You Hurt Me

And Now, You Pay.

You Hurt Me

"You hurt me!

You didn't think I'd let you get away with it,

Did you?

You took my life and watched the blood

drain from me.

Your scum!

Wretched vermin, like rats

scurrying in the sewer.

I want to cut your throat and rip out

your heart; just like you did to me.

I still feel the steel blade, you know;

Tearing through my flesh like meat.

I will rip your guts open.

You disgusting, vile people!

Worthless!

Poison to the minds of humankind.

Your time will come;

And when it does, I will fill the entire planet

with your screams and cries

You must pay for what you did to me.

Noone will save you;

You WILL pay for what you did to me

with your LIFE and your Blood!"
