"Mercia" lyrics

Despite all my forms
In spite of my warmth
I hear whispers of someone else
And their grip is merciless on me
So come and take it from me
You won't

Mercy may fall
Yet this abyss that you've woven is deep
I sharpen my teeth
Just to face you alone

I'd sacrifice my life
If my body could melt your ice
But I couldn't face you alone
In death would I make you see
That your pain ruminates in me
Is that why you couldn't face it alone?

So I sank to disappear
Despite all your vaults
In spite, they distort into sketches of something else
Yet their grip is merciless on me
Please come and take them from me

You won't
Our bound malice will fall into this abyss that you've woven, so deep
So I sharpen my teeth

I claim your haven dissolves away
Still I stay enamoured, yet pushed away
If it means I climb up your walls
If I'm to breathe in your spores
I won't lose

How would I lose to you?
But still, I couldn't face you alone

I'd sacrifice my life
If my body could melt your ice
But I couldn't face you alone
In death would I make you see
That your pain ruminates in me
Is that why I couldn't face you alone

How could I face you alone?
When your wraiths torment remains

So I sank
Hidden deep beneath your spectre
I can show you no mercy
