Requital: Unleashing Vengeful Flames of Justice
Lyrics
I will be a poison if I cannot be a cure
Expresses willingness to become harmful if unable to bring healing or remedy.
We who were so many flowers
Symbolizes a group's collective beauty and vulnerability.
Will become a thousand thorns
Portrays transformation from beauty to defense mechanisms, suggesting a defensive response to harm.
Revenge as active mourning,
Describes revenge as an active form of grieving.
For all the extinguished flames
Refers to lost lives or passions and the commitment to reignite them.
We will launch fresh fire
Signifies the intent to initiate a new fervor, likely directed at specific wrongdoers.
At the few who are to blame
Targets blame towards a select few who are responsible.
The few who hoarded everything
Indicates resentment towards those who monopolized resources or power.
From us many who lost it all,
Highlights the disparity between those who retained everything and those who lost it.
A spiteful pull
Represents a vengeful action directed at something seemingly insignificant.
At a thread of wool
Metaphorically targets a small aspect that leads to significant consequences.
That would see the shirt now spoiled.
Expresses the intention to spoil or ruin something meaningful to the oppressor.
And if am going to burn
Implies a willingness to suffer or undergo pain as a form of retaliation.
Then you are going to burn
Reflects a reciprocal consequence for the harm caused.
For the wasting of all the world

Is a punishment you have earned.
Links the degradation of the world to the deserving punishment of the oppressor.
I'll drip my blood in to spike the wine,
Symbolizes tainting something precious (spiking wine with blood) as an act of revenge.
A kick at the wheel, and a thorn in your eye,

I will piss into the gears,
Metaphorically defiles their machinery or structures to hinder productivity.
Soil their halls of work and toil,

A spiteful pull
Similar to earlier lines, signifies targeting a seemingly insignificant element to spoil a significant outcome.

The men who stole our lives
Accuses certain individuals of robbing others of their livelihoods.
Can not be allowed to enjoy their prize,
Emphasizes the right to prevent oppressors from enjoying their ill-gotten gains.
