      Play that for the first 58 seconds of the song...just hit it over and
      over and bend it occasionally...listen to the song to get the bends

Lyrics:

The innocence robbed at early stage,
Bitterness alloys for the cage.
Pain gives birth to pain,
And hope gets smudged with bloodstains.
Despise yourself to swell with pride,
You think your hatred will win the prize.
I smell a change with horizons;
A face in your path now gone.
It's an attempt to deny,
You'd better find an alibi.
Spit in the face of mercy,
And now the debt you owe will multiply.

So blame everyone but yourself,
While your so-called arguments tow the line.
A two-fold edge of hate spills emotions,
That blind the public's eye.
With no claims to the life of a victim,
Offenses, a list of lost freedoms,
Keep mocking, keep mocking,
Keep mocking to fill infectious lies.

A mead of sweat drips cold from our brow,
And it's evident there's more to fear.
Here's a response to that message,
Of spite that you've clung to tightly for all these years.

The season is ripe for payback,
And the time is right for settlement.
The season is ripe for payback,
And the hour is near for cancellation.
The season is ripe for payback,
As you hear the voice of reason.
The season is ripe for payback,
Understand that your comments are not forgotten.

You don't want to face the fact that there's a debt to pay.
Blame everyone but yourself.
Be careful what you asked for,
'Cuz you've got your wish with judgement,
With payback.  Liar.

You've got a lot of nothing to say.
You've got a lot of hate to spray.
You've got a lot of nothing to say,
Yet your life is the meaning of temporary.
