Jeff Williams – One Thing lyrics

(RWBY Volume 6 Soundtrack)

[Verse 1]
Kill for kill, eye for eye
Blood for blood, it's time to die
Retribution tastes so sweet
Gone’s the lifT that he gave
Now revenge is all I crave
Retaliation's soon complete

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I was nowhere, I had no one
I felt nothing
Lost without a voice
And on my own
Then a candle's strength brought a brand new name
But now you've stolen everything
And I'm all alone

[Chorus]
I had one thing
And you’ve taken it from me
A single light, a single friend
But you’ve made that end
There was one thing
To help escape the misery
And now it’s all disarrayed
You took my whole life away
You sent me back to nothing
Now you’ll pay, pay!

[Verse 2]
Life for life, death for death
Tit for tat, just one last breath
Absolution's nowhere near
Cue the scene, now it's time
Reparation for your crime
[?] is finally here

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I have waited for this meeting
For this moment
Dreamed about the day I'd make you crawl
What a sweet release when you rest in peace
Vengeance, justice, finally mine
And I'll watch you fall

[Chorus]
I was nowhere
I had no-one
I felt nothing
(?)
Then the candle strayed
For a brand new name
But now you're torn
From everything and now I'm all alone

I had one thing
And you’ve taken it from me
A single light
A single friend
But you’ve made that end

There was one thing
To help escape the misery
And now it’s all disarrayed
You took my whole life away
You sent me back to nothing
Now you’ll pay

Life for life
Death for death
(?)
One last breath
Absolutions nowhere near

I had waited for
This meaningful
This moment
Dreamed about
The day I'd make you go
What a sweet release
When you rest in peace
Then this justice is finally mine

I had one thing
And you’ve taken it from me
A single light
A single friend
But you’ve made that end

There was one thing
To help escape the misery
And now it’s all disarrayed
You took my whole life away
You sent me back to nothing

Now you’ll pay the price
You destroyed my life
After years of suffering
Finally had a place to go
But not anymore
And now its war
And there won't be peace til I get what I came for
I had one thing (one thing)
And you’ve taken it from me (taken)
A single light
A single friend
But you’ve made that end (yeah yeah)

There was one thing (one thing)
To help escape the misery
And now it’s all disarrayed (now it's all)
You took my whole life away
You sent me back to nothing
Now you’ll pay
Now you’ll pay
