The Vengeful One Lyrics
Disturbed
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
He is assuming the chaos, taking in the lack of raw humanity
It's as if the entire world's fallen in love with their insanity
Hear the innocent voices scream
As their tormentors laugh through all of it
No forgiveness from all I've seen
The degradation I cannot forget
[Pre-Chorus]
So sleep soundly in your beds tonight
For judgement falls upon you at first light
[Chorus]
I'm the hand of God
I'm the dark messiah
I'm the vengeful one
(Look inside and see what you're becoming)
In the blackest moment of a dying world
What have you become
(Look inside and see what you're becoming)
[Verse 2]
As the violence surges
And the teeming masses have been terrorized
The human predators all gone mad
Are reaping profits born from their demise
The rabid media plays their roles
Stoking the flames of war to no surprise
Only too eager to sell their souls
For the apocalypse must be televised
[Chorus]
So sleep soundly in your beds tonight
Judgement falls upon you at first light
[Chorus]
I'm the hand of the God
I'm the dark messiah
I'm the vengeful one
(Look inside and see what you're becoming)
In the blackest moment of a dying world
What have you become
(Look inside and see what you're becoming)
[Bridge]
When you die
You'll know why
For you cannot be saved
With all the world enslaved
When you die
You'll know why
You'll die
You'll know why
For you cannot be saved
This world is too depraved
When you die
You'll know why
[Chorus]
I'm the hand of God
I'm the dark messiah
I'm the vengeful one
(Look inside and see what you're becoming)
In the blackest moment of a dying world
What have you become
(Look inside and see what you're becoming)
I'm the hand of God
I'm the dark messiah
I'm the vengeful one
(Look inside and see what you're becoming)
In the blackest moment of a dying world
What have you become
(Look inside and see what you're becoming)
Look inside and see what you're becoming

Look inside and see what you're becoming
