    Dm               G                            Dm 
My story starts the day they said "she can't be found" 
 
    Dm                    G                                Dm 
the news so dark, heart stopped, I stood silent without a sound 
 
Dm         Dm              Dm                    Eb                    Dm 
It's over, she's finished, mother lies with your father and sister too 
 
              Dm             Dm               Eb 
Cold-blooded, they suffered, shot down by the outlaws after you 
 
Dm     C           Dm 
Sorrow swallows my screams 
 
 
Dm                               G 
Strength of the world - is on my shoulders 
 
C                                F  A 
Strength of the world - is on my side 
 
Dm                                   G 
Strength of the world - the one true beholder 
 
C                                  F  A 
Ice in my veins - for those who've died 
 
 
     Dm      C            Bb          Gm    F 
I've seen my family fade away, you've taken my whole life 
 
        C               Bb 
There's nothing left to say 
 
 
Dm G Bb C 
 
 Dm                    G                        Dm 
Avenge the dead killed all who crossed me in my path 
 
Dm          G                       Dm 
Suicidal, I never planned on coming back 
 
Dm         Dm         Dm         Eb               Dm 
I want it, I need it, revenge is dripping from my teeth 
 
Dm               Dm              Dm        Eb                Dm 
Need nothin', to feel power, and bring the killers to their knees 
 
Dm                           G 
Nothin' ta lose vengeance ta gain (you know I'll never be the same) 
 
Dm                             G 
So taste my breath I'm close behind you (so desperate on your final day) 
 
Dm     C        Dm 
Sorrow swallows my screams 
 
 
Dm                               G 
Strength of the world - is on my shoulders 
 
C                                F   A 
Strength of the world - is on my side 
 
Dm                                     G 
Strength of the world - the one true beholder 
 
C                                  F   A 
Ice in my veins - for those who've died 
 
 
     Dm      C            Bb          Gm    F 
I've seen my family fade away, you've taken my whole life

Sitting in silence with heaven above me I prayed every night by their graves 
 
Dm                           C 
While I search for closure I feel it no longer 
 
  F                Bb   A 
I can't turn my cheek away 
 
Dm        G              Dm          G 
I stand before you; I'll sin when I have to  
 
    Bb    C          Dm        Bb       C        Dm 
But now I leave your side, to avenge my family's pride 
 
             C             Bb         Gm    F 
I've seen my family fade away, you've taken my whole life 
 
        C               Bb 
There's nothing left to say

So far forever now alone, a greater punishment on me has been imposed 
 
   Dm    C                 Bb         Gm      F            C          Bb 
A killer falling from the light, I'll miss my family, I'll never be alright
