Lyrics
"They say mercy’s for the weak… but it takes steel to show it."
I carry steel to hold the line, And mercy just to keep me kind. The road don’t bend, it just runs long, You learn what’s right by ridin’ wrong.
Every scar, a vow I keep, Every night, a debt runs deep.
Steel and mercy, hand in hand, One to fight, one to understand. If judgment comes, I’ll stand still — Steel to cut, mercy to heal.
I’ve seen men break beneath their pride, Watched their hearts turn cold inside. But peace don’t live where angels kneel, It’s found in hands that know what’s real.
Every sin I can’t defend, Still I’ll face it at the end.
Steel and mercy, hand in hand, Fire and rain, dust and sand. If heaven waits, I’ll make my deal — Steel to cut, mercy to heal.
I’ve buried men, I’ve carried names, But I never swung a blade for fame. Sometimes to save, you gotta break — And mercy’s born from what you take.
Steel hums low, mercy cries, Both are forged where honor dies.
Steel and mercy, hand in hand, The mark of every living man. If the dust forgets what’s real — Steel to cut, mercy to heal.
