Hunting high and low to seek revenge
Brand new moral code, got made reluctant renegade
Leaving empty souls when he avenged
Evil spirits flowed he drank the blood like lemonade

One of the best ways to get revenge on an ex is to just do you. Go on that trip you always talk about. Take that class you've been promising yourself you would try. Take up pottery damn it! This is your time. Even if the ex doesn't notice how fabulous your life is without them, at least you'll be living a more fabulous life.

Revenge commonly hurts both the offerer and sufferer; as we see in a foolish bee, which in her anger invenometh the flesh and loseth her sting, and so lives a drone ever after.
JOSEPH HALL

Had all his hairs been lives, my great revenge had stomach for them all.

(Hey, oh)
Say hello to a world of disgrace
(Hey, oh)
How long will I wait
For the best revenge
