[Lyric] Mercy Denied (Acranius)

A thousand men now scream upon their knees
Confronted with the cost of spoken lies
With tears they face the queen
They failed to please
As blades reflect
Within the darkness
Of their eyes
Mercy denied

They beg and plead and cry for life in death
To wash away the stains upon their hands
Their words are just the sounds of wasted breath
They drew to make their falling chests expand

Traitors meet the law and crown
In the hall where kings have died
Now with open throats
In blood they drown
Mercy denied
Traitors meet the law and crown
In the hall where kings have died
Now with open throats
In blood they drown
Mercy denied
Scarlet rivers swell and run
Where stronger men have cried
Every echo dies as one
With all mercy denied
Every echo dies as one

They beg and plead
And cry for life in death
To wash away
The stains upon their hands
A thousand men now scream upon their knees
Confronted with the cost of spoken lies
With tears they face the queen
They failed to please
As blades reflect
Within the darkness
Of their eyes
Mercy denied

The corpses rot beyond the kingdom's wall
A turncoat's fate is one the crowns decide

They kill the ones
Who crave to see them fall
With every wish
Of their mercy denied
