Visions of Atlantis – Mercy
Mercy [Verse 1] Sailing across the sea Some men you know have been plotting You trust their loyalty Find out their plans while they're sleeping [Verse 2] I must punish the crime The power is mine Justice I'll give in due time [Pre-Chorus 1] I will sharpen my blade Lead my crusade Doom to the ones who betrayed [Chorus] The hour of judgement is coming They pray that you follow your mercifulness The heart of the coward is showing There is more power in pity than courage in hate [Verse 3] Dreading your cruelty Standing in line they are trembling You loathe dishonesty Silence can feel so dissembling [Verse 4] But I need my revenge The wrongs to avenge Soon is the time to repent [Pre-Chorus 2] And the fire inside Burning my mind Anger belongs to the blind [Chorus] The hour of judgement is coming They pray that you follow your mercifulness The heart of the coward is showing There is more power in pity than courage in hate [Instrumental Break] [Bridge] Sailing across the sea My heart as deep as the ocean And the fire inside Has opened my eyes I must belong to the wise [Outro] The day that I give in to mercy I give up the violence that evil adores The day that my burden is drowning Over and over the waves kiss the shores The day that I let go of struggle Horizons will open as far as I see The day I'm completing the cycle Over and over the winds keep returning, returning to me |
