Mercy
In silence
I couldn’t ever let you down
Your highness
Oh this blade won’t slice when still
And it won’t move without your will
So you’re to blame when I taste blood
On my lips
On my lips
On my lips
I’m begging
Now that you’re seeing red
In your reflection
Where’s your mercy gone?
Surrender
Wasn’t something you could give
In earnest
So you took the olive branch
And carved it into kindling
Oh was your warmth worth starting war
With your own
With your own
With your own
I’m begging
Now that you’re seeing red
In your reflection
Where’s your mercy gone?
I’m begging
Now that you’re seeing red
In your reflection
Where’s your mercy?
