Vengeance is Mine

“Vengeance is mine,” thus saith the cheated
“I’ll get you back,”
“Revenge is what is needed”

“Vengeance is mine,” thus saith the spurned
“You’ll get what’s coming,”
“Reprisal in return”

“Vengeance is mine,” thus saith the jealous
“What goes around comes around,”
“My fury is zealous”

“Vengeance is mine,” thus saith the politician
“I’ll make you pay,”
“Here comes retribution”

“Vengeance is mine,” thus saith the defeated
“You’ll see how it feels,”
“You’ll get mistreated”

“Vengeance is mine,” thus saith the tough
“I’ll settle the score,”
“Until I’ve wounded you enough”

“Vengeance is mine,” thus saith the leader
“We’ll devastate your nation,”
“On destruction you’ll teeter”

“Vengeance is mine,” thus saith the writer
“I’ll smear your reputation,”
“And your hope will expire”

“Vengeance is mine,” thus saith the ungodly
“Retaliation is a must,”
“My justice is upon thee”

“Vengeance is mine,” thus saith the religious
“An eye for an eye,”
“My resolve is your sentence”

“Vengeance is mine,” thus saith the wicked
“Punishment is deserved,”
“Pain must be inflicted”

“Vengeance is mine,” thus saith everyone
“No pardon or freedom,”
“No mercy for anyone”

“No! Vengeance is mine,” thus saith the Lord
“In me, you’ve been forgiven,”
“So don't hate but forgive forevermore”
