Revenge Attack? Attack Revenge.

 The fire of that cyclic revenge
Springing from the depths of my wound
Your vengeful dagger was deeply entrenched
Suppressing all voice, all sound

Look, I stand again
The wound is healed
But not the pain
Wait, my turn is to be unleashed

Dagger for dagger, blood for blood
You killed my child, I'll slaughter yours
We'll go in circles, round and round
Until our race is extinct from this earth

My turn: my turn is to turn around
And put my eyes on all the dead
Buried or burnt, missing or found
Yours and mine, the dead are dead

My turn: my turn is to reach where you fled
Seek you and tell you-
Your dagger tasted my blood
And took its souvenir to you

My turn: my turn is to leave my blood with you
Yours was a red revenge
Mine would be blue
Mightier than your dagger, my peace will entrench

Your turn was a revenge attack
Mine is to attack revenge
Your turn was to make it stretch
Mine is to let go and relax
(Join me some time).
