Kneel Down In Mercy

Verse 1 The house is full of borrowed thunder, every chair turned to the noise. Someone’s keeping score in secret, someone sharpens up their voice. Verse 2 By the river, scarred and showing, nothing there was washed away. We just stood with history dripping, watched our pride refuse to pray. Pre-Chorus Before the flood gets in your mouth, before the fist becomes the word, past the point of being right, past the names we throw like swords — Chorus Kneel down in mercy for the wound beneath the war. Kneel down in mercy when revenge is at the door. Kneel down in mercy for the ones who cannot stand. Kneel down in mercy with your heart and empty hands. Verse 3 There’s a crackle in the silence, like a wire about to sing. Every soul is standing barefoot on the edge of suffering. Verse 4 In the room where blame was breathing, in the weight of who was wrong, something deeper kept on calling, something older than the song. Pre-Chorus Before your anger takes the wheel, before the night erases names, where the wounded learn to breathe, grace and sorrow speak the same— Chorus Kneel down in mercy for the wound beneath the war. Kneel down in mercy when revenge is at the door. Kneel down in mercy for the ones who cannot stand. Kneel down in mercy with your heart and empty hands. Bridge By the river, by the ruin, through the ash of all the blame, there is something stronger kneeling than the need to win the name. And the silence, once so certain, starts to tremble, starts to bend; what we could not do with power, mercy opens in the end. Final Chorus Kneel down in mercy till the silence turns to song. Kneel down in mercy when the right to hurt feels strong. Kneel down in mercy where the wounded learn to breathe. Kneel down in mercy for the grace we don’t deserve. Outro Kneel down in mercy, before the damage spreads again. Kneel down in mercy with your heart and empty hands
