Verse 1
       
I’m the failure 
              
I’m everyone’s fool 
                                  
And I’m losing my cool at the end
         
I’m the loser 
              
My numbers come up 
                                    
I’ve been hung up with thoughts of revenge 
                  
Revenge, revenge

Chorus 1
            
   Oh whoa oh

Verse 2
                                   
I watched you from my terminal view
                                  
As you struggled to rise to your end
                                 
I laughed hard at the insults we through
                                         
As the weight of the world found revenge
           
Revenge, revenge

Chorus 2
          
Oh whoa oh
          
Oh whoa oh

Channel 1
                       
The world hung upside down
              
And I drew first blood
         
I drew first blood
              
With my hate for a crown
         
I drew first blood
         
I drew first blood
  
Revenge 

Verse 3
                  
I watched heaven dying today
                             
And I’m going to die here tonight
                                
I’m the villain I deserve to be dead
                                      
I’ve been hung up for wrecking my life
           
Revenge, revenge

Chorus 2

Bridge
                                        
So I stopped for a moment to look at the Son
         
Dying today
                               
That’s when the irony hit me
                                    
That this was revenge
                                                                             
That love had descended and stolen our pain away

Channel 2
                      
We consumed heaven’s Son
              
And I drew first blood
         
I drew first blood
         
My hate was undone
         
I drew first blood
         
I drew first blood
  
Revenge 

Verse 4
        
Here’s a story
                      
How a thief had been robbed
                              
How a murder had stolen my rage
           
Think of me Lord
                    
I’m a few breaths away
                                      
As my lungs finally rip from the cage
                   
Revenge, revenge

Outro
            
   Oh whoa oh
