lyrics

I feel my world crumble down in my shivering hands
Realizing every day is one step closer to the end
Before it’s too late I settle this old score
I just can’t take it anymore

There is no return, I wanted to pay any price
Now I ask myself: Will this killing erase the pain
Or make it worse?
Before it’s too late I settle this old score
I just can’t take it anymore

I travel the seas of doom, leaving my past behind
Revenge remains the only relief, this is my odyssey to…

…death…

Life has granted me this one last chance to shoot it down
Life has granted me this one last chance to shoot it down, my worst enemy

BÄM!

I travel the seas of doom, leaving my past behind
Revenge remains the only relief, this is my odyssey to…
I travel the seas of doom, leaving my past behind
Revenge remains the only relief, this is my odyssey to…
