I came home to a house of still
The door was closed, the lights were chill
I called their names, I heard no sound
Just silence where the life was found

The dog lay still beside the stair
My wife’s hand cold, my children’s hair
A stranger’s work, a senseless greed
They took everything I’d ever need

I buried them beneath the oak
I wore the earth, I breathed the smoke
The preacher came and spoke of grace
I saw the pity in his face

“Forgive,” he said, “let go the pain”
But I was already forged in flame
There is no peace in letting be
When they took all the world from me
So I will find them, one by one
And give them back what they have done

The cops were slow, the trail was cold
But I had fire, I had a goal
I found their haunt, the bar downtown
Where bastards drank and wore the crown

I watched them come, I watched them leave
I held my breath and clenched my sleeve
Three men who laughed and didn’t care
They didn’t know I was there

I waited till they gathered close
A final round, a final boast
I walked inside, the door swung wide
There was nowhere left to hide

No prayer, no judge, no final word
There was just justice of the sword
I put the steel where it belonged
And watched them fall, and felt no wrong
I paid them back for what they'd done
I paid them more — and even some

The barman saw, his eyes were wide
He knew the men, he knew their pride
He never pulled the trigger, no
But he just watched the evil grow

I walked alone into the night
The street was long, the moon was white
I thought the weight would lift away
But it seems for good with me to stay

I don’t regret the blood I spilled
I don’t regret the lives I killed
They earned their end, they paid the price
But I’m still cold as Winter's ice

There’s no peace in letting be
No peace in what they did to me
No peace in everything I’ve done
Just Retribution — ain't no fun

I walk the empty road alone
No home to go, no heart of stone
The loving faces that  I cared
And Justice I became aware ..

…retribution.
