REVENGE HAS A FACE

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

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 It’s got dust across its knuckles And your promise in 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 Remembers yours

Verse 2 You bought yourself a new name Built a house beyond the tracks Put a Bible by the bedside Like the Lord could watch your back You told your woman you were honest Told your children you were clean Funny what a man calls innocent When no one knows what he has seen I ain’t here for your money I ain’t here for your land I came to leave one simple truth You'll finally understand Every debt comes calling Every coward gets his day You can't outrun what you created

Chorus Revenge has a face And you’re staring in its eyes It survived your cheap betrayal It outlived every damn lie Revenge has a face Cut from hunger, smoke and rage You can pray like hell tonight But revenge has a face And it’s standing at your gate Relax. If I came here to kill you… You wouldn’t be hearing this part.

Bridge I want you waking at the floorboards Every time the old house groans Every knock to stop your breathing Every shadow near the door No, death would be too easy Mercy ain’t my trade I want you living long enough To meet the monster that you made

Breakdown Keep your gun Keep your prayer Revenge ain’t coming Revenge is standing there Revenge has a face And it wears what you put me through Every scar became a reason Every reason led to you Revenge has a name You carved it in me long ago You thought you buried me alive Look who’s above the ground Revenge has a— Revenge knows your— You made the man You fear today

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