Mercy



In a reign of manipulators,
My life was delectable,
The moments were few
At least they were true.

You brought disaster
With your arrival,
Titled yourself as king.
But I remember you
From the devil's deed.

You had your own rules
You had your games
You chose your opponents
And force them to play.

I was one of them,
You titled me queen.
From that point
The destruction proceeds.
Mercy, mercy, I begged for mercy
Oh, I wasn't aware
I was the one who offer mercy.

But you were aware
Of all my weak spots,
Aimed only where
It bleeds the most.
You made me a prisoner
Of my own mind,
Chained my soul
And told
I will survive.

No,
I'll fight and fly.
Soon these chains will crumble aside
It may take while
But I believe
I'll thrive.

The destruction you led
Now won't stand still
And this time
You'll be the one falling to your knees.
Mercy, mercy, you'll beg for mercy
Oh, I'm aware
You don't deserve mercy.
