Faced with such stern symmetry 
 Weathered skin turned burgundy 
 The most handsome man you ever saw 
 That smirk like sour razor jaw 
    Hold your rose and 
 See the fingers are starting to bend   
 We can move, we can't miss out, no 
 Before we're gone, you've meant the most, I said it all now   
 Faced with such soft tendency 
 Saved a man withdrawn like me 
 Love you more and I'm on my way home 
 Forgot everything I'll ever know   
 Hold your rose in 
 Bitter red buried it like a fact   
 We can move, we can't miss out, no 
 Before we're gone, you meant the most, I said it all now 
 As pure as they come, and I was after the same light you drew 
 It's been too much, and I could never say aloud: That's enough   
 Mercy now, mercy now, blood 
 Mercy now, mercy now, blood 
 Mercy now, mercy now, blood 
 Mercy now, mercy now, blood 
 Mercy now, mercy now, blood 
 Mercy now, mercy now, blood
