Pontifex - No Mercy [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
Something wicked this way comes
My mind won't calm as I hear these drums
Watching from the tower tonight
Something in the world just don't feel right
Drunk on arrogance and pride
Wear a thin disguise, With dim lit eyes
What do we live for? What makes the soul soar?
Doesn't anyone fear God anymore?
Rip and tear at each other and think there's no cost
Gain an empire but the soul is so lost
Steal a throne and wear a crown you can't claim
Freely given to the poor who know his sweet name
Ignore the symphony, the static consumes
Live like animals and dwell in dark rooms
They way doesn't sway with the trends
Alpha and omega, beginning and the end my friends

[Hook]
Where the red fern grows, to the rest I know
Dark wanna spread death into the best live shows
Hungry still feeding on survival
Evil lives criminal minded to 5 -0
Where the head turns slow to the rest I know
Dark wanna spread death into the best live shows
And when it stops and the earth breathes
Then it's finished, no mercy

[Verse 2]
Close our eyes and close our ears
Ignore what's here and hope it disappears
But it's relentless seeps in every fiber
Blood in the ohio blood in the Tiber
Stained on the hands and it won't wash off
Sear the conscience continue to scoff
They say he doesn't see, choose pleasure's misery
Chains keep clanging but they claim to be free
Where does it end? Time doesn't stop
The second hand moves on a dead man's watch
(x4) I'm just looking for a heart beat

[Hook]

[Bridge]

If we don't turn to God, who do we turn to?
Power and riches become the new virtues
Embrace a survival of the fittest mentality
Lose sight of God, lose sight of reality
And I just wanna look out tonight
And see if anybody shines with the light
Make my way, to see what I see
Looking for a person with a heart full of mercy

[Hook]
(last line: And when it stops and the earth bleeds, lord have mercy)
