Blood for Mercy
Lazarus Sin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Breaking the bones,
Danger, turmoil
Peace not to be found
Ripping, tearing
So pulled apart,
Pounded and mashed
Pain is the thought.
As you slide to the floor,
And you plead to be saved
Receive what you deserve,
By the end of my blade.
Blood, blood for mercy
Blood, blood for mercy
Running, stumbling,
Flee for your life,
Battered, bitten
No place to hide
Spattered, spit-on,
I fire away...
Punching and pounding
This is your last day,
As you slide to the floor,
And you plead to be saved
Receive what you deserve,
By the end of my blade.
Blood, blood for mercy
Blood, blood for mercy
I want your blood, I want your blood...
Beating, smashing,
Breaking the bones,
Danger, turmoil
Peace not to be found
Ripping, tearing
So pulled apart,
Pounded and mashed
Pain is the thought.
As you slide to the floor,
And you plead to be saved
Receive what you deserve,
By the end of my blade.
Blood, blood for mercy
Blood, blood for mercy
I want your blood, I want your blood...
The lyrics of "Blood for Mercy" by Lazarus Sin depict a violent scenario where the singer expresses his desire for blood, specifically the blood of his prey. The opening lines describe the physical violence being inflicted, with bones being broken and bodies being ripped and torn apart. The lines "Danger, turmoil, peace not to be found" suggest that the violence is occurring in a chaotic, unstable environment where there is no hope of escape.
The chorus, "Blood, blood for mercy," highlights the singer's twisted sense of justice. He believes that his prey deserves to be punished for some unknown offense or perhaps for just being in the wrong place at the wrong time. The lines "As you slide to the floor, and you plead to be saved, receive what you deserve, by the end of my blade" suggest that the singer is in control and enjoys the power he holds over his victim.
In the second half of the song, the singer continues to describe the violence, now in the form of chasing and firing at the prey. The final line, "I want your blood, I want your blood" reinforces the horrifying message that the singer is taking pleasure in the violence he is inflicting on another human being.
Overall, the lyrics paint a disturbing picture of violence and sadism, with the singer reveling in the pain and suffering he is causing.
