Pontifex - No Mercy lyrics

[Verse 1] Something wicked this way comes My mind won't calm as I hear these drums Watching from the tower tonight Something in the world just don't feel right Drunk on arrogance and pride Wear a thin disguise, With dim lit eyes What do we live for? What makes the soul soar? Doesn't anyone fear God anymore? Rip and tear at each other and think there's no cost Gain an empire but the soul is so lost Steal a throne and wear a crown you can't claim Freely given to the poor who know his sweet name Ignore the symphony, the static consumes Live like animals and dwell in dark rooms They way doesn't sway with the trends Alpha and omega, beginning and the end my friends [Hook] Where the red fern grows, to the rest I know Dark wanna spread d**h into the best live shows Hungry still feeding on survival Evil lives criminal minded to 5 -0 Where the head turns slow to the rest I know Dark wanna spread d**h into the best live shows And when it stops and the earth breathes Then it's finished, no mercy [Verse 2] Close our eyes and close our ears Ignore what's here and hope it disappears But it's relentless seeps in every fiber Blood in the ohio blood in the Tiber Stained on the hands and it won't wash off Sear the conscience continue to scoff They say he doesn't see, choose pleasure's misery Chains keep clanging but they claim to be free Where does it end? Time doesn't stop The second hand moves on a dead man's watch (x4) I'm just looking for a heart beat [Hook] [Bridge] If we don't turn to God, who do we turn to? Power and riches become the new virtues Embrace a survival of the fittest mentality Lose sight of God, lose sight of reality And I just wanna look out tonight And see if anybody shines with the light Make my way, to see what I see Looking for a person with a heart full of mercy [Hook] (last line: And when it stops and the earth bleeds, lord have mercy)
