In The Presence Of My Enemies Lyrics - Through The Ashes Of Empires - Machine Head

I never ask myself why injustice befell me 

Accepted of the fact, try and live a life of peace 

I'm not a violent man, but to those who'd threaten me 

My enemy, for my family I'll show thee 

Death I will fight you to 

Wrath provoked you cannot bear 

Our lives are not your toys 

Mercy, not a drop to spare 

You of destruction 

Of hope's deconstruction 

Kills 

Innocence is lost when 

The blood of innocents 

Spills

I'm not a violent man, again I wish to repeat 

But for every human that takes away a child's innocence 

Whether it by molest, or by all wars pointlessness 

Killer of life 

Corruptor of all that is pure 

I want your nose to break 

Shattered under clenched fist 

Smash face to concrete 

Taste the asphalt's gentle kiss 

You of destruction 

Of hope's deconstruction 

Kills 

Innocence is lost when 

The blood of innocents 

Spills 

To those that are to blame 

Destroyers of every dream 

Breaking of hatred's wings 

Mars' phoenix begins fading 

To those that monger war 

Claiming that this is to even scores 

This mantra I invoke 

No longer this fear will 

I choke 

There's no peace for the one who can't know peace 

Your every breath it only lives to take 

Someday the earth you will descend 

Not a regret I'll harbor in 

Tearless my eyes 

Flowerless my hands 

And that day when your moment is fleeting 

That thought keeps my heart beating 

When they lower your casket down 

Bitter the sweet within my mouth 

Ender of life 

Corruptor of all that's pure 

On Your Grave 

I Will Stand
