Mercy
Fall from the darkness and swallow a choking breath
Winds howl and scream and tear the scorched earth
Scatter the ashes, lower the casket
Forever in turmoil, buried beneath the broken soil

Cast me into desolation, I'll find my path again
Torn into pieces yet each step guides me back
The fires are built and promise a change that will be repaid
There was no mercy for you or I, so the earth will be set ablaze

Blood for blood, surrender or don't
But forgiveness is a lie to behold

Submission, relinquish all your fears and give in
The pain floods in as you inhale
Submission, relinquish all your hurt
And begin to denounce this cruel world

When the sound of the burning fires awake you stir and come to
Smoke fills the sky and clouds and covers the frozen moon
Sever the growing distance between us and guide me to align
Worlds apart yet I fell the pulse like a severed vein
Blood for blood, surrender or don't
But forgiveness is a myth to behold

Submission, relinquish all your fears and give in
The pain floods in as you inhale
Submission, relinquish all your hurt
And begin to denounce this cruel world

[Guitar solo]

No atonement or sins to be absolved
There is no redemption within this life
