Mercy

Heed my warning

Your tired eyes are starting to fail you

No light follows

On a path of descent

For you, there is no rest; no mitigation

Only fear and consequence

You walk a line that divides justice and revenge

Well, pray that justice finds you first

Fear not what you have done

Dread what I've become

Reigning terror down upon countless city streets,

To fulfill the lust of the wretched.

Your only predecessor's shame and the grip of exile tightens.

The shackles of morality dig deep into your wrists

But deeper still into the fabric of humanity.

Now we are empowered and will not succumb to this treachery

The truth reveals, the city is fine

The problem only lives inside of our minds

When you look at who's talking and what they have said,

Its clear your ideals are the ones that are dead

We will cleanse these city streets and wash away

The mistakes of our former brethren,

No longer human, but stricken from this earth

They have given up on themselves

Nothing more than a victim of consequence,

You cower in fear with your face in your hands.
