Lyrics
Mercia
Despite all my forms
In spite of my warmth
I hear whispers of someone else
And their grip is merciless on me
So come and take it from me
You won't
Mercy may fall
Yet this abyss that you've woven is deep
I sharpen my teeth
I couldn't face you alone
I'd sacrifice my life
If my body could melt your ice
But I couldn't face you alone
In death, would I make you see
That your pain ruminates in me?
Is that why you couldn't face it alone?
Ooh, woah
So I sank
To disappear
Despite all your vaults
In spite, they distort
Into sketches of something else
Yet their grip is merciless on me
Please come and take them from me
You won't
Our bound malice will fall into
This abyss that you've woven, so deep
So I sharpen my teeth
Oh!
I could go insane now (now, now, now)
I claim your haven dissolves away
Still I stay enamoured, yet pushed away
If it means I climb up your walls
If I'm to breathe in your spores
I won't lose
How would I lose to you?
But still, I couldn't face you alone
I'd sacrifice my life
If my body could melt your ice
But I couldn't face you alone
Ooh
In death, would I make you see
That your pain ruminates in me?
Is that why I couldn't face you alone?
Oh
How could I face you alone?
When your wraith's torment remains
So I sank
Hidden deep beneath your spectre
I can show you no mercy
Oh!
