I wrote this song in 2006. Here's an old video of me playing it when it was new: Isto - Revenge

Revenge

Once upon a time there was a man who did me wrong
He robbed me of my honor, left me with an angry song
As I dusted off my person, I knew that somehow some way
I would track this fellow down and get him back someday

CHORUS:
Revenge, revenge, I'll get my revenge, I'll get my revenge on him
The next time that our paths cross, his fate will be grim
No matter what the time of day, no matter what the place
I'll get my revenge the next time that I see his face

I spent some time as a gardener, digging holes for plants
Raising flowers up from seeds while dirtying my pants
But all the while, while I was working in the flowerbed
A single thought was always efflorescing in my head CHORUS

I was a plumber for a while, working on the pipes
Cleaning out the septic tanks with sterile septic wipes
But as I lived my life busying clearing out the drain
A single thought was always there clogging up my brain CHORUS

I was a weatherman for years, the future to foresee
Looking at my crystal ball of meteorology
But as I lived my life like Tiresias the Blind
A single thought was always there clouding up my mind CHORUS

It was many years later that when finally met again
He looked the same after all that time as he had looked way back when
Our eyes met for a moment, there was nothing I could say
And I was thinking just one thing as he walked upon his way CHORUS
