Dare Ye Cry Mercy

Press upon your eyelids, lover
Do you know my name?
You called for me in your darkest hour
And in your dreams, I came

What lovely lily is this that lies
Beside you in my stead?
A symphony, a perfect portrait
Two lovers in your bed

Can she hath more desire for you?
Can she caress your heart so true?
Can she raise your voice, your soul into the night?

For I am your moonlit lover
I claim you for me and no other
I will be, I will be
Your last and only breath
Join me for one blissful night
Abandon all thy mortal sight
Breath new life into your...

Step upon the stones now, lover
Join me hand in hand
The sea she sings a cheerful ballad
Come dance here in the sand

Bend, break, bleed in mourning for the
Beauty of your life
You've sung discord in your final hour
So find we now in strife

Strike your bones upon the shore
Ye cry "mercy," I'll give thee more
I will raise your voice
Your soul into the night

For I am your moonlit lover
I claim you for me and no other
I will be, I will be
Your last and only breath
Join me for one blissful night
Abandon all thy mortal sight
Breath new life into your death

O, my love, can you not see
The storm in sooth you've conjured?
Your every ill to me imparted
Brings torture ever longer

Wield ye now your strongest shield
For swiftly shall I rise
Mercy fall not from your tongue
For ne'er I heed your cries

Cry ye for hope, cry ye for death
Cry ye for love, for your last breath
Cry ye for solace, cry ye at all
Crying won't save ye from your fall

Dare ye cry for mercy? Dare ye cry more?
Dare ye cry nothing? Dare ye cry war?
Best ye surrender for it matters none
For the war has been fought and the war has been won
