Revenge

I saw a man with a troubled mind

Digging two graves by the roadside,

He looked at me and I could see

That in fact he was me,

I threw his body into one of the graves

Blessed myself and said 'Jesus saves',

I stood staring down at the other pit

And knew I had to climb into it.

Chorus:

When you go to seek revenge,

Dig two graves,

'Cause it's you in the end 

Are the one who pays.
