Album: Killing The World (1989)

Screamin' For Mercy


A scream breaks the still of the night
The time has now come
No time for talk or for change
The damage is done
Try as they might to deceive
The knew it would fall
The ones that we trusted
They lied to us all

Screamin' for mercy, screamin' for mercy, screamin'
Screamin' for mercy, screamin' for mercy, screamin'

Rulers of nations
See the world's in decline
Time for the leveler, the reaper
Who now will preside
It isn't for me or for you
The ones to decide
What man has the right to dictate
The fate of mankind

Screamin' for mercy, screamin' for mercy, screamin'
Screamin' for mercy, screamin' for mercy, screamin'

Death, persecution, unholy retribution
We hide from the future, we search to the past
For some kind of answer
To the scene that is cast

This unstoppable force
This relentless remorse
What is the solution
To this mad mad world
Total autonomy
Is the way for me

Why must it be
How long before we see
The futility of it all
The hammer will fall
Screamin'

Darkness descends
No more shall the sun ever shine
Intense searing heat
Winds strip the earth of it's life
Now we're all gone
It's time for you to arrive
To make a brave new world
A divine afterlife

Screamin' for mercy, screamin' for mercy, screamin'
Screamin' for mercy, screamin' for mercy, screamin'
Screamin'
