Rick NowelsRevenge was one of the songs that were rejected to take part in the Ray Of Light album. Amoss, Madonna's Ashram's webmaster, was the first to air 2 little fragment of this song, which is available in full length in the internet now (with a great quality). Revenge is a great song, really good, which would have suit pefectly in the Ray Of Light album, even more than other that were included. Why Madonna decided not to include it? We won't know until Madonna herself say that. One of the rasons may be that Revenge has some lyrics Madonna thought wouldn't suit in her most spiritual album.
The song is writen by Rick Nowels (co-writer of The power Of Goodbye, To Have But Not Hold and Little Star), an unknown Greg Fitzgerald (who has worked with another Madonna collaborator, Billy Steinberg), and Madonna herself.
Amoss says in his web that Robert Miles (creator of the hit One & One) also took part in this song, but Bruce Baron (who has deeply researched about Madonna's forgotten songs) says that Robert Miles doesn't appear in the song's credits.
lyric
Revenge
There is no such thing as revenge
You will not give as good as you got
There is no such thing as an eye for an eye
If you think you're the giver, you're not
There is no such thing as regret
There is no point in placing the blame
Hate destroys the ones who hate
And everyone suffers the same

What you see
Is not necessarily what you get
The eyes are the windows to the soul
So take your judgements
And let them go

There are only love and respect
To the known self be true
When you point a finger
There are three fingers pointed back at you

What you see
Is not necessarily what you get
The eyes are the windows to the soul
So take your judgements
And let them go

Recognize that love is alive in everyone
Recognize that love is in us all.
