King of Mercy Lyrics by Nine Shrines

Misery

2016

[Verse 1]
You better write this down
Refresh your memory
Make no mistake
We are enemies
Demise, don’t try, just die
[Pre-Chorus]
But you betrayed me
You left me hanging
The noose on this tree
Was meant for you and not me
[Chorus]
Think you can run from me
You try to hide but I can see your face
You won’t escape
I won’t forget this
Forgiveness is something you won’t get
I won’t be crowned the fucking king of mercy
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, king of mercy
Oh, king of mercy
[Verse 2]
Go ahead and make this known
Don’t fuck with my life son
If we’re all puppets
Then you cut all my strings down
Demise, don’t try, just lay down and fucking die
[Pre-Chorus]
But you betrayed me
You left me hanging
The noose on this tree
Was meant for you and not me
[Chorus]
Think you can run from me
You try to hide but I can see your face
You won’t escape
I won’t forget this
Forgiveness is something you won’t get
I won’t be crowned the fucking king of mercy
King of mercy
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, king of mercy
Oh, king of mercy
[Bridge]
It’s not pain that leads to suffering
You lit the fire inside of me
Now that I can finally see
You’ve crossed me
Yeah I’ll burn this fucker down
Oh yeah
Yeah, I'll burn this fucker down
[Chorus]
Think you can run from me
You try to hide but I can see your face
You won’t escape
I won’t forget this
Forgiveness is something you won’t get
I won’t be crowned the fucking king of mercy
Think you can run from me (Run from me)
You try to hide but I can see your face (See your face)
You won’t escape
I won’t forget this
Forgiveness is something you won’t get
I won’t be crowned the fucking king of mercy
King of mercy
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, king of mercy
Oh, king of mercy
