[Verse] Once a king of fire A crown of pain Burned the skies Ruled the rain Your blade found my chest I fell in disgrace A demon unmade No trace No face [Prechorus] But mercy's a ghost And it haunts It haunts A shadow that lingers Taunts [Chorus] Throne of ashes Dust on my hands I gave you life Broke your chains Throne of ashes No kingdom stands But mercy Mercy still remains [Verse 2] I saw you fall where the serpents lied Chains on your wrists Your fire denied They sold you for gold They called it the end But I bought your freedom I chose to mend [Prechorus] Mercy’s a dagger It cuts It heals A wound that only time reveals [Chorus] Throne of ashes Dust on my hands I gave you life Broke your chains Throne of ashes No kingdom stands But mercy Mercy still remains
