[ voice how Tom waits]
[Verse 1]
I walked through fire just to see the truth,
Every shadow tried to steal my youth.
Broken promises, poison words,
But the silence speaks louder than I’ve heard.
They built their kingdoms on a bed of ash,
Sold their stories, traded souls for cash.
But the cracks are bleeding, the walls give way,
And the light burns stronger every day.
---
[Pre-Chorus]
No more whispers, no more disguise,
I see the fire in your eyes.
---
[Chorus]
No mercy for lies, no shelter for thieves,
I’ll tear down the mask, let the world believe.
No mercy for lies, no shadows survive,
Truth is a blade, it’s keeping me alive.
I’ve been broken, but I will rise,
There’s no mercy, no mercy for lies.
---
[Verse 2]
I’ve heard the preachers with their silver tongues,
Selling heaven while they load their guns.
But the spirit knows what the body hides,
Every false word’s just another knife.
And I’m bleeding rivers, I’m bleeding fire,
But my soul won’t bow, won’t call them higher.
Every scar’s a weapon, a battle cry,
I’ll carry truth until I die.
---
[Pre-Chorus]
No more whispers, no more disguise,
I see the fire in your eyes.
---
[Chorus]
No mercy for lies, no shelter for thieves,
I’ll tear down the mask, let the world believe.
No mercy for lies, no shadows survive,
Truth is a blade, it’s keeping me alive.
I’ve been broken, but I will rise,
There’s no mercy, no mercy for lies.
---
[Bridge – düster, mit Chor im Hintergrund]
Every sinner, every crown,
Every empire’s falling down.
From the ashes, truth will rise,
There’s no mercy for the lies.
---
[Final Chorus – mit voller Wucht]
No mercy for lies, no shelter for thieves,
I’ll tear down the mask, let the world believe.
No mercy for lies, no shadows survive,
Truth is a blade, it’s keeping me alive.
I’ve been broken, but I will rise,
There’s no mercy, no mercy for lies.
