?
How can you defile a life
Deprive it of innocence?
For too long, you have gotten
Away with murder
A fitting justice would be
Your painful execution
[Pre-Chorus]
If only I could afflict you
Hurt you in the same way that you hurt
I just want to exact reprisal
Retribution calls
The only way I depict you
Is that your redemption's undeserved
Meet the vessel of your reprisal
Retribution calls
[Chorus]
It's not that I take life for granted
It's only that the good won't make it
Innocence dies
While villainy thrives
How can you harm a living thing
Thinking that it's your right?
How can you defile a life
Deprive it of innocence?
For too long, you have gotten
Away with murder
A fitting justice would be
Your painful execution
[Pre-Chorus]
If only I could afflict you
Hurt you in the same way that you hurt
I just want to exact reprisal
Retribution calls
The only way I depict you
Is that your redemption's undeserved
Meet the vessel of your reprisal
Retribution calls
[Chorus]
It's not that I take life for granted
It's only that the good won't make it
Innocence dies
While villainy thrives
It's not that I take life for granted
It's only that the good won't make it
Innocence dies
While villainy thrives
[Bridge]
I want to ruin the rapist
Punish the criminal
Violate the abuser
End the murderer
I want to ruin the rapist
Punish the criminal
Violate the abuser
End the murderer
[Solo: Beaulieu | Solo: Heafy]
[Chorus]
It's not that I take life for granted
It's only that the good won't make it
Innocence dies
While villainy thrives (Villainy thrives!)
It's not that I take life for granted
It's only that the good won't make it
Innocence dies
While villainy thrives (Villainy thrives!)
It's only that the good won't make it
Innocence dies
While villainy thrives
[Bridge]
I want to ruin the rapist
Punish the criminal
Violate the abuser
End the murderer
I want to ruin the rapist
Punish the criminal
Violate the abuser
End the murderer
[Solo: Beaulieu | Solo: Heafy]
[Chorus]
It's not that I take life for granted
It's only that the good won't make it
Innocence dies
While villainy thrives (Villainy thrives!)
It's not that I take life for granted
It's only that the good won't make it
Innocence dies
While villainy thrives (Villainy thrives!)
