Theme

A song of ultimate revenge and condemnation, where the narrator declares an enemy to be completely insignificant: **'You're Dead to Me'**. It focuses on the intense, lingering desire for vengeance and the satisfaction of knowing the enemy's inevitable downfall is coming, culminating in the promise to 'dance on your graves'.

Lyrics
When someone becomes **nothing to anyone** Wilts feelings have died Anyone would know it They set out stick and stones They say they crossed my bones I say I don't get mad I **get even** Before they do. **Spoils go to the victor** I'm dead on time **Your time is going to come** One day I'll **dance on your graves** Even if you're **buried at sea** Till then till when I **exact my revenge** I'll tell them you're **dead to me** We're all just trying to hold on to anything You'd think they'd know that's what we're trying to do These wounds are **invisible** Underneath the dirt I still see the **scars** But then when things got bad we spread our wings and **fly away** You'll take all your riches in the back of a **hearse** **Your time is going to come** One day I'll **dance on your graves** Even if you're **buried at sea** Till then till when I **exact my revenge** I'll tell them you're **dead to me** One day I'll **dance on your grave** Even if you're **buried at sea** Till then till when I **exact my revenge** One day I'll **dance on your graves** Even if you're **buried at sea** Till then till when I **exact my revenge** I'll tell them you're **dead to me**
