Dm C Am Bb C Dm C Am Bb C
[Verse 1]
Dm C
I lie in this darkness with tears in my eyes
Am Bb C
I weep in silence, but in my heart I scream
Dm C
The path that I must take, it breaks my heart
Am Bb C Dm Am F G Dm Am F G
I fear I'll never see my love again
[Verse 2]
Dm Am F
I saw the hunger in his eyes as he dragged her away
G
The beast that had betrayed me. Oh how I hate him
Dm Am F
Seconds lasted for ages. Did I just hear her scream?
G Bb Dm G Bb Dm C
He'll know the meaning of pain when I am done with him
[Verse 3]
G Bb Dm
Torn by grief, I was left for dead
Bb Dm
And for a moment I was
Am
I followed their steps through the wilderness
F G
Determined to take back what is mine
Dm Am F
I wandered the earth driven by grief
G Dm Am F G Dm Am F G Am Em F C G Am F Em F C G Am
Until I finally tracked them down
[Verse 4]
Em F
I was shocked when I saw a glimpse of her bruised face;
C G Am Em F C G
All the love she had for me, he had beaten it out
Am Em F C G Am
I could feel the fire of vengeance burn in my heart
Em F C G Dm Bb F Am Dm Bb F Am
When I saw her lips kissing his, I could not restrain myself
[Verse 5]
Dm
I only saw the fear in his eyes as I tightened my grip
Bb F Am
He thought he had killed me, but now I stood before him
Dm
I drew my blade to cut this bastard down
Bb F Am Dm Bb F Am Dm Bb F Am Dm Bb F Am Dm Bb F Am
But my arm was held back by a familiar hand
[Verse 6]
Dm
Instead of killing him, I cut off his thumbs
Bb Am Dm
No longer will he wield the sword against my sons
Am
I would have killed him if she didn't believe his lies
Bb F A Dm A F G Dm A F G
But he will live down in shame ‘til the day he dies
[Verse 7]
Dm Am
And now I had my first vengeance
F G
I must hold of the storm
Dm Am
Before I find myself a way
F G Dm
To win back her love for me
