Mercy (Tides of Man)

Marching with purpose To show him that I'm right Threatening our values Some people just deserve to die These broken cities (serve a purpose) These ugly times will spring anew A life where none are threatened By evil minds that run askew Lust! Greed! Fear will leave no room for Pain! Tears! Voided by submission Lust! Greed! Fear will leave no room for Pain! Tears! Eradication! Separated by the faults we find in love Belittled, Uninspired, My swollen throat is tired And the soldiers keep on marching Thought it all seems so surreal But in this building that we enter The smell of death is so severe Rifle fire opens from the seventh floor Scrambling up the stairs To kick open the door Across the bloodstained hallway I saw mercy conquer hate I screamed with desperate blame and passion: "You let the fucker get away!" Lust! Greed! Fear will leave no room for Pain! Tears! Voided by submission Lust! Greed! Fear will leave no room for Pain! Tears! Eradication What embarrassment I bore Just fall in with accord But you preach those empty words: "Turn the other cheek!"
