Lyrics Valjean - Nodes Of Ranvier

Valjean

Hate for hate
I bear corruption in my name
This life brings nothing but disdain
This world a grave filled with disease
On a condemned humanity
Where is your God of love and peace?
He has left me
I spit in the face of compassion
Mercy is for the weak
Kindness, a fairy tale that helps you
Get a good night’s sleep
I have seen humanity’s true form
Wicked, depraved and hellbound
We are corrupt.
Full of deceit
(So filled with) — Hate for hate
Striking back with vengeance
Revenge, my only allegiance
In a world that mocks my existence
God, can you hear your creation?
Surrounded by forces bent on my destruction
They call my name.
Expose my shame
But a voice of comfort, and a face of love
Shattered this cold and callous soul
I’ve seen forgiveness in its trust form
It brought surrender to this internal war
Cleansed forever, from my redemption
