Acranius - Mercy Denied [Full Album 2022]

Lyrics to Mercy Denied [Full Album 2022] by Acranius

Tracklist: 01. Rule Of Seven Thirst for flesh engulfs his wandered eyes And drapes his morals in the veil of lust The ivory breasts and open, slender thighs In red lights shake as paying clients thrust He covets that which others have worked for And craves to see success of theirs derailed He tempts his jealous violence with an even score To reign supreme as envy has prevailed A hoarder of thе finest things on earth He rapеs the land of every stem and seed Enveloped by the senselessness of worth He chokes upon the coffin of his greed The man consumes the food he did not grow And takes from others who are made to starve The gluttonous pig with fat and tits to show The butchers here to wield their knives and carve The one who lets the hands of others do The one who lets the hands of others do What he himself neglects for selfish gain Then plays the sloth that plagues the lives of who Make up for him and suffer death in vain He prides himself above his fellow men Engulfs his wandered eyes And drapes his morals in the veil of lust The ivory breasts and open, slender thighs In red lights shake as paying clients thrust Clients thrust And so declares to wear the skin of your god 02. Despairbound Winter waits within the stirring skies In clouds that watch the weak and sick below Flake by flake the cold is their demise Encased in ice six feet beneath the snow The breeze becomes a dagger to the skin As every gust berefts the bones of hope The killing walls of judgment day close in As whistling winds become the hangman and the rope The frantic people dress in wools and furs And beg to live to see the blizzard pass Both sheep and wolf despair as winter whirs And turns their eyes to hollow orbs of glass Growing sleet entombs both leaf and limb Winter takes the young ones for its own A child sees his fingers break from him And cries before his shattered corpse alone Despairbound D​esperate to survive the storm S​till they die among the other prey P​reserved and relics made of frozen flesh A​ heart will beat itself to death before I​t feels the melting drops of winter's frost R​elease the skin its bite and kiss both tore B​ut still the soul decays where blood was lost 03. Scour I begged the men to disappear that night I begged them all to leave my girl alone I pleaded on my knees and tried to fight But to the ​judge,​ her fate was set in stone She looked at me in panic as they fled The guards just spat, she was accused of theft They stripped her naked in the streets of dread And beat my girl until her soul had left When dust turned clear The ​guards ​thеn set me free I ran to her and raisеd her twitching head Her emerald eyes still pierced through me Until I knew my little girl was dead My little girl was dead I took her from that wretched place of scorn Through the crowd, within my arms I carried her And dreamt of when her gentle heart was born Once at home, I cleaned and dressed and buried her They never saw the terror in her face They took my girl because they could Day and night I wish to take her place As any other honest father would I once believed the ​gods​ were meant to serve Not some hounds that crave young flesh to take They promised safety that we all deserve And yet the body, mind and soul still break The more I age I feel my time is near And soon, at last, I will join her in rest A decade passed and still I hear The echo of her cracking chest 04. No Dignity She stands upon the steeples stairs While men remove her clothes for those who watch in mobs This place without a soul who cares Applauds the girl as she looks up and sobs She looks up and sobs The tears cascade along her sunless face And fall beside her bare and bleeding feet With every step the pure is torn from grace While people shout and crush her in the street Her skin is torn as bones reduce to dust Her name is lost, replaced by “slut” and “whore” Accused of theft and judged by those who lust And long to wrap the world in chains once more She pays the price for laws she did not break For those in crowns who wish to keep their gold Deprived of virtues the world would take As products of the time that justice sold That justice sold No dignity to cherish No honor to be earned Solidarity will perish No dignity to cherish Solidarity will perish While eyes stay blind and turned Blind and turned 05. Ruthless As centuries pass there lives a horred breed Who lurks within the subconscious of man A fiend who plants its parasitic seed Within the blood of every vein it can It warps the mind with poison to the soul And leaves a man to ruin and forlorn Of everything he knew and could control And only then is he to be reborn With breaking bones contorting as they grow And muscles twisting into foreign shapes A creature spawns with yellow eyes that glow In hunger through the fog of midnight drapes And only then is he to be reborn With breaking bones contorting as they grow And muscles twisting into foreign shapes A creature spawns with yellow eyes that glow In hunger through the fog of midnight drapes Equipped with instincts made to kill, the feast Begins beneath the mournful, scarlet moon The scent of salt and iron thrills the beast As mothers of dismembered sons now plead and croon The snapping jaws have splintered skulls and limbs And leave the strongest men in scattered pieces Within the pools of death the creature swims Until the sun relieves the mortal leases The tortured bones retract once more into The