The Windswept Mercy Lyrics
Out we go, we've been ruthless
The tears of time, makes it endless
Give me another life
That will grant me with it's solace
Watch it burn...
Watch it burn...
The need for light,
That will guide us
Has gone away,
While we progressed
Tell me now, does it die,
When we turn our heads,
And walk away?
Walk away..
The winds swept all of our mercy
It won't never ever come back
Now the pain we feel is worthy
Watch us carry the final collapse
The final collapse
What can we do?
Ressurrect the ashes?
Can we stick it through?
And forgive ourselves?
Our minds are covered with dust
Our needs are filthy
Our hands are tied but we still see
That we are guilty
So deliver us from broken dreams
Return us from this mental siege
Throw us back in the cradle of time
And heal our desperate ways...
The winds swept all of our mercy
It won't never ever come back
Now the pain we feel is worthy
Watch us carry the final collapse
The final collapse
Out we go...
Out we go...
Go!
Whispers and Lights
What if I chose a path,
Of no return?
What if I gave you the tools,
To ruin my life?
Would you gladly accept,
And steal all my time?
Do I control what is missing,
And where does it end?
Cover my eyes
The wind blows,
Whispers of doom...I'm in tears
Getting a notion...it's time to rise
To rise!
What is the purpose of being?
What makes me alive?
What is it that limits my reach for,
Something outside?
Why do I dream?
Are you trying to tell me what's next?
But there's no use for me
Waiting around 'til it hits
Cover my eyes
Cover my eyes!
The wind blows,
Whispers of doom...I'm in tears
Getting a notion...it's time to rise
The wind blows,
Whispers of doom...I'm in tears
They tell me it's time to rise
I'll face whatever may come
Whispers
Whispers and lights
Whispers
Whispers and lights
All mistakes by missassociation
Lead to the darkest of times
Here I am with a new declaration
It's all mine and it reads,
All out war!
Cramped up soul
Cramped up soul
What if I chose a path,
Of no return?
What if I gave you the tools,
To ruin my life?
Cover my eyes
Cover my eyes!
The wind blows,
Whispers of doom...I'm in tears
Getting a notion...it's time to rise
The wind blows,
Whispers of doom...I'm in tears
They tell me it's time to rise
I'll face whatever may come
The tears of time, makes it endless
Give me another life
That will grant me with it's solace
Watch it burn...
That will guide us
Has gone away,
While we progressed
Tell me now, does it die,
When we turn our heads,
And walk away?
Walk away..
It won't never ever come back
Now the pain we feel is worthy
Watch us carry the final collapse
The final collapse
Ressurrect the ashes?
Can we stick it through?
And forgive ourselves?
Our minds are covered with dust
Our needs are filthy
Our hands are tied but we still see
That we are guilty
So deliver us from broken dreams
Return us from this mental siege
Throw us back in the cradle of time
And heal our desperate ways...
It won't never ever come back
Now the pain we feel is worthy
Watch us carry the final collapse
The final collapse
Out we go...
Go!
Of no return?
What if I gave you the tools,

Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
I think this has a simple interpretation, and it has to do with the erosion of religion and the rise of self-guidance/enlightenment without needing to look up to a higher being to guide us. However without faith we begin to realize it's true value (to fill the void of desperation and awareness of our inevitable end within us).
But when faith is no more, does that mean it ceases to exist when we turn our backs on our those past ideas? Now that we are able to think for ourselves, the stories of religion that teach us mercy, kindness, and forgiveness will fade. Without these concepts in our mind, we are able to feel the pain and consequences of our flawed nature. However, "as we progressed", we are able to carry this burden into the final collapse or end of humanity with self-awareness/serenity. The final part of the song speaks of the inevitability of our end, again acknowledging our flawed human characteristics when speaking about our dirty minds and filthy needs. The last few lines show the true value of our past beliefs as we see the regret of straying from faith and a desire to be taken back to the time when we were guided by a higher power, a time when we were able to overlook the flaws of humanity.
