Three years… I felt her before I ever saw her face First time I laid eyes on her She was already lined up on a high-value target Petite frame, steady hands, pure professional ice I broke cover, forced the close-quarters fight Knife came out, steel kissed steel She put a man twice her size on his back Blade slid between my ribs, just missed everything that mattered I knew right then—she was too damn good to miss [Pre-Chorus – rising grit] She could’ve ended me But she chose not to [Chorus – anthemic, heavy] Mercy In a world that doesn’t know the word Mercy From the only one who ever made me feel seen I fell in love with the way she fought With the fire that refused to put me down Mercy And I’ve been chasing that feeling ever since [Verse 2 – more intimate, then bitter] One night she let the war stop We crashed together like two storms finally colliding In her arms I felt whole for the first time Obsession finally made sense Morning light hit an empty bed Six months of silence No intel, no near-misses inches from my skull Just the hollow she left behind [Pre-Chorus – quiet rage building] She gave me a taste of being complete Then ripped it away [Chorus – harder, more aggressive] Mercy In a world that doesn’t know the word Mercy From the only one who ever made me feel seen I fell in love with the way she fought With the fire that refused to put me down Mercy And I’ve been bleeding for it ever since [Bridge – tense, half-spoken into full intensity] Protecting a diplomat when I saw her again Only head and shoulders above the edge Rifle anchored, eye behind the glass Same cold focus I once admired Hurt turned to fire I took the shot Watched her drop Felt the closest thing to closure she’d ever give me [Breakdown – slow, heavy, horrified] I went to confirm the kill Six months along Our child Everything I thought was punishment Was her protecting what we made [Final Chorus – shattered, raw, almost spoken over heavy guitars] Mercy… I finally understand She showed me mercy once And I repaid it with a bullet [Outro – quiet, broken, fading] I kneel beside her One last round for me In a world without her mercy There’s nothing left worth saving
