The Verdict Songtext
von Itself

Dehumanized by friendlessness
Isolated with a yearning hope of becoming invisible
A nauseous miasma of oppression
Sowed the seed of rage and darkened my psyche

I won′t endure
I won't accept
I won′t surrender
I won't consent anymore

Hard to believe lightning strikes twice in the same place
I've been deceived by the safe harbor promise
There′s only a boat sinking in a sea of whiskey
Where I see your reflection of abjection sharp as of my father

I am not your maid, I am not your servant, I am not your property
No more humiliation, no more provocation, no more manipulation

I can′t suppress anymore the despicable thoughts towards you
It fuels my fire the way you frown at me with your churlishness and belligerent attitude
Ah, the sharpest sword is a word spoken in wrath


I can't hold your hands with a clenched fist
I can′t hug you with a knife in your chest
I can't caress you with a scalped head

To prove that I exist I must kill you

Eye for an eye for all these years of abusiveness and assault
Bloody retribution to cease my wounds that never heal
I breathe adrenaline I crave blood to quench my thirst
A hammer to your head finally puts you to sleep

I must kill you once again even though you′re already dead

Ironically you were always hammered
But now you've got a real hammer deep down your skull
I fear a single hit is not enough and you must pay for everything you′ve done to me

Asphyxiate as you have suffocated me
Cornered, intimidated, and kidnapped my freedom
Stab you multiple times as you have pierced my heart
Decapitate, aching to flaunt my trophy
Dismember you into pieces and eat all your raw flesh
Ingest and digest you inside of me to turn you back into shit
Because that's what you are, that's what you are!

Aus so krummem Holze, als woraus der Mensch gemacht ist
Kann nichts ganz Gerades gezimmert werden
