| Revenge Ballad | comment |
Revenge is one of the oldest, simplest, and most compelling plots in existence. And for almost as long as the concept has been around, people have been writing songs about it. Sister Trope to the Murder Ballad, the Revenge Ballad is any song about getting even. The wrong righted could be almost anything—popular topics for these songs include Domestic Abuse, someone else's murder, and romantic mistreatment. Can overlap with Break-Up Song, Grief Song, or Sanity Slippage Song. If a whole bunch of people participate, it may be an Angry Mob Song. May involve Best Served Cold, Crusading Widow, The Dog Bites Back, Rape and Revenge, Roaring Rampage of Revenge, and/or A Taste of Their Own Medicine. |

RWBY: "One Thing" doubles as a Grief Song, centering around Neo's anguish over Roman's death and her blaming Cinder for his demise. The song implies Roman was the 'one thing' keeping Neo's life from being a living hell, and that Cinder destroyed it by getting him killed. | |

The Dick Van Dyke Show: In "The Sam Pomerantz Scandals", Sally performs "I Want to Be Around", which is sung from the perspective of a Woman Scorned hoping that she's there when the guy who broke her heart gets his own broken. The song's lyrics don't apply to Sally herself, however. | |

Daniel Kahn and The Painted Bird's "Six Million Germans/Nakam" is something of a subversion. While it starts out as a song about Abba Kovner's plan to get revenge on Those Wacky Nazis, by the end it's much more complicated. | |

Sound Horizon's Marchen album revolves around the spirits of seven women (all but one from the Fairy Tales of The Brothers Grimm) being granted a chance at revenge against the people who wronged them by a strange ghost who goes by the name Marchen. The seventh woman, Elisabeth, rejects this offer, content that her first and only love Marz has finally fulfilled his promise to return to her, even if only in death. | |

Empires SMP: In the official adaptation Empires: the Musical (Ocean Queen Edition), the song "The Stand-Off" covers Joey stealing Sir Strawberry, one of Lizzie's axolotls, and Lizzie taking revenge by kidnapping the Lost Empire's Tiger Blood Prince in return and declaring an exchange of kidnappees, while secretly hiring Sausage as an assassin to kill Joey at the exchange. The revenge part is deconstructed as per the source material, as Joey gets the same idea and Sausage ends up killing both Joey and Lizzie at the exchange as their respective deals required. At the end of the song, Lizzie reflects that the double assassination was deserved as "in our selfishness, we both forgot to self-preserve". | |
