Testo Mercy - Eric Bachmann

Mercy

Kill your idols and your fables
Take your weapons off the table
It’s only mercy now that you need in your world
Lay your burdens on my shoulders
For a while until it’s over
I’m gonna love you like we’re all each other have
Well I’ve got friends and I’ve got family
From Alaska to Miami
You won’t believe the crazy shit they sometimes say
But don’t you dare believe them
When they try to tell you everything
Happens for a reason
Because it doesn’t mean a goddamn thing
There’s chaos in the violence
And it’s so insensitive to claim
When there are those who suffer
Suffer for no reason everyday
I don’t believe in Armageddon
Heaven, hell, or time regretted
I’m gonna love you like we’re all each other have
So take your idols and your fables
Trick your mind, so you’ll be able
To deal with pain and death and loss of those you’ve loved
Yes, I’ve got family, I’ve got friends
And I will love them 'till the end
Despite the batshit crazy things they often say
But don’t you dare believe them
When they try to tell you everything
Happens for a reason
Because it doesn’t mean a goddamn thing
There’s chaos in the violence
And maybe all of this is all you get
So fill your heart with love
And cherish what you can while you are here
But don’t you dare believe them
When they try to tell you everything
Happens for a reason
Because it doesn’t mean a goddamn thing
There’s chaos in the violence
And they’re so insensitive to claim
When there are those who suffer
Suffer for no reason everyday
