Eye For An Eye

Men, like some of their mammal counterparts, are territorial species. And when their territory is being invaded by unwelcome outsiders and/or guests, they have all the right to charge against and block the intruders from getting into the place where they call solace and seek refuge.

Sometimes it is not clear why the intruder would commit such act. Maybe out of curiosity of how the former managed to have a secure status. Or they felt inferior of the former’s superiority? Or to prove that he or she is better and powerful and would take control of the former’s establishment.

One way or another, the intruder have only the right to do so, if he or she was disturbed or invaded by the former before. He or she would have to recognize all the possible chances and methods and foresee the consequences before threatening the former party.

Men would have to be cunning, skillful and strong to defend themselves and protect their pack from these ruthless hunters where they would gain total benefit off them if they’re weak and powerless. Some would prevail while others’ attempts would fail and cause them great physical and/or emotional loss instead. What goes around does come around.

The hunter would eventually becomes the prey. And they would have to move on to other suitable and relevant source of their interest to their capability or standard, whatever the reason may be, and proceed with their initial plan there.

I am what I create
Believing in my fate
Integrity is my name

All that I am doing
Can never be ruined
My song remains insane
Eye For An Eye, Eye For An Eye
Eye For An Eye, Eye For An Eye For An Eye For An Eye

Can’t you watch my back
Can’t you let my heart
Believe one day I’ll fly

To reunite the tribe
To find a better way
Fucking envy changes everything

Eye For An Eye, Eye For An Eye
Eye For An Eye, Eye For An Eye For An Eye For An Eye

I hate to borrow
You don’t understand
Pain, hate, pain

To born again
Arise again
I believe it’s the only way…

Eye For An Eye, Eye For An Eye
Eye For An Eye, Eye For An Eye For An Eye For An Eye
