Mercy
Blinded by a fear of feeling, these are the kings we chose
Lost and looking for the meaning, I've been searching high and low
When we fade into nothing, when we go up in the smoke
We'll beg God for a mercy that He knows we'd never show
On a canvas we stained with blood and painted with our sins
There's a candle melting and it's burning at both ends
We'll take and take 'til it caves and drowns us in the wax, it drips
Like a moth to a flame, you never should've fucking lit
You can give sight to the blind
But you can't force them to see
You could take us back in time
But it wouldn't change a thing
If God came down from His kingdom
He came down from His home
And we asked Him if He'd take us back
He would surely tell us no
If God came down from His kingdom
He came down from his throne
And we asked Him if He'd take us back
He would tell us we can't go
To a rat in a maze, the end is where the start begins
But if we made it out, I know that we would do it all again
We live and die in vain like treasure on a sinking ship
All in the name of a God, we'd just abandon and forget
If God came down from His kingdom
He came down from His home
And we asked Him if He'd take us back
He would surely tell us no
If God came down from His kingdom
He came down from his throne
And we asked Him if He'd take us back
He would tell us we can't go
We're dying every day
Tell me, is it all in vain?
Is it worth the suffering?
Is it worth the price we paid?
Is it worth it?
Yeah
Give sight to the blind
But you can't force them to see
You could take us back in time
But it wouldn't change a thing
If God came down from His kingdom
He came down from His home
And we asked Him if He'd take us back
He would surely tell us no
If God came down from His kingdom
He came down from his throne
And we asked Him if He'd take us back
He would tell us we can't go
Blinded by a fear of feeling, these are the kings we chose
Lost and looking for the meaning, I've been searching high and low
When we fade into nothing, when we go up in the smoke
We'll beg God for a mercy that He knows we'd never show
You can give sight to the blind
But you can't force them to see
You could take us back in time
But it wouldn't change a fucking thing
Lost and looking for the meaning, I've been searching high and low
When we fade into nothing, when we go up in the smoke
We'll beg God for a mercy that He knows we'd never show
On a canvas we stained with blood and painted with our sins
There's a candle melting and it's burning at both ends
We'll take and take 'til it caves and drowns us in the wax, it drips
Like a moth to a flame, you never should've fucking lit
You can give sight to the blind
But you can't force them to see
You could take us back in time
But it wouldn't change a thing
If God came down from His kingdom
He came down from His home
And we asked Him if He'd take us back

If God came down from His kingdom
He came down from his throne
