“So mercy, mercy, mercy me

Praying for the death of a man I'll never meet

Though everyone will know the truth they'll still just make believe

Mercy mercy me

That's all they came for, that's all they took

That's all we had to offer, only dirty looks

And when they realized we'd given all we could, that's when they finally understood

Mercy mercy mercy me

Haunted by the memories of things we'll never see

Guilty for the statements that we'll never get to speak

Mercy mercy me

Claim everything they did was always wrong"

And there's nothing we can do but watch it crash”

We believe that we can achieve extraordinary results when we strive for excellence in all we do.”
