[Verse 1]
I never [A5]ask myself why injustice befell me
Accepted of the fact,
Try and live a life of peace
I'm not a violent man,
But to those who'd [Eb5]threaten [A5]me
My [A]enemy, [A5]for [C5]my fa[A]m[Bb5]
[A5]ily [C5]I'll [Bb5]show t[C5]hee[A5][A]
[C5]Death I [Cm]will [C5]fight you [A5]to
Wrath [Cm]provoked you

[Verse 4]
I'm not [A5]a violent man,
again I wish to repeat
But for every human that takes [A]away
A [A5]child's innocence
Whether it by molest,
[A]Or by all [A5]wars [A]pointlessness
[A5]Killer of [C5]life[A5]
[Bb5]Corruptor of [A5]all that is p[C5]ure[A5]
[C5]I wa[Cm]nt your nose to br[A5]eak
[Eb5]Shattered [C5]unde[Cm]r clen[C5]ched fist[A5][Eb]
[Eb5]Smash [Cm]face to con[C5]crete[A5]
Taste [C5]the [Eb5]asphal[Bb5]t's gentle kiss[C#]

[Verse 5]
[F5]You of destruction
Of [C5]hope's deconstruction
[A5]Kills

[Verse 6]
[F5]Innocence is lost when
The [G5]blood [G]of inno[G5]cent [G]s[C5]
[G5]Spills

To those that [A]monger war
[Bb5]Claiming that [G]this is to even [A]scores[Eb5]
[A][Eb5][A][C5][A5][A][Eb5][A][Bb5]

[Verse 10]
[Dm]
[A5]This mantra [Dm]I in[A]voke
[A5]No l[Bb5]onger this fea[G]r will

There's no [A]peace for the one who can't know peace

[Verse 11]
[A]
[Eb5]
[A]Your every breath it only
lives to [Eb5]take[A]
[F5]Someday the earth you will descend
Not a regret I'll harbor in
Tearless my eyes
[C5]Flower[Eb5] less my ha[A]nds

[Verse 12]
[Bb5]And that day wh[A]en
your moment is fleeting
[Bb5]That t[A]hought keeps my heart
[Eb5]beatin[C#5]g[F5]
When they lower your casket down
Bitter the sweet within my mouth
Ender of life
Cor[Eb5]ruptor of all that's [A]pure

On your [Eb]grave

[Verse 13]
[A]
I will [Eb]stand
