the merciful one

fear is not within

i can sense the evil coming

and now i can't erase them from my mind

i know for i have seen

firsthand how they will break you down

merciful one does not exist

this needless suffering

these demons are not real

their voices will return someday

we can but stare into the sun

and rise above the flames

i realize i'm not the chosen one

but i'll burn you to the ground

the face not to be seen

so why should i believe it

i cannot let these feelings take over me

right before my eyes

is a testament to fighting back

what are the chances of repeat

this needless suffering

these demons are not real

their voices will return someday

we can but stare into the sun

and rise above the flames

i realize i'm not the chosen one

i've never said these words before

now i feel betrayed

for i

once was

the same as you

fear of failure

crawling back now

begging to forgive

in this life we've

no second chances

falling on deaf ears

we can but stare into the sun

and rise above the flames

i realize i'm not the chosen one

but i'll burn you to the ground

now i feel betrayed

for i once was the same
