Mercy

Go and write your scarlet letter
Keep your head up in the sky
Go and preach your moral chatter
As your soul is filled with pride
Let the people know your judgment
Mighty ruler, king on high
Tell me what makes you so special
To decide who lives or dies
Let the man without a sin
Throw the first stone, throw the first brick
Oh, who are you to not forgive
You slimy, evil, hypocrite

I hope you get what you deserve
When justice makes its way to earth
You'll reap the bitter wrath you've sown
And quiver 'til you're all but bone

Tell me how'd you up so numb
What kind of trauma would it take
To delight in someone's killing
Let your conscience be erased
Still you're talking like you're holy
Tell me how'd you get this way
Can't you see the speck in your eye
Utter ignorance you've made

I hope you get what you deserve
When justice makes its way to earth
You'll reap the bitter wrath you've sown
And quiver 'til you're all but bone

Oh, oh, oh
How could I forgive someone
Who brought this on himself
Don't deserve no piece of heaven
Made our lives a living hell
You say bitterness is heavy
And to hold it does no good
It just feels so wrong to let go
Don't know how I ever could
