The power of hope and grief with logic lodged in between

The action may haunt you, hopeless machinations

Washed at the bank of indecision

Hung in the balance: no remission

We pang against the thought and call it: mercy

Cut from a subjective cloth: killing

Enter the gates, a life in mock: fields

Lives bravely fought on mercy killing fields

A fevered hole I've dug, sanitized prayer rug

Sorrow becomes a drug, sign off and pull the plug

We pang against the thought and call it: mercy

Cut from a subjective cloth: killing

Enter the gates, a life in mock: fields

Lives bravely fought on mercy killing fields

We pang against the thought and call it: mercy

Cut from a subjective cloth: killing

Enter the gates, a life in mock: fields

Lives bravely fought on mercy killing fields

Mercy killing fields

A sobering reminder that we're none the wiser

Almighty hallowed hands embrace mercy killing fields
