Mercy

Fall from the darkness

and swallow a choking breath

winds howl and scream

and tear the scorched earth

Scatter the ashes

lower the casket

forever in turmoil

buried beneath the broken soil

Cast me into desolation

I'll find my path again

torn into pieces

yet each step guides me back

the fires are built

and promise a change that will be repaid

there was no mercy for you or I

so the earth will be set ablaze

Blood for blood

surrender or don't

but forgiveness is a lie to behold

Submission

relinquish all your fears and give in

the pain floods in as you inhale

Submission

relinquish all your hurt

and begin to denounce this cruel world

When the sound of the burning fires awake you

stir and come to

smoke fills the sky and clouds

and coves the frozen moon

sever the growing distance between us

and guide me to align

worlds apart yet I fell the pulse

like a severed vein

blood for blood

surrender or don't

but forgiveness is a myth to behold

No atonement

or sins to be absolved

There is no redemption

within this life
