Mercy – Bad Omens – letras

Blinded by a fear of feelingThese are the kings we choseLost and looking for the meaningI’ve been searching high and lowWhen we fade into nothingWhen we go up in the smokeWe’ll beg God for a mercyThat he knows we’d never showOn a canvas we stained with bloodAnd painted with our sinsThere’s a candle meltingAnd it’s burning at both endsWe’ll take and take ’til it cavesAnd drowns us in the wax it dripsLike a moth to a flameYou never should’ve fucking litYou can give sight to the blindBut you can’t force them to seeYou could take us back in timeBut it wouldn’t change a thingIf God came down from his kingdomHe came down from his homeAnd we asked him if he’d take us backHe would surely tell us noIf God came down from his kingdomHe came down from his throneAnd we asked him if he’d take us backHe would tell us we can’t goTo a rat in a maze the end isWhere the start beginsBut if we made it out I knowThat we would do it all againWe live and die in vainLike treasure on a sinking shipAll in the name of a GodWe’d just abandon and forgetIf God came down from his kingdomHe came down from his homeAnd we asked him if he’d take us backHe would surely tell us noIf God came down from his kingdomHe came down from his throneAnd we asked him if he’d take us backHe would tell us we can’t goWe’re dying everydayTell me is it all in vainIs it worth the suffering?Is it worth the price we paid?Is it worth it?You can give sight to the blindBut you can’t force them to seeYou could take us back in timeBut it wouldn’t change a thingIf God came down from his kingdomHe came down from his homeAnd we asked him if he’d take us backHe would surely tell us noIf God came down from his kingdomHe came down from his throneAnd we asked him if he’d take us backHe would tell us we can’t goBlinded by a fear of feelingThese are the kings we choseLost and looking for the meaningI’ve been searching high and lowWhen we fade into nothingWhen we go up in the smokeWe’ll beg God for a mercyThat he knows we’d never showYou can give sight to the blindBut you can’t force them to seeYou could take us back in timeBut it wouldn’t change a fucking thing
