hämnas +‎ -are

Noun

hämnare c

  1. an avenger (one who exacts revenge)
    • 2019, Raubtier (lyrics and music), “Bunkern [The bunker]”, in Överlevare [Survivor]‎:
      En lista med namn har jag bragt med mig ned, på de som bär ansvar för skräcken som spreds. De sitter i trygghet, i säkert förvar, men räknar ej med att en hämnare är kvar. Automatkarbin, magasin och Glock. Taktisk tomahawk såväl som både rök- och spränggranater. Hämndens timma slår för en vilsen flock, som icke byggde bunkrar, som icke hade knivar, gaffatejp, torrfoder och filar, vattenreningsverk och jod, en mil av helikoptersnöre. Silver, värmeljus, pilbågar och pilar, tills endast strålning lyser över kackerlackans värld.
      A list of names I have brought down with me, of those who bear responsibility for the horror that spread. They're sitting in safety, in safe keeping, but do not expect that an avenger remains. Assault rifle, magazines, and Glock. Tactical tomahawk as well as both smoke and high-explosive grenades. The hour of revenge strikes for a lost herd, that did not build bunkers, that did not have knives, gaffer tape, dry food and files, water purification plant and iodine, a mile of bungee cord. Silver, tea lights, bows and arrows, until only radiation shines over the world of the cockroach.
