Unrepentant - Trivium

A poor man

With four daughters

A wife and a son

Daughter commits adultery

Or so he was told

Bought a knife and machete

After Friday’s prayers

Feared the young would follow old

Thought all must be killed

For your honor

You will slaughter

Every one of your daughters

For your honor

You will slaughter

It’s you who should be slaughtered

Terror grips the steel with hunger

Thirsting to avenge its soiled pride

Ashamed madman

You take their lives away as they sleep

The blade kisses at their throats

Life bleeds without a chance to weep

You take and take their lives away

You’re the man unrepentant

Don’t you realize

You murdered your own children

Call that honorable cause?

For your honor

You will slaughter

Every one of your daughters

For your honor

You will slaughter

It’s you who should be slaughtered

Terror grips the steel with hunger

Thirsting to avenge its soiled pride

Ashamed madman

You take their lives away as they sleep

The blade kisses at their throats

Life bleeds without a chance to weep

You take and take their lives away

For your honor

You will slaughter

Every one of your daughters

For your honor

You will slaughter

It’s you who should be slaughtered

Terror grips the steel with hunger

Thirsting to avenge its soiled pride

Ashamed madman

You take their lives away as they sleep

The blade kisses at their throats

Life bleeds without a chance to weep

You take and take their lives away