human form they are supposed to be As consciousness returns with thoughts askew The eyes once yellow fade and start to see The ruthless carnage of their heinous breed The ravaged bodies home to ants and flies The consequence of the unholy seed Which plants itself when mercy comes and dies Equipped with instincts made to kill, the feast Begins beneath the mournful, scarlet moon The scent of salt and iron thrills the beast As mothers of dismembered sons now plead and croon Equipped with instincts made to kill 06. Still Unconquered The skies turn red And wolves begin to whine as knights in black arise Upon the hill The winds pour ice with malice in its spine As time itself resorts to standing still The women and their children run inside While foolish men with folly hearts remain The twisted creatures gnash their teeth with pride And march in sync to where the blood will reign The cowards bare their necks And hope their death is quick While those with honor charge with steel in hand The shrieks of men erupt as streams of blood grow thick Still unconquered Still unconquered The severed heads from falling shoulders stare With vacant eyes to see the price of war The women and their children run inside While foolish men with folly hearts remain To see their homes become a grave of mass despair And cease to live forevermore A mother hugs a carcass to her breast despite the war that rages on Despite the war Still unconquered Still unconquered She hears a phantom heart inside the chest And so believes his life is not yet gone "We need to leave before the beasts attack Before they leave us all to rot in heaps" "Please I beg you, wake up, son Come back to me" The skies release their scarlet hue As wolves once more retreat to silence The vicious fiends collect the blood they drew And leave behind a masterpiece of violence The vicious fiends collect the blood they drew And leave behind a masterpiece of violence 07. Mercy Denied 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 08. Crooked Leech The castle stands upon the mountain's peak With snow that dances by its twisted spires The guards​ collect the homeless and the weak And guide them to a house with beds and fires The men sing thanks and praise their ​gentle king For giving them a home as winter swells The guards ​retreat as seven starts to ring And echoes from the chapel's aging bells Within the house the liquor starts to flow Thе nature of men begins to show Whеn they demand a ​royal ​crown and cloak And echoes from the chapel's aging bells Within the house the liquor starts to flow The nature of men begins to show When they demand a ​royal ​crown and cloak Horizons bend as daylight starts to fall And stars once timid glisten in the dark As flames erupt and breathe a bellowed roar The waves of orange engulf the men alive Their boiled blood expels from every pore By order of the​ court​, the leech will not survive The burning screams of dying men decay As all the heat Of their destruction thrives In breaths of ash the embers fly away As ordered by the ​court​ No man within survives Survives 09. Feigned Death The crowing bird of death recites its prayer As serpents slither into ropes around The hands and feet of men who tremble there Upon the stake that burns to ashes in the ground As those possessed ignite the sacred pyre Dancing to the symphony of pain Crescendos rise and fall within the fire As molten bodies turn to human rain To celebrate the cremation of those Who in their eyes had led their lives astray The stirring sea of chanting men now grows Into the hungry ocean of dismay Despite the flames, their fire disappears And frigid silence trickles down their backs A howling wind berates endangered ears, as charred remains Of the deceased repairs its cracks Flesh once melted rises to its bones And seals itself in seamless virgin skin Muscles grow to be as strong as stones As eyes reform and open with a grin Feigned death As molten bodies turn to human rain Feigned death Flesh once melted rises to its bones And seals itself in seamless virgin skin Flesh once melted rises to its bones And seals itself in seamless virgin skin Muscles grow to be as strong as 10. Embittered A broken man who people never crossed Once raised a son and kept a troubled wife He bore a temper that was often lost That cost him more than scarred domestic strife Domestic strife The day was reaching towards a winding close The man and wife were in the house alone When blinding waves of hatred in him rose And breath inside her lungs descent to stone Hе grabbed and pulled and wound her wеathered hair She clawed the hands in which her life was clenched As rattled breath cut through the stifled air With ease he tied the auburn noose and wrenched Her skin turned blue and nose began to bleed Her eyes as red as rubies in the light Her mouth agape with foam, the final plead The man let go and stared at her in spite His hands once strong now trembled at the wrist As anger fled and truth came into view When sadness, guilt and steel entwine they twist Themselves along his throat and perish too A door unlocked and home returned the son To see his parents swallowed by decay Fuck The putrid mess of what the man had done Infects the air Of where the bodies lay The putrid mess of what the man had done Infects the air Of where the bodies lay Embittered by death of all he had The day was reaching towards a winding close The man and wife were in the house alone When blinding waves of hatred in him rose And breath inside her lungs descent to stone
