The Merciful One

(album: Darkness Will Rise - 2017)

Fear is not within
I can sense the evil coming
And now I can't erase them from my mind
I know for I have seen
Firsthand how they will break you down
Merciful one does not exist

This needless suffering (that falls upon me)
These demons are not real (in my eye)
Their voices will return someday

We can but stare into the sun
And rise above the flames
I realize I'm not the chosen one
But I'll burn you to the ground

The face not to be seen
So why should I believe it
I cannot let these feelings take over me

Right before my eyes
Is a testament to fighting back
What are the chances of repeat

This needless suffering (that falls upon me)
These demons are not real (in my eye)
Their voices will return someday

We can but stare into the sun
And rise above the flames
I realize I'm not the chosen one
I've never said these words before

Now I feel betrayed
For I
Once was
The same as you

Fear of failure
Crawling back now
Begging to forgive
In this life we've
No second chances
Falling on deaf ears

We can but stare into the sun
And rise above the flames
I realize I'm not the chosen one
But I'll burn you to the ground

Now I feel betrayed
For I once was the same
