Machine Head - In The Presence Of My Enemies Lyrics
I never ask myself why injustice befell meAccepted of the fact, try and live a life of peaceI'm not a violent man, but to those who'd threaten meMy enemy, for my family I'll show theeDeath I will fight you toWrath provoked you cannot bearOur lives are not your toysMercy, not a drop to spareYou of destructionOf hope's deconstructionKillsInnocence is lost whenThe blood of innocentsSpillsI'm not a violent man, again I wish to repeatBut for every human that takes away a child's innocenceWhether it by molest, or by all wars pointlessnessKiller of lifeCorruptor of all that is pureI want your nose to breakShattered under clenched fistSmash face to concreteTaste the asphalt's gentle kissYou of destructionOf hope's deconstructionKillsInnocence is lost whenThe blood of innocentsSpillsTo those that are to blameDestroyers of every dreamBreaking of hatred's wingsMars' phoenix begins fadingTo those that monger warClaiming that this is to even scoresThis mantra I invokeNo longer this fear willI chokeThere's no peace for the one who can't know peaceYour every breath it only lives to takeSomeday the earth you will descendNot a regret I'll harbor inTearless my eyesFlowerless my handsAnd that day when your moment is fleetingThat thought keeps my heart beatingWhen they lower your casket downBitter the sweet within my mouthEnder of lifeCorruptor of all that's pureOn Your GraveI Will Stand
