REVENGE HAS A FACE (Alt 2)

Intro You kept looking over your shoulder. Wrong direction.

Verse 1 You left me bleeding in the dust Called it done and rode away Told the whole damn county I was buried where I lay You drank to my disappearance Wore my silence like a crown But some men don’t stay forgotten Some graves don’t hold them down I learned patience from the buzzards Learned forgiveness from the flame Spent one long year losing mercy And remembering your name

Pre-Chorus You thought revenge was just a shadow Something faceless in the black But shadows grow a pair of boots And sometimes they come back

Chorus Revenge has a face And you’re looking at it now Dust across its knuckles Your lie inside its mouth Revenge has a face No mask, no shame, no saving grace You can run like hell tonight— But revenge has a face And it remembers yours Remembers yours

Verse 2 You bought yourself a cleaner name Built a house beyond the tracks Kept a Bible by the bedside Like the Lord could watch your back Told your woman you were honest Told your children you were clean Funny how a man looks righteous When no witness stays to speak Relax. If I came here to kill you… You wouldn’t be hearing this part.

Bridge I want every floorboard talking Every window wearing eyes Every knock to stop your breathing Every shadow your disguise Death would let you off too easy Mercy ain’t the game I play I want you living long enough To meet the thing you made Revenge has a face And it wears what you put me through Every scar became a road Every road came back to you Revenge has a face No halo and no hiding place You thought you buried me alive— Now say it to my face Revenge has a name You carved it in me long ago Now I’m standing close enough To make damn sure you know REVENGE HAS A— FACE! AND IT KNOWS YOUR— NAME!

Outro Keep looking over your shoulder. That’s where I want you.
