MERCY 024 – Weather House Warning | The Mercy

(Verse 1) The Weather House read pressure through a cracked and silvered glass, And marked the river rising from the signals drifting past. They traced the frost through field reports and smoke across the wire, Then wrote that flood would follow cold and cold would follow fire. (Verse 2) The regional ruler entered with his harvest guards at night, And warned that full evacuation would make his borders light. He asked them dull the wording, leave the danger half unseen, So grain could reach the storehouse and his banners still look clean. (Chorus) Sound the Weather House warning, write the doubt beside the rain, For silence kills the trusting and a false alarm leaves stain. No forecast speaks with certainty, no ruler owns the sky, But truth must name the danger before frightened people die. (Verse 3) The forecasters compared the books with voices from afar, And found the same cold pressure beneath each failing star. They published every margin, every weakness in the chart, For honest doubt was stronger than a confident false heart. (Verse 4) The harvest crews began to move before the river broke, While hill towns cleared their fire roads beneath the gathering smoke. Some cursed the warning after when the worst of frost passed by, But hidden storms kill faith more sure than forecasts drawn awry. (Chorus) Sound the Weather House warning, write the doubt beside the rain, For silence kills the trusting and a false alarm leaves stain. No forecast speaks with certainty, no ruler owns the sky, But truth must name the danger before frightened people die. (Bridge) A House earns trust by naming every limit it has known, Not dressing fear as certainty or claiming clouds its own. The ruler wanted quiet, but the instruments replied, That power cannot bargain with the weather building wide. (Outro) So still the patched instruments watch the pressure climb and fall, While handwritten reports arrive through every distant call. The Weather House keeps warning though each forecast bears a scar, For truth is not the promise that the danger stays afar.
