You betrayed me, stabbed me in the back and left me to die.
If you have not heard the saying, an eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth.
You will know its meaning all too soon.
My vengeance will be complete at the edge of a dagger.
Wars have been started and ended at the tips of swords.
This won't be a war that I end.
It will be your life.
I slip the knife from the scabbard.
Sitting there, you have no idea what is about to happen.
The knife raised above my head ready to strike.
As I bring the shank down, I freeze.
If I take your life I will only be as bad as you.
The blade slides back into the sheath and I walk away...
With forgiveness in my heart.
