Oh Lord, grant me the gift of retribution Let my determination stay the course Before the day of their absolution Oh Lord, help me before my final inhalation For my enemies I feel no remorse Oh Lord, grant me the gift of retribution Oh Lord, I ask not for salvation My adversaries I shall unhorse Before the day of their absolution Oh Lord, for my foes the final execution Eye for an eye, take their life by force Oh Lord, grant me the gift of retribution Oh Lord, protect me from retaliation Sacrifice and prayers my only recourse Before the day of their absolution Lost humanity, I have no reservation For the reprisal I shall endorse Oh Lord, grant me the gift of retribution Before the day of their absolution

Retribution, Before The Day Of Thier Absolution (villanelle)
Oh Lord, grant me the gift of retribution Let my determination stay the course Before the day of their absolution Oh Lord, help me before my final inhalation For my enemies I feel no remorse Oh Lord, grant me the gift of retribution Oh Lord, I ask not for salvation My adversaries I shall unhorse Before the day of their absolution Oh Lord, for my foes the final execution Eye for an eye, take their life by force Oh Lord, grant me the gift of retribution Oh Lord, protect me from retaliation Sacrifice and prayers my only recourse Before the day of their absolution Lost humanity, I have no reservation For the reprisal I shall endorse Oh Lord, grant me the gift of retribution Before the day of their absolution
