"...A Dish Best Served Coldly" is a song by Type O Negative, included on their sixth album Life Is Killing Me, released in 2003. This song features the acoustic guitar and choirs by Kenny Hickey, as well as what sounds like metal cooking pots embedded in it. The lyrics is about the unregrettable battle in the world with no enacted laws.

Lyrics[]

What makes you think that you have won
When the battle has only just begun?
Let the punishment fit the crime
Bad things come to those in all good time

My mistake was to put you first
Deceitful bubble was so soon to burst
I asked you - believe in just us
Now my faith lie in mine own justice

How many times must I say I'm not sorry?
And how many ways can I show I don't care?

Rotting bodies of enemies
Cannot smell sweet enough to me
What is the price of a friend
Who would carry out revenge?

In this bleak world of absent laws
One in which the just are whores
An honor to die for the truth
Eye for an eye, and tooth for tooth

How many times must I say I'm not sorry?
And how many ways can I show I don't care?
