X(yz+1): Collins Dictionary defines retribution as punishment for a crime, especially punishment that is carried out by someone other than the official authorities. I suppose forgive and forget is the right way to go – but heed this warning because this song is telling you ahead of time that payback is coming and payback’s a bitch.
Boom on the floor
Let it shake the walls
Hear that hammer roll
Hear that judgment call
You took what wasn’t yours
Left me in the dust
Tried to bury my name
In your lies and rust
I kept my head down
Let the record spin
But every wrong you fed me
Grew a fire within
Now the night got long
And the road got mean
I see your shadow move
In the gap between
You hear that thunder coming
From the back road bend
I don’t come to warn you
I come to end
Retribution’s coming
(retribution’s coming)
Retribution’s here
(retribution’s here)
You made your bed in the mud
Now the payback’s near
Retribution’s coming
(retribution’s coming)
Retribution’s here
(retribution’s here)
Three voices singing justice
And your time is here
Mama said, son, let it go
Lord knows I tried
But the taste of your bad blood
Would not leave my side
You flashed your grin in the dark
Like you owned the town
Now the same hands you raised up
Gonna pull you down
Hear those tires on the gravel
Hear that iron door
You can run all you want
But you can’t outrun what’s for
The line is drawn in charcoal
On the promise you broke
When the wheels stop turning
You can choke on smoke
Retribution’s coming
(retribution’s coming)
Retribution’s here
(retribution’s here)
You made your bed in the mud
Now the payback’s near
Retribution’s coming
(retribution’s coming)
Retribution’s here
(retribution’s here)
Three voices singing justice
And your time is here
I gave you grace
You spit it back
Now the ledger’s open wide
One last chance
One last breath
Before the tide comes in tonight
Yeah, the whole house shakes
When the truth walks through
And it don’t forget
What you put me through
Retribution’s coming
(retribution’s coming)
Retribution’s here
(retribution’s here)
You made your bed in the mud
Now the payback’s near
Retribution’s coming
(retribution’s coming)
Retribution’s here
(retribution’s here)
Three voices singing justice
And your time is here
Boom on the floor
Let it shake the walls
Hear that hammer roll
Hear that judgment call
