One day I will meet my enemy
And catch up with that shadow I can't keep
The one that's always just beyond my reach
The one that's been hiding, hunting behind me
Ever since that cursed day
When we left Eden for another place
He's been trying to make my grave
I wake up in the night and hear him say
There will be no weapons you can raise
Nothing from an empire of arms that you could take
To make a single wound, that won't return to you
Nothing that will not be twice repaid
Then I came across my enemy
Standing in an old forgotten street
I knew him by the shadow at his feet
Dragging behind him, chained to the tyrant
Finally the time had come
To stand my ground and fight or turn and run
I dug my boots into the dirt
And to my enemy I sent these words
There will be no weapons you can raise
Nothing from an empire of arms that you could take
To make a single wound, that won't return to you
Nothing that will not be twice repaid
Nothing that will not be twice repaid
Now I stand, with a blade in my hand
To commit the fatal blow
Suddenly, it becomes clear to me
That this evil's in my soul
Revenge is in my blood, and I use it like a gun
To kill before I'm killed by someone else
And now I look the same as the enemy I hate
And I see he's just a shadow of myself
