Ruthlessness

(Poseidon, Poseidon) (Poseidon, Poseidon) (Poseidon, Poseidon) (Poseidon) Poseidon In all my years of living It isn't very often that I get pissed off Try to chill with the waves But damn, you've crossed a line I've been so gracious And yet, you hurt this son of mine That's right, the Cyclops you made blind Is mine, no I'm left without a choice and without a doubt Guess the pack of wolves is swimming with the shark now I've gotta make you bleed, I need to see you drown But before you go, I need to make you learn how Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves (Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves) Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves Ourselves You are the worst kind of good 'cause you're not even great A Greek who reeks of false righteousness, that's what I hate 'Cause you fight to save lives But won't kill and don't get the job done I mean, you totally could have avoided all this Had you just killed my son, but no You are far too nice, mercy has a price It's the final crack, we're bound to break the ice now You reveal your name, then you let him live Unlike you, I've got no mercy left to give 'cause Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves (Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves) Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves Ourselves And now it is finally time to say goodbye, today you die Unless, of course, you apologize for my son's pain and all his cries Poseidon, we meant no harm, we only hurt him to disarm him We took no pleasure in his pain, we only wanted to escape The line between naïveté and hopefulness is almost invisible So close your heart, the world is dark and ruthlessness is mercy, die Ruthlessness is mercy upon our- (Captain, Captain) Ruthlessness is mercy upon our- (Captain, Captain) Ruthlessness is mercy upon our- (Captain, Captain) Ruthlessness is What have you done? (When does a ripple become a tidal wave?) 43 left under your command (when does man become a monster?) I am your darkest moment The monster that always draws near, remember me
