Unholy Mercy – Gothic Symphonic Metal | Saved To Be Damned

Описание: Unholy Mercy – Gothic Symphonic Metal | Saved To Be Damned

The unintended consequences of grace. When a "holy" act breaks the laws of nature, the result isn't salvation, it's ruin, told through the dueling voices of the sinner and the witness.


LYRICS

Your mercy saved me
but it should’ve killed us both

You stood above me with a righteous flame
A holy verdict waiting on my name
But something broke inside your sacred eyes
A trembling doubt beneath the paradise
You should’ve cast me to the depths below
Left me bleeding where the lost ones go
Instead you reached with trembling hands
A mercy neither light nor darkness understands

You were the sin I couldn’t judge
You were the hand that didn’t budge

Unholy mercy
You gave me grace you had no right to give
Unholy mercy
You broke the law that angels must uphold to live
Now your compassion stains the sky
A sacrifice you can’t deny
Unholy
mercy’s lie

I felt your pity carve a wound so deep
A blessed dagger meant to make me weep
You tried to shield me from the gates of fire
But mercy fed the sin you meant to tire
We crossed a line no faith can rectify
A fragile thread connecting you and I
And now the heavens turn their face away
Your mercy has a price we both must pay

The moment I spared you… sealed my fate
Our fall began that night too late

Unholy mercy
You gave me grace you had no right to give
Unholy mercy
You broke the law that angels must uphold to live
Now your compassion stains the sky
A sacrifice you can’t deny
Unholy
mercy’s lie

If this is mercy
why does it feel like doom
Why does your kindness lead us both to ruin

Mercy… mercy… mercy
It's mercy that as dammed us both

Unholy mercy
You gave me grace you had no right to give
Unholy mercy
The spark that made the heavens finally break and shift
Now your compassion stains the sky
A sacrifice you can’t deny
Unholy
you and I

Your mercy saved me
and doomed us both
