Mercy

I draw lines and mark where the rivers should bend And trace out the roads that I'll never descend A paper ocean, wrinkles and waves Godlike intentions, but frozen in place I chart constellations, connecting the stars A galaxy born, as the ink leaves a mark The compass spins, but I’m stuck on this page Set sail without movement, drifting in place A pen in my hand, and the lines overflow The tides keep on rising, but I’m stuck below Ships passing by, they don’t notice me calling I forget I’m in charge and that I’m the one stalling The horizon stretches, but it never grows near The winds whisper secrets I refuse to hear When one map is finished, I start off anew I’m dreaming up dreams that’ll never come true I paint the shadows where the mountains once stood And sketch every path that I’ll never pursue A paper sky, the colors don’t blend Lacking intention, a goal, or a plan I’ve thought up journeys, a million so far Though I’ve traced every line, there’s no path to embark The ink dries slowly, it never runs out A journey in drawings, but no steps to count A pen in my hand, and the lines overflow The tides keep on rising, but I’m stuck below Ships passing by, they don’t notice me calling I forget I’m in charge and that I’m the one stalling The horizon stretches, but it never grows near The winds whisper secrets I refuse to hear When one map is finished, I start off anew I’m dreaming up dreams that’ll never come true These maps are a prison I created myself I choose to stand still with no story to tell A paper-thin world that easily tares With intricate roads that lead me nowhere A pen in my hand, and the lines overflow The tides keep on rising, but I’m stuck below Ships passing by, they don’t notice me calling I forget I’m in charge and that I’m the one stalling The horizon stretches, but it never grows near The winds whisper secrets I refuse to hear When one map is finished, I start off anew I’m dreaming up dreams that’ll never come true I’m dreaming up dreams that’ll never come true

The world keeps turning even after we’re gone Raindrops will fall, no need for anyone The faster, the better, humanity’s a plague We’re stuck in a loop, and counting the days The sun will still set, the stars burning out Clocks keep on ticking, but there’s nothing to count The future’s a lie, and the past doesn’t care Every step taken, it leads us nowhere Why live a life full of wasted potential Why tell the truth when it’s not what they want Why be a good person when good never works Mercy is met with a blade in return Why stand up for right when wrong is a winner Why bother smiling when everything’s a joke Why dream of the sky when you’re chained to the earth Mercy is met with a blade in return The waves coming in, try to wash us away Tides ever shifting, we simply stay in place The harder we work, the less we achieve We’re fighting for nothing, pretend to believe The streets might stop burning, but the blood never dries Ignoring the carnage, try as we might The future’s a lie, and the past doesn’t care Every step taken, it leads us nowhere Why live a life full of wasted potential Why tell the truth when it’s not what they want Why be a good person when good never works Mercy is met with a blade in return Why stand up for right when wrong is a winner Why bother smiling when everything’s a joke Why dream of the sky when you’re chained to the earth Mercy is met with a blade in return We’re born just to suffer, and die to be free Chasing a purpose that’s never been real This life’s but a cycle, we kill and we rape Still we keep marching, cause nothing’s at stake Why live a life full of wasted potential Why tell the truth when it’s not what they want Why be a good person when good never works Mercy is met with a blade in return Why stand up for right when wrong is a winner Why bother smiling when everything’s a joke Why dream of the sky when you’re chained to the earth Mercy is met with a blade in return Mercy is met with a blade in return

There'll be three heroes tonight asleep Bluebear with courage so deep The Orch of dawn with eyes so bright And the Lord with iron heart's might Reina with red hair dark as the night Bound to a circle where shadows take flight A whisper of secrets in thickened air Three heroes' fate in her fiery glare Reina scream in the wind a farewell song To save the heroes she sacrifice herself A shine in the shadows and her candle turn off But the love win and the evil disappear Bluebeard confronts the shadows with his roar, The heir brings hope through veils once more, The marquis, with sword, defies the years, In Reina's name, they live through our tears Reina's sacrifice echoes in their hearts, Three heroes bear her memory in their parts, For justice, they fight in her name once more, An eternal echo in the stars they swore Reina scream in the wind a farewell song To save the heroes she sacrifice herself A shine in the shadows and her candle turn off But the love win and the evil disappear

Mobil tua jadi kelihatan keren, Dijual murah, tapi garansi belum tentu aman! (Verse 2) “Ini mobil bekas, tapi kayak baru!” Padahal mesin suka batuk, kalau di jalan mendadak ngadu. Abang botak bilang, “Ini mobil idaman,” Padahal pas ngerem, remnya malah jalan pelan-pelan. (Chorus) Abang botak sorum mobil bekas, Kepalanya mulus, gayanya pun keras. Mobil berkilat, harga miring katanya, Tapi di jalan, suka bikin deg-degan juga!

