Psalm of the Merciless

[00:33.98] Slow, and with great care
[00:42.86] I descend these jagged steps of quiet despair
[00:51.09] May they lead to pain eternal or inordinate bliss
[00:59.44] There is nothing I could welcome more than eternity's kiss
[01:06.84]
[01:11.92] I have never felt this cold before
[01:20.33] Lost betwixt the rights and wrongs
[01:28.59] Blood drips from a weak and fractured core
[01:37.48] Never to soar
[01:43.05] Mercy escapes my grasp
[01:51.17] Penance, your ask is vast
[01:59.46] Mercy, where have you gone?
[02:08.04] Penance, to sing your psalm
[02:14.04]
[02:20.70] Reaching far into my soul
[02:29.17] Hollowed caverns, ever-deep
[02:37.62] You seek some semblance of control
[02:46.07] Yet there's not a trace, I am a ghost
[02:51.53]
[05:53.94] Standing on the crumbling debris
[05:57.89] Not a sound for miles around
[06:02.01] Look around, what is left from me?
[06:06.55] The ash on the ground
[06:10.42] Life is cold and merciless
[06:14.42] Its song engrained within our hearts
[06:18.66] There is only one regret
[06:22.66] I wish I knew from the start
[06:27.55] Mercy escapes my grasp
[06:36.01] Penance, your ask is vast
[06:44.47] Mercy, where have you gone?
[06:52.73] Penance, to sing your psalm
[06:59.40]
