Missing Link - Hand Of Mercy

Youth scratched

Witnessing fallen idols

It’s never the one you choose

A death grip on something you don’t own

Explain to me why dues get paid to you

I’ve seen your true face

It’s much more scared than mine

I’ve seen your true face

And others like it that disappear in time

Hypocrites will have their day

Only if we take a stand

United against lines that divide

And the notion of class separation

Perpetrator you rule with an iron fist

Dictating individual experience

A corner stone of what you’d have them believe

Up in flames from the venom and fire you breathe

Save us

Constricting the life force

Take us

Humble beginnings now six feet beneath

Save us

Carry the torch for the jaded

Take us

Hope lies with those who seek your defeat

Coward’s eyes don’t make it hard to find cracks in the veneer

No more treading over broken glass

Time to banish the cycle of fear

Save us, save us

From our skin is aging but these brittle bones are pleading

Take us!

Take us!

We cast the shadow of a broken man as he turns to dust

Perpetrator you rule with an iron fist

Dictating individual experience

A corner stone of what you’d have them believe

Up in flames from the venom and fire you breathe

Youth scratched, witnessing fallen idols

It’s never the one you choose

A death grip on something you don’t own

Explain to me why dues get paid to you
