End of Mercy

it's time I told you the truth, even though it hurts

We lived through even this curse, through the blood and dirt

They came out of nowhere these plagues and far worse

Shores of hell ,a city on the edge of forever, severed, no love but a lot of

anger amid the tragedy of eternal December but no snow, this is embers

before he was burnt he wailed but it was too late and he couldn't fit in a pail

I see the rings but no this ain't halo, this isn't a massacre, this is from below

it ain't gravemind, i've got a gray mind, a great mind turned a grey mine into a

slaves eyes, a pain cycle, this shadow gone viral but it ain't a virus

this is a dire thrust, a nightmare made manifest, man it's not a jest

Not a test, this is a metro, a tunnel of sadness, drabness, a last will of the

last poor kid that saw his life go up in flames like last months top 20 hits but it's

like this: there's monsters out past the limits, rivets and bolts made to make a

gun that in many ways could see past our faults and even

could scare the colts and drive past the yard line into a touch down

where we touch down and finally breath the air above now

and touch ground so we go down into the depths now and make a new life

for ourselves full of trains and towns and bullets and crowns when the

end comes, this is our land, our blood, our friends, our suns, our wind, our hands

my god, we're outmanned but the shots won't land till we give a damn and

ever we march onward, our screams like a songbird, all metal but we'll be heard

until the earth buries us onward, and we fall onto the remnants of our swords
