Mercy Over Conquest

Verse 1

White breath clouds the frozen peaks

Salt hangs heavy on my skin

Years spent reaping what I sowed

Sifting through the rot of sin

Ravens circled where I trod

Ash was all I ever knew

Found the eyes of starving men

Staring back with nothing new

Pre-Chorus

Broken steel sinks in the tide

Ancient forests watch the shame

Bury every hollow crown

Cast away the cursed name

Chorus

Stand as the shield when the wolves arrive

Turn the storm to a summer wind

Victory lives in the hands that give

Not the pride that the blades rescind

Break the rhythm of the dying breath

Trade the gold for a common heart

Let the peace be the loudest sound

Watching every shadow fall apart

Verse 2

Wolves are hungry for the feast

Hungry for a king to kill

But I trade the mountain throne

For the dirt I used to spill

Strange to see the children run

Past the reach of burning flames

Brotherhood is more than blood

Forgotten now are all my claims

Pre-Chorus

Broken steel sinks in the tide

Ancient forests watch the shame

Bury every hollow crown

Cast away the cursed name

Chorus

Stand as the shield when the wolves arrive

Turn the storm to a summer wind

Victory lives in the hands that give

Not the pride that the blades rescind

Break the rhythm of the dying breath

Trade the gold for a common heart

Let the peace be the loudest sound

Watching every shadow fall apart

Bridge

Northern stars guide the mercy home

Tyrants tremble at a silent sword

Honor grows where the fields are sown

Love is finally our master lord

Guitar Solo

Chorus

Stand as the shield when the wolves arrive

Turn the storm to a summer wind

Victory lives in the hands that give

Not the pride that the blades rescind

Break the rhythm of the dying breath

Trade the gold for a common heart

Let the peace be the loudest sound

Watching every shadow fall apart
