Lyrics
?Everyone's Grudge (The Tonberry Song)?
Capers Simmons
VERSE I
Everyone's grudge gets settled tonight.
Justice comes at the end of a knife.
Don't get mad, get even;
Everyone's grudge gets gone.
Bate your breath and hold it tight
'Cause everyone's grudge gets settled tonight
Up come the sun, gonna be all right
But tonight
CHORUS I
Brothers and Sisters, light your lanterns
Brothers and Sisters, sharpen your knives
Brothers and Sisters, hearken your captains
Brothers and Sisters, fight for your lives
VERSE II
Call upon the souls that the Strangers killed,
Call upon the souls in the cemetery hill.
Don't get mad, get even;
Everyone's grudge gets gone.
Bait your traps and save your light;
Everyone's grudge gets settled tonight.
They may run some, but they know they can't hide
From everyone's grudge tonight.
~ CHORUS I ~
VERSE III
Don't get hid, for we know how to find
Don't get scared, for we know how to die
Don't get mad, get even
Red blood runs tonight
Call upon Karma, Justice and Fate
Call upon Chaos, Vengeance and Hate
We know how to watch and we know how to wait
Everyone won't come late
~ CHORUS I ~
CHORUS II
Brothers and Sisters, fight in your anger
Brother in blood, tonight we end lives
Sister Resister, righteous in rancor
Brothers and Sisters, willing to die
