I Buried Mercy with My Name

Mercy’s gone, and so am I… Buried deep where the dead men lie.

I put my mercy in a shallow grave, No priest to bless, no soul to save. Carved the stone with blood and flame, I buried mercy with my name.

I buried mercy with my name, No forgiveness, no holy flame. The earth remembers, the sky turns black, Mercy’s gone and it won’t come back.

I’ve seen the eyes of the ones I broke, Heard their prayers in the ash and smoke. But pity died when the fire came, I buried mercy with my name.

I buried mercy with my name, Laid it down in a bed of shame. The ground don’t heal, the ground don’t care, Mercy rots while I still stare.

Don’t call me righteous, don’t call me kind, Danger lives where the mercy died. No stone to mark it, no tear to claim, I buried mercy with my name.

I buried mercy with my name, Cursed the earth with fire and blame. I walk this road with nothing tame, I buried mercy with my name.
