Mercy

Sailing across the sea
Some men you know have been plotting
You trust their loyalty
Find out their plans while they're sleeping

I must punish the crime
The power is mine
Justice I'll give in due time

I will sharpen my blade
Lead my crusade
Doom to the ones who betrayed

The hour of judgement is coming
They pray that you follow your mercifulness
The heart of the coward is showing
There is more power in pity than courage in hate

Dreading your cruelty
Standing in line they are trembling
You loathe dishonesty
Silence can feel so dissembling

But I need my revenge
The wrongs to avenge
Soon is the time to repent

And the fire inside
Burning my mind
Anger belongs to the blind

The hour of judgement is coming
They pray that you follow your mercifulness
The heart of the coward is showing
There is more power in pity than courage in hate

Sailing across the sea
My heart as deep as the ocean
And the fire inside
Has opened my eyes
I must belong to the wise

The day that I give in to mercy
I give up the violence that evil adores
The day that my burden is drowning
Over and over the waves kiss the shores

The day that I let go of struggle
Horizons will open as far as I see
The day I'm completing the cycle
Over and over the winds keep returning, returning to me