Title: “Backroads and Memories” Verse 1: Driving down these old backroads, Dust kicks up, the wind blows slow. I see the barn where we first kissed, Now it’s just a place that I miss. Chorus: But I still hear your laugh in the summer rain, Feel your hand in mine as we danced through the pain. Though you’re gone, this heart still believes, In the love we shared, and those sweet memories. Verse 2: The porch light flickers like your smile, I close my eyes, drift back for a while. With your blue dress swaying in the moonlight, We promised forever that one July night. Bridge: Time rolls on, seasons fade, But some things in the heart always stay. No matter where I go or where I’ve been, I find myself here, wishing for you again. Chorus: Cause I still hear your laugh in the summer rain, Feel your hand in mine as we danced through the pain. Though you’re gone, this heart still believes, In the love we shared, and those sweet memories. Outro: Driving down these old backroads alone, You’re the one place that still feels like home.

(MALE ) In the cradle of dawn, where the river's song flows, A child sits in her garden, where the marigold grows. Her dreams are like stars, untouched by night, Her laughter like birds, in their innocent flight. Yet the wind whispers tales, of a shadowed fate, A bride in the bud, her childhood's gate. The bindis, the bangles, the red of her veil, Cover the spark that no words can unveil. Why must the bloom be plucked from its stem, Before the morning has whispered to them? Why must the anklet, so heavy and cold, Bind the young feet, before they are old? O Mother, O Father, why hasten the day, When the blossoms of youth are stolen away? Let the river of time in its own course flow, Let the child in her garden, in her innocence, grow. And one day, the world will be hers to embrace, And the shadows of the past, she will then erase. But for now, let her be, in her garden so wild, Let her live, let her breathe, for she is still a child.

I was your northern light, a midnight sun The star you looked up to when you needed someone I was a constant, a beacon, a guide The one thing that lit up your loneliest nights Slowly but surely, I’m fading away The night’s come to claim me, I wish I could stay No longer in orbit, I’ll say my goodbyes Even the brightest of stars have to die You’re a shadow of your shadow, down on your luck Burning up stars, and you don’t give a fuck You’re lost in a void, and I know that you are desperately trying to live in the dark You’ve wasted the light I once gave you for free My energy lost, stolen from me I can’t be the one to guide you no more When you clearly choose to live in the dark I was your shooting star, a hopeful flame The fire that burned bright, the one that kept you safe I was a pillar, a compass, a friend The one thing that saved you, now I’m saving myself Slowly but surely, I slip through the cracks The night’s come to claim me, there’s no turning back No longer in orbit, I’ll say my goodbyes Even the brightest of stars have to die You’re a shadow of your shadow, down on your luck Burning up stars, and you don’t give a fuck You’re lost in a void, and I know that you are desperately trying to live in the dark You’ve wasted the light I once gave you for free My energy lost, stolen from me I can’t be the one to guide you no more When you clearly choose to live in the dark As the sky turns black, and it's hard to breathe I'm not the first star you've burned up, I see You’ve turned from the stars, letting shadows in I’m just another star you’ll forget about again You’re a shadow of your shadow, down on your luck Burning up stars, and you don’t give a fuck You’re lost in a void, and I know that you are desperately trying to live in the dark You’ve wasted the light I once gave you for free My energy lost, stolen from me I can’t be the one to guide you no more When you clearly choose to live in the dark You’re a shadow of your shadow, down on your luck Burning up stars, and you don’t give a fuck You’re lost in a void, and I know that you are desperately trying to live in the dark You’ve wasted the light I once gave you for free My energy lost, stolen from me I can’t be the one to guide you no more When you clearly choose to live in the dark
