Blinded by a fear of feeling, these are the kings we chose Lost and looking for the meaning, I've been searching high and low When we fade into nothing, when we go up in the smoke We'll beg God for a mercy that He knows we'd never show My friends, thank you, this song's called "Mercy" Yeah Break it up On a canvas we stained with blood and painted with our sins There's a candle melting and it's burning at both ends We'll take and take till it caves and drowns us in the wax it drips Like a moth to the flame, you never should've fucking lit You can give sight to the blind But you can't force them to see You could take us back in time But it wouldn't change a thing If God came down from His kingdom, He came down from His home And we asked Him if He'd take us back, He would surely tell us no If God came down from His kingdom, He came down from his throne And we asked Him if He'd take us back, He would tell us we can't go To a rat in a maze, the end is where the start begins But if we made it out, I know that we would do it all again We live and die in vain like treasure on a sinking ship All in the name of a God we'd just abandon and forget If God came down from His kingdom, He came down from His home And we asked Him if He'd take us back, He would surely tell us no If God came down from His kingdom, He came down from his throne And we asked Him if He'd take us back, He would tell us we can't go We're dying every day Tell me, is it all in vain? Is it worth the suffering? Is it worth the price we paid? Is it worth it? Yeah You can give sight to the blind But you can't force them to see You could take us back in time But it wouldn't change a thing If God came down from His kingdom, He came down from His home And we asked Him if He'd take us back, He would surely tell us no If God came down from His kingdom, He came down from his throne And we asked Him if He'd take us back, He would tell us we can't go Blinded by a fear of feeling, these are the kings we chose Lost and looking for the meaning, I've been searching high and low When we fade into nothing, when we go up in the smoke We'll beg God for a mercy that He knows we'd never show You can give sight to the blind But you can't force them to see You could take us back in time But it wouldn't change a fucking thing
