Mercy’s Corpse

[Verse 1]
I stood on rooftops, wind in my cape
Saved every soul, reshaped their fate
They called me hope, their shining star
While I stitched my wounds in the dark afar
[Pre-Chorus]
Every “thank you” felt thinner each time
They took my mercy, and crossed every line
I gave my blood, they took my name
Now the fire inside me carries no shame
[Chorus 1 – weary]
I was the hero you needed back then
But you drained me dry and called me friend
I’m tired of bleeding for hearts so small
Maybe it’s time I let the whole damn world fall
[Verse 2]
They begged for protection, then spat on my grave
Blamed me for their failures that I couldn’t save
I crushed the villains, they crowned them instead
Fed me their pity and then left me for dead
[Pre-Chorus]
My mask is cracking, my light’s gone cold
What’s left of the good is rotten and old
No more forgiveness, no more disguise
I see their fear reflected in my eyes
[Chorus 2 – bitter]
I was the hero you needed, now see
The monster you made is breaking free
You laughed at my pain, you stole my light
Tonight I trade justice for endless night
You better be ready, you better be scared
This fury is coming fully prepared 
[Bridge]
No cape, no code, no merciful plea
Just power unchained and cruelty
The cities that cheered will choke on the smoke
When the savior they used finally broke
[Chorus 3 – vicious]
I was your hero—now kneel to the dread
I’ll paint every street with the tears you shed
Your gods were a lie, your prayer and your plea
I’ll burn down the world that dared to reject me
[Final Chorus / Outro – apocalyptic]
Bow to the ruin, your reckoning’s here
The hero you broke has nothing to fear
Cities will crumble, skies will turn red
I’ll watch it all die from the throne of the dead
No I will listen as you all scream and shout
Tremble, you insects—your time has run out
The world that betrayed me will break and bend
I was your light… well now I’m your end
