A thousand men now scream upon their knees

Confronted with the cost of spoken lies

With tears they face the queen

They failed to please

As blades reflect

Within the darkness

Of their eyes

Mercy denied

They beg and plead and cry for life in death

To wash away the stains upon their hands

Their words are just the sounds of wasted breath

They drew to make their falling chests expand

Traitors meet the law and crown

In the hall where kings have died

Now with open throats

In blood they drown

Mercy denied

Traitors meet the law and crown

In the hall where kings have died

Now with open throats

In blood they drown

Mercy denied

Scarlet rivers swell and run

Where stronger men have cried

Every echo dies as one

With all mercy denied

Every echo dies as one

They beg and plead

And cry for life in death

To wash away

The stains upon their hands

A thousand men now scream upon their knees

Confronted with the cost of spoken lies

With tears they face the queen

They failed to please

As blades reflect

Within the darkness

Of their eyes

Mercy denied

The corpses rot beyond the kingdom's wall

A turncoat's fate is one the crowns decide

They kill the ones

Who crave to see them fall

With every wish

Of their mercy denied
