I WILL AVENGE YOU  

Music & lyrics by Becca Stevens   
   

Darkness is a hungry dog that follows me  

Eternally howling, begging for a bone  

Apathy’s the only remedy  

'Cause misery craves company 

And I’d rather be alone 

 

You were a light in the alley  

But you were a little unlucky  

Doin’ the best that you could do  

And you had the nerve to save me 

‘Cause you saw a little good in me  

So now I will avenge you…  

 

Humanity is a blind girl in the alley  

And the bastard who took everything 

Just because he could  

Decency is the thug who saved a stranger  

Even in the face of danger  

Chose to do some good 

 

You were the light in the alley 

You came for me when I couldn’t see   

Fighting in the dark  

The best way that I knew  

And you had the nerve to save me  

'Cause you saw a little good in me  

So now I will avenge you…  

 

When they took your life  

It pulled the fight right out me  

Who knew I had it in me  

To care about anything at all?  

An eye for an eye, fighting tooth and nail  

Trust nobody 

 

Justice is a thirsty ghost devouring me 

Satisfied only by the righting of what went wrong  

Sympathy does nothin’ for me  

Cause it wont get you back to me 

But I’m gonna bring you home  

 

You are a light in the alley 

Unveiling my unraveling  

Alone in the dark  

Afraid of what I might do… 

You had the nerve to save me  

'Cause you saw a little good in me  

So now I will avenge you
