PolitiSongs - The Power of Mercy Lyrics

Beneath the seal, the pen of justice writes
A power granted, sovereign, bold, and free
Through history's lens, both wrongs and sacred rights
Reveal the weight of clemency's decree

The power of mercy, a double-edged sword
A gift of the law, in the leader's accord
To pardon the lost, or to settle the score
The echoes of justice forever endure

Names that linger, whisper through the years
Confessions bound by blood or loyal ties
A father's heart, a nation's steadfast fears
A fragile trust beneath impartial skies

The power of mercy, a double-edged sword
A gift of the law, in the leader's accord
To pardon the lost, or to settle the score
The echoes of justice forever endure

May not the scales be tilted by the hand
Of kinships called, or by a friend's demand
For mercy lives, where fairness draws its line
And truth unbroken, stands the test of time

The power of mercy, a double-edged sword
A gift of the law, in the leader's accord
To pardon the lost, or to settle the score
The echoes of justice forever endure

May not the scales be tilted by the hand
Of kinships called, or by a friend's demand
For mercy lives, where fairness draws its line
And truth unbroken, stands the test of time

The ink has dried, the judgment now proclaimed
A choice immortal, etched in time and fame
The power of mercy, both to fear and adore
A tale of the heart, forever to explore
