[Intro - Spoken, echo FX]  
“The Earth,” he said, “is a monster filled with monsters…”  
[Verse 1]  
Backhand blow in a tavern flame,  
Smoke and silence, eyes of shame  
Crone lies bleeding, breath held tight,  
From fire and shadow, she takes flight  
[Pre-Chorus]  
Threads of fog and rags decay  
A crow cries out where night holds sway  
[Chorus]  
Maščevanje! Rise from pain!  
Born of wrath, she walks again  
Cards and vengeance in her hand  
She’ll bring ruin to this land  
[Verse 2]  
Climbing high through freezing wind  
One last card, one final sin  
The castle waits, the past alive  
A giant’s myth she must survive  
[Bridge – Dialogue Style]  
"Your parents named you Revenge?"  
"No," she laughed, "they called me Blatna..."  
[Chorus - Reprise, heavier guitars]  
Maščevanje! Rise from flame!  
Black smoke cloak, she’s earned her name  
Joker falls, and giants quake  
Vengeance wakes the world to break  
[Outro - Whispered, fading FX]  
A crow through batwing doors...  
She was never there...
