When Mercy Strikes
October 28, 2011
When mercy strikes the cannons play
the soldiers dance to the parade
they walk on by the silent men
the silent eyes the knowing grins
rescue me from the despair
cover me from what’s up there
hide me deep inside your nights
save me from when mercy strikes
doors open into cages
releasing human forms and chains
tied down to what we’re facing
dragged down to their dreams
