Mercy

Bad Omens

5

Blinded by a fear of feeling, these are the kings we chose

Lost and looking for the meaning, I′ve been searching high and low

When we fade into nothing, when we go up in the smokeWe'll beg God for a mercy that He knows we′d never show

On a canvas we stained with blood and painted with our sins

There's a candle melting and it's burning at both ends

We′ll take and take ′til it caves and drowns us in the wax, it drips

Like a moth to a flame, you never should've fucking lit

You can give sight to the blind

But you can′t force them to see

You could take us back in time

But it wouldn't change a thing

If God came down from His kingdom

He came down from His home

And we asked Him if He′d take us back

He would surely tell us no

If God came down from His kingdom

He came down from his throne

And we asked Him if He'd take us back

He would tell us we can′t go

To a rat in a maze, the end is where the start begins

But if we made it out, I know that we would do it all again

We live and die in vain like treasure on a sinking ship

All in the name of a God, we'd just abandon and forget

If God came down from His kingdom

He came down from His home

And we asked Him if He'd take us back

He would surely tell us no

If God came down from His kingdom

He came down from his throne

And we asked Him if He′d take us back

He would tell us we can′t go

We're dying every day

Tell me, is it all in vain?

Is it worth the suffering?

Is it worth the price we paid?

Is it worth it?

Yeah

Give sight to the blind

But you can′t force them to see

You could take us back in time

But it wouldn't change a thing

If God came down from His kingdom

He came down from His home

And we asked Him if He′d take us back

He would surely tell us no

If God came down from His kingdom

He came down from his throne

And we asked Him if He'd take us back

He would tell us we can′t go

Blinded by a fear of feeling, these are the kings we chose

Lost and looking for the meaning, I've been searching high and low

When we fade into nothing, when we go up in the smoke

We'll beg God for a mercy that He knows we′d never show

You can give sight to the blind

But you can′t force them to see

You could take us back in time

But it wouldn't change a fucking thing
