Mercy

Summon Yee
Forgive thy mercy
In a common sea 
Thy rivers forever run murky
Fear not 
For I forgive thy mercy
My plot 
To forever remain unearthly
Tomorrow’s horror 
Is but one life borrowed 
No balance to weigh yee flesh
Thrust my steel in a lake of rest 
Mercy men
Are there any other worthy men
No justice, no plea
Mercy
King of Kings 
Mercy
For he can not win
I am but a stem of your life 
A limb in time poorly guided right
And when the burning within me shall perish
Thy times of mortar shall vary
Stand and receive your mercy, men
On this land, I am unearthly men
Under no content are you worthy men
