Code Orange

Mercy

From I Am King2014

Written by Jami Morgan, Joe Goldman

Lyrics

Mercy

I will find the mercy in you To do the things I have to do I've seen the things I have to see To become the man I need to be So I create a world where I can survive And you wanna talk about repercussions? As the enemy in everyone We cleanse ourselves of everlong

I am finally alive I have swallowed the sun The machine is one With the cog

We are taught to pity and pry from the cradle I will find the mercy in me Kill, kill

Kill

Kill the way I used to think

I am finally alone I am finally alive I am king

Lyrics provided by LRCLIB
