Old Mother Hell - Avenging Angel

half a life ago when she was still a child
her father came to her every other night
told her not to scream
told her not to fight

ten years afterwards the warden made his move
lured her to his room right beneath the roof
tied her to his bed
banished her to dread

now she's there upon the hill
grinding her teeth into her knife
hands all smeared in blood of her enemies
hid the truth so many years
living a bleak and painful life

now she's avenging angel
avenging angel
she's an avenging angel
avenging angel - sacrificing blood

killed her father and the warden long ago
nonetheless she's still on a mission though
hunting down her prey
dark knight so to say

retribution sets her eagerness ablaze
every time she looks into a scumbag's face
feeding on their fears
reclaiming her tears
