Mercy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Prayer for the divine
You died for your sins
And I will die for mine
Final crucifixion
Penetrate the palms and wrists
Reason death with sin
Yet the innocent still suffer
That we don't even know exists
You think we've found resolve
Yet the innocent still suffer
Faulty ceremony
Blasphemous disguise
Fraudulent messiah
A worship built on lies
Mission of conversion
Force upon us his good word
You say it is god's plan
Yet the innocent still suffer
Cast assimilation
Ensure that all have heard
One god who loves all
Yet the innocent still suffer
Hammer the nail straight through the palm
Shatter the bone chant the psalm
His mortal blood soaks into the dirt
His death was in vain
Our sins can't equate
To the life of one
To spit in the face
Of creator and earth
And the stars above
Foundations of greed and hatred
With regard for none.
The lyrics of Mercy's song "Mercy" convey a sense of despair and hopelessness in the face of a world that is burning. The opening lines, "The move is made, backs be turned, it's all the same, the world that burns," suggest a world that is turning its back on those in need, allowing the flames of destruction to spread unchecked. The image of "Mother mercy" closing her eyes on the world implies a sense of abandonment, as if the forces of goodness and compassion have given up the fight.
But despite the gloom of the opening verses, the chorus offers a glimmer of hope: "And now I pray, save the sane." This line suggests that there are still those who have not been swept up in the chaos, who have not lost their minds or their sense of decency, and who are still capable of making a difference. In a world that seems to have lost all sense of mercy and compassion, these individuals offer a ray of hope.
Overall, "Mercy" is a powerful and evocative song that speaks to the turbulent times we live in. It offers a sobering look at a world that is in peril and urges us to hold onto our humanity and our compassion, even in the darkest of times.
