I Saw Mercy Conquer Hate - Tides Of Man

Marching with purpose to show him that I’m right

Threatening our values, some people just deserve to die

These broken cities (serve a purpose)

These ugly times will spring anew

A life where none are threatened by evil minds that run askew

Lust, greed, fear will leave no room for

Pain, tears, voided by submission

Lust, greed, fear will leave no room for

Pain, tears, eradication

Separated by the faults we find in love

Belittled, uninspired, my swollen throat is tired

And the soldiers keep on marching though it all seems so surreal

But in this building that we enter, the smell of death is so severe

Rifle fire opens from the seventh floor

Scrambling up the stairs to kick open the door

Across the bloodstained hallway I saw mercy conquer hate

I screamed with desperate blame and passion

«You let the fucker get away!»

Lust, greed, fear will leave no room for

Pain, tears, voided by submission

Lust, greed, fear will leave no room for

Pain, tears, eradication

What embarrassment I bore

Just fall in with accord

But you preach those empty words

«Turn the other cheek!»

(Separated by the faults we find in love, belittled, uninspired)

(A life where none are threatened by evil minds that run askew)
