NO MERCY
Hands of God Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Drop of blood
Pound for pound I will cut you down
You've had your chance
You know where I stand
There will be no mercy
When you think you've escaped from me (you won't)
I'll shatter the fantasy you've gotten away
Weak motherfucker it's the price you'll pay
A head for an eye
A stab for a cut
Ignorance is bliss till you're begging to die
Now you're afraid of the consequence for the choices you've made
Self-realization: I exist to hurt
A murderous secret I hide in my chest
A pact of violence that I've suppressed
I've planned your death and I'm fuckin obsessed
I touched darkness and let out a smile
Degrade myself just to feel a while
Disgusting and perverse, condemn my soul
I thrive in agony it makes me whole
No mercy for myself
No mercy for anyone else
The Hands of God's song "No Mercy" is a brutal and intense exploration of violence and vengeance. The opening lines set the stage for what's to come, with the author declaring their willingness to inflict pain and suffering ("Piece of flesh, Drop of blood, Pound for pound I will cut you down"). They are resolute in their stance, with no room for negotiation or mercy ("You've had your chance, You know where I stand, There will be no mercy").
The song continues to escalate in intensity, with the author describing the pleasure they take in causing harm ("Self-realization: I exist to hurt, A murderous secret I hide in my chest, A pact of violence that I've suppressed"). They are unapologetic about their desires, and they revel in the feelings of power and control that come with being able to inflict pain. The chorus ("No mercy for myself, No mercy for anyone else") underscores this point, suggesting that the author sees their own suffering as a necessary sacrifice in pursuit of their twisted goals.
The final verses of the song are particularly dark and disturbing, with the author confessing to finding joy in the darkest and most depraved corners of human experience ("I touched darkness and let out a smile, Degrade myself just to feel a while, Disgusting and perverse, condemn my soul, I thrive in agony it makes me whole"). The song ends with a sense of ominous finality, as the author declares that no one will be spared their wrath ("No mercy").
