NO MERCY
Bullet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No escaping from World War III
On the streets there's a different cry
Politicians sitting high and dry
No mercy, no mercy
No mercy, no mercy
Countries melting for no good cause
Sixteen hands control our dreams
But who'll be here to hear our screams
[Solo]
See the strong man bend and shake
Earth and heaven, all will quake
Took so long to the this far
But poison hands now drive the car
No mercy, no mercy (no mercy)
No mercy (no mercy)
No mercy (no mercy)
No mercy (no mercy)
Hell will be the only place to hide
In the song No Mercy by Bullet, the lyrics express the fear and chaos of living in a world on the brink of World War III, with no hope for escape. The first two lines set the stage, with a sense of inevitability and helplessness. The next two lines describe the disconnect between the politicians who make decisions and the people who are affected by them, with the implication that the politicians are not taking the situation seriously.
The chorus emphasizes the bleakness of the situation with the repetition of "no mercy." This phrase could refer to the lack of mercy from the countries involved in the war, or perhaps the lack of mercy from fate itself, which has brought the world to this point.
The second verse describes the consequences of World War III in chilling terms. The line "who can run from the Holocaust" brings to mind the horrors of World War II, and suggests that a similar disaster is looming. The line "sixteen hands control our dreams" is more mysterious, but it suggests that a small group of people have too much power over the fate of the world.
The final lines of the song, "see the strong man bend and shake/earth and heaven, all will quake," describe the end of the world in apocalyptic terms. The last line, "hell will be the only place to hide," suggests that there is no escape from the destruction to come.
Overall, the song No Mercy by Bullet is a powerful and haunting expression of the fear and hopelessness that can arise in the face of an impending catastrophe.
