~| m e r c y . l a n d |~



A light at the end of a tunnel
Calling for the dwellers in the dark
Their minds don't recognize the call
But they know to go.

Something like thunder shakes
A white-hot core burning like a star
Pulling like a razor wire
Cutting loose the dead parts.

All your prayers must seem as nothing
All your answers spark more questions
Falling down and staying there
Feel the fire blaze below the water sound.

Grasping for cover like a shadow
Fighting the fear inside like cancer
Shine like thunder, cry like rain
Hear my calling, hear my name.

Devil watching over, like a black sea
sweeps the feet of neverlandlady
Black as a crows wing
Dress covers her like a glove.

Still looking for a face behind
Waiting out the endless rain
Screaming for a silence
Scream my name.
