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'
