Villainy thrives lyrics - Trivium song

I can feel it aching within every bone inside me
I can feel it breaking, our retaliation released
I need to cause the evil doer suffering
Can't wait to choke the life out from your baneful bodies

If only I could afflict you
Hurt you in the same way that you hurt
I just want to exact reprisal
Retribution calls

The only way I depict you
Is that your redemption's undeserved
Meet the vessel of your reprisal
Retribution calls

It's not that I take life for granted
It's only that the good won't make it
Innocence dies while Villainy Thrives

How can you harm a living thing thinking that it's your right
How can you defile a life
Deprive it of innocence?
For too long you have gotten away with murder
A fitting justice would be your painful execution

If only I could afflict you
Hurt you in the same way that you hurt
I just want to exact reprisal
Retribution calls

The only way I depict you
Is that your redemption's undeserved
Meet the vessel of your reprisal
Retribution calls

[2x]
It's not that I take life for granted
It's only that the good won't make it
Innocence dies while Villainy Thrives

[2x]
I want to ruin the rapist
Punish the criminal
Violate the abuser
End the murderer

[Solo: CKB, MKH]

It's not that I take life for granted
It's only that the good won't make it
Innocence dies while Villainy Thrives

It's not that I take life for granted
It's only that the good won't make it
Innocence dies while Villainy Thrives
