[Verse 1]

Dm                         C
I lie in this darkness with tears in my eyes
Am                           Bb      C
I weep in silence, but in my heart I scream
Dm                         C
The path that I must take, it breaks my heart
Am                       Bb C      Dm Am F G Dm Am F G
I fear I'll never see my love again

[Verse 2]

Dm                      Am                      F
I saw the hunger in his eyes as he dragged her away
                            G
The beast that had betrayed me. Oh how I hate him
Dm                 Am                         F
Seconds lasted for ages. Did I just hear her scream?
                          G                           Bb Dm G Bb Dm C
He'll know the meaning of pain when I am done with him

[Verse 3]
G        Bb           Dm
Torn by grief, I was left for dead
Bb                 Dm
And for a moment I was
                                   Am
I followed their steps through the wilderness
F                       G
Determined to take back what is mine
Dm                   Am        F
I wandered the earth driven by grief
G                                 Dm Am F G Dm Am F G Am Em F C G Am F Em F C G Am
Until I finally tracked them down

[Verse 4]
                   Em                   F
I was shocked when I saw a glimpse of her bruised face;
C       G    Am          Em  F      C         G
All the love she had for me, he had beaten it out
Am               Em                F    C     G    Am
I could feel the fire of vengeance burn in my heart
               Em           F                C        G      Dm Bb F Am Dm Bb F Am
When I saw her lips kissing his, I could not restrain myself

[Verse 5]

Dm
I only saw the fear in his eyes as I tightened my grip
Bb                           F               Am
He thought he had killed me, but now I stood before him
Dm
I drew my blade to cut this bastard down
Bb                            F        Am   Dm Bb F Am Dm Bb F Am Dm Bb F Am Dm Bb F Am
But my arm was held back by a familiar hand

[Verse 6]

Dm
Instead of killing him, I cut off his thumbs
Bb                                Am         Dm
No longer will he wield the sword against my sons
                               Am
I would have killed him if she didn't believe his lies
Bb                                      F      A   Dm A F G Dm A F G
But he will live down in shame ‘til the day he dies

[Verse 7]

Dm                     Am
And now I had my first vengeance
  F                G
I must hold of the storm
         Dm            Am
Before I find myself a way
   F            G        Dm
To win back her love for me
