Die Again Mercy

Lyrics

Verse 1
I kept your knife in my mouth
like a prayer with broken teeth
You taught me how to kneel
then laugh when I could not breathe
I wore your blame like iron
I wore it through the storm
Now every wound you opened
comes back wanting more

Pre-Chorus
Say my name
make it hurt
I came back
to burn your church
No grace left
in these hands
Only fire
under skin

Chorus
Die again for mercy
Die again for love
I choke on your memory
and rise with blood
Die again for mercy
Die again for love
If I have to fall through hell
I’ll fall with you above

Verse 2
Your saints are made of rust now
your halo’s full of flies
I learned your holy language
from the black behind your eyes
You fed me on the hunger
you called it being saved
Now I spit out every promise
like dirt from an open grave

Pre-Chorus
Say my name
make it hurt
I came back
to burn your church
No grace left
in these hands
Only fire
under skin

Chorus
Die again for mercy
Die again for love
I choke on your memory
and rise with blood
Die again for mercy
Die again for love
If I have to fall through hell
I’ll fall with you above

Bridge
Let the walls come down
let the altar crack
I was born in the damage
I don’t go back
Take your heaven
take your light
I made my home
in the fight
In the smoke
in the roar
I am the wound
and the war

Final Chorus
Die again for mercy
Die again for love
I choke on your memory
and rise with blood
Die again for mercy
Die again for love
If I have to fall through hell
I’ll fall with you above

Outro
Again
for mercy
Again
for love
Again
again
I rise from the flood
