Hello, never tried writing a song (or anything else for that matter) but this has been scratching around in my head for the last couple of days. Hope it's okay to post here.
Mercy Valentine. By D.M Daniel
Did our cries so delight you
Did our screams meet the price
Did our tears put on a little show
Did our suffering suffice
Did our obedience amaze you
Did our virtue so impress
Did our sins call out for reckoning
Did our soul’s, for you, undress
Were the sweet shores of misery/ reflected in our eyes
Were the angels all around us/ unaffected by our cries
Were the agonies you gave us/ just pities in disguise
Were the sweet shores of misery/ reflected in our eyes
Were the dreams that you gave us/ just a mercy valentine
Were the years of blood we paid/ just another cup of wine
Were the lies that enslaved us/ just a game, so divine
Were the dreams that you gave us/ just a mercy valentine
We know its what you want to hear
We know it's us to blame
We know we’re here for crying time
We know it’s for our shame
We know our crimes are yours to pay
We know we asked for this
We know its mercy that you give
We know you can’t resist
So give us your depravity/ for our suffering is sweet
Give us blinded angels/ and know we’ll be discreet
Give us gracious violence/ our flesh is to mistreat
Give us all God’s fury/ for our suffering is sweet
Were the dreams that you gave us/ just a mercy valentine
Were the years of blood we paid/ just another cup of wine
Were the lies that enslaved us/ just a game, so divine
Were the dreams that you gave us/ just a mercy valentine
Was our agony like roses
Was your nature to consume
Was the lie just a jealous lie
Was it our fault to think it true
Was this all we ever wanted
Was our nature to obey
Was our purpose to enflame you
Was freedom just a grave
Let our flesh and all it’s treason/ be your to crucify
Let hope and all it’s tyranny/ be yours to petrify
Let blood and all it’s wickedness/ be yours to purify
Let our flesh and all its treason/ be yours to crucify
Were the dreams that you gave us/ just a mercy valentine
Were the years of blood we paid/ just another cup of wine
Were the lies that enslaved us/ just a game, so divine
Were the dreams that you gave us/ just a mercy valentine
Will you ever think about us
Will our sacrifice be true
Will our flames keep you warm at night
Will our children burn here, too.
