MERCY 009 – Greenhaven Water Law | The Mercy

Thrash Metal, Southern Rock, High Energy, Heavy

(Verse 2)
The Yard Assembly gathered where the iron shadows crossed,
And counted what the filters saved, and what the winter cost.
The Rail Custody held engines, tools, and keys beneath the floor,
While Name Vault bells remembered who could not return no more.

(Chorus)
Greenhaven turned the water into labour, oath, and law,
Where the gears kept grinding onward through the hunger that they saw.
A repaired pump gave mercy, but it tightened every chain,
And power flowed through clean pipes with the sound of coming rain.

(Verse 3)
No hand could claim the shoreline without intake work to show,
No house could draw the lake unless its children learned the flow.
They marked the public failures on a board of soot and slate,
Yet those who knew the valves could make the thirsty stand and wait.

(Verse 4)
The apprentices were promised they could leave when debts were paid,
But every broken bearing made another contract made.
The town survived by order, yet the order hardened still,
And every turning flywheel taught the council whose was will.

(Bridge)
They knew a town without the filters would be fever, ash, and thirst,
And knew a gate of experts could become a ruling first.
So witness watched the Custody, and ledgers watched the flow,
While steel rooms hummed like judgement in the levels down below.

(Outro)
Now Greenhaven keeps breathing where the drowned towers lean,
With lake light on the gantries and the filter water clean.
They bless the hands that mend it, yet they question what they saw,
When need becomes a kingdom, and the pump becomes the law.

(Verse 1) They built on lake intakes where the rusted rail lines cried, And raised their lower markets where the old blocks kept them tied. The sand beds took the sickness from the water drawn below, While every pump they mended made another duty grow. (Verse 2) The Yard Assembly gathered where the iron shadows crossed, And counted what the filters saved, and what the winter cost. The Rail Custody held engines, tools, and keys beneath the floor, While Name Vault bells remembered who could not return no more.

A repaired pump gave mercy, but it tightened every chain, And power flowed through clean pipes with the sound of coming rain.
