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
