Mercy
Redemption's Echo: Porcelain Hill's Cry for Mercy Amidst Shadows
Lyrics
Father forgive me for I know what I've done
Acknowledging wrongdoing and seeking forgiveness from a higher power.
I rise to the call of the wild like the moon to the western sun
Embracing the wild and uncontrollable aspects of life, akin to the moon's relationship with the sun.
The blood on my hands shows me how to survive
Reflecting on past actions and experiences, symbolized by blood on hands, as a guide for survival.
Living on the edge in the end nobody gets out alive
Living on the edge with the realization that mortality is inevitable for everyone.

Rock and roll sold it's soul, and all we tryna do is save it
Criticizing the compromising of artistic integrity for commercial gain in the rock and roll industry.
This ain't a revival, it's a new revolution
Distinguishing the current situation as not a revival but a new revolution, implying significant change.
Guillotine for the murderous fiends pushing lies and confusion

Tell heaven's gallows that they'll just have to wait
