Trivium – Villainy Thrives lyrics

I can feel it aching within every bone inside me
I can feel it breaking, our retaliation released

I need to cause the evil to a suffering
Can't wait to choke the life out from your painful bodies

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 attention's undeserved
Meet the vessel of your reprisal
Retribution calls

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 defy a life deprived of innocence?
For too long you have gotten away with murder.
A fitting justice would be your painful execution.

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 attention's undeserved
Meet the vessel of your reprisal
Retribution calls

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

I want to ruin the rapist
But he's a criminal
Violating abuser
And a murderer

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!)
