Tides of Man
I Saw Mercy Conquer Hate
[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Lust, greed, fear will leave no room for
Pain, tears, voided by submission
Lust, greed, fear will leave no room for
Pain, tears, eradication

[Verse 2]
Separated by the faults we find in love
Belittled, uninspired
My swollen throat is tired
The soldiers keep on marching
Though it all seems so surreal
Though 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!"

[Chorus]
Lust, greed, fear will leave no room for
Pain, tears, voided by submission
Lust, greed, fear will leave no room for
Pain, tears, eradication

[Bridge]
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)
"Turn the other cheek!"
(A life where none are threatened)
(By evil minds that run askew)
