Lyrics
Mercy
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Blinded by a fear of feeling
These are the kings we chose
Lost and looking for the meaning
I've been searching high and low
When we fade into nothing
When we go up in the smoke
We’ll beg God for a mercy that he knows we'd never show
On a canvas we stained with blood and painted with our sins
There's a candle melting and it’s burning at both ends
We'll take and take 'til it caves and drowns us in the wax it drips
Like a moth to the flame you never should've fucking lit
You can give sight to the blind
But you can't force them to see
You could take us back in time
But it wouldn't change a thing
If God came down from his kingdom
He came down from his home
And we asked him if he'd take us back
He would surely tell us no
If God came down from his kingdom
He came down from his throne
And we asked him if he'd take us back
He would tell us we can’t go
To a rat in a maze the end is where the start begins
But if we made it out I know that we would do it all again
We live and die in vain like treasure on a sinking ship
All in the name of a God we’d just abandon and forget
If God came down from his kingdom
He came down from his home
And we asked him if he'd take us back
He would surely tell us no
If God came down from his kingdom
He came down from his throne
And we asked him if he'd take us back
He would tell us we can’t go
We're dying everyday
Tell me is it all in vain
Is it worth suffering?
Is it worth the price we paid?
We're dying everyday
Tell me is it all in vain
Is it worth suffering?
Is it worth it?
You can give sight to the blind
But you can't force them to see
You could take us back in time
But it wouldn't change a thing
If God came down from his kingdom
He came down from his home
And we asked him if he'd take us back
If God came down from his kingdom
He came down from his throne
And we asked him if he'd take us back
He would tell us we can’t go
Blinded by a fear of feeling
These are the kings we chose
Lost and looking for the meaning
I've been searching high and low
When we fade into nothing
When we go up in the smoke
We’ll beg God for a mercy that he knows we'd never show
