Revenge by Jon Foreman – The Theif on the Cross

Jump to Comments

I’m the failure
I’m everyone’s fool
And I’m losing my cool at the end

I’m the loser
My number’s come up
I’ve been hung up with thoughts of
Revenge,
Revenge,
Revenge

I watched you
From my terminal view
As you struggled to rise to your end

I laughed hard
At the insults we threw
As the weight of the world found
Revenge

The world hung upside down
I drew first blood
I drew first blood
With my hate for a crown
I drew first blood
I drew first blood
Revenge

I watched heaven
Dying today
And I’m gonna die here tonight

I’m a villain
I deserve to be dead
I’ve been hung up for
Wreckin’ my life
Revenge

So I stopped for a moment
To look at the sun
Dying a day

That’s when the irony hit me
That this was revenge
Love had descended
And stolen our pain
Away

We consumed heaven’s Son
I drew first blood
I drew first blood
My hate was undone
I drew first blood
I drew first blood
Revenge

Here’s a story
How a thief had been robbed
How a murder had stolen my rage

Think of me, Lord
I’m a few breaths away
As my lungs finally rip from the
Cage…
Revenge
