"Villainy Thrives" lyrics - TRIVIUM

I can feel it aching within
Every bone inside me
I can feel it breaking out
Retaliation: released
I need to cause
The evildoers' suffering
Can't wait to choke the life
Out from your baneful bodies

[Pre-Chorus:]
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

[Chorus:]
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

[Pre-Chorus:]
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

[Chorus:]
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

[Bridge:]
I want to ruin the rapist
Punish the criminal
Violate the abuser
End the murderer

I want to ruin the rapist
Punish the criminal
Violate the abuser
End the murderer

[Solo: Beaulieu / Solo: Heafy]

[Chorus:]
It's not that I take life
For granted
It's only that the good won't
Make it
Innocence dies
While villainy thrives (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 (Villainy thrives!)
