MERCY ARMS - Lyrics
I CAN SEE COLD MACHINES
WIRES AND TINY PLUGS
TELLING YOU TO BREATHE ON TIME
HELPING YOU HOLD A PULSE
IF I COULD TAKE AWAY
WHAT’S GOT YOU LYING STILL
UNDER THE CHEMICALS
BELIEVE ME I WILL TRY
IF YOU NEEDED ME I’LL BE LIKE
A SENTINEL
I CAN FEEL THE FRUSTRATION
SWIM IN YOUR BLOOD
I CAN SEE YOU’RE STILL HERE
YOUR HEART WON’T GIVE UP
(I’LL KEEP THE RADIO ON)
EVERYDAY BRINGS YOU CLOSER TO THE GRAVE
(I’LL KEEP THE RADIO ON)
NO MORE WAITING FOR LIFE TO SLIP AWAY
(I’LL KEEP THE RADIO ON)
STOP WITH YOUR DELIBERATION
IS THIS YOUR RETURN TO MERCY ARMS?
YOU’RE IN A FIGHT WITH TIME
IT’S PULLING YOU LIMB FROM LIMB
TRYING TO TEST ALL YOU’VE GOT
HOW MUCH YOU WANT TO LIVE
IT SOUNDED LIKE YOU SAID SOMETHING
LIKE “I DON’T WANT TO GO”
THEN FIGHT, SAVE YOURSELF
EVEN THOUGH YOU’RE NOT ALONE
YOU MUST DO THIS ON YOUR OWN
THERE’S NO ONE ELSE
I CAN FEEL THE FRUSTRATION
SWIM IN YOUR BLOOD
I CAN SEE YOU’RE STILL HERE
YOUR HEART WON’T GIVE UP
(I’LL KEEP THE RADIO ON)
(I’LL KEEP THE RADIO ON)
(I’LL KEEP THE RADIO ON)
EVERYDAY BRINGS YOU CLOSER TO THE GRAVE
(I’LL KEEP THE RADIO ON)
NO MORE WAITING FOR LIFE TO SLIP AWAY
(I’LL KEEP THE RADIO ON)
STOP WITH YOUR DELIBERATION
IS THIS YOUR RETURN TO MERCY ARMS?
IS THIS YOUR RETURN TO MERCY ARMS?
THE RETURN TO MERCY ARMS
THE RETURN TO MERCY ARMS
THE RETURN TO MERCY ARMS
THE RETURN TO MERCY ARMS
I’LL WAIT TILL YOU WAKE UP
I’LL WAIT TILL YOU WAKE UP
I’LL WAIT TILL YOU WAKE UP

To everyone...do yourself a favour , go and buy this album,its really incredible,every single track on it.
My mom passed away from covid a few months ago. I remember every moment seeing her over zoom, plugged into every machine imaginable. My family lived off of her numbers and small movements after she was intubated. I knew she wouldn’t be the same without the machines. I knew she wouldn’t want to live relying on something telling her to breathe. It was the single most destructive experience that I think a person could experience. Every time I hear this song I break down. I feel so much compassion for everyone that ever had to go through what I experienced. I’m so glad this band puts together real music...the stuff that drags emotion out of us, because honestly, reliving the emotion is the only way I’ve been able to cope.
So sad to hear your story. May I ask if your mum passed purely because of Covid19 or were there other issues? Also what age was she?
Condolences
So sorry for your loss.
Did she have the vax, just out of interest and all?
@@everythingisalie9609 REALLY MAN? have some respect
Do you even intro?
Then - the heavens open and grace us with the sound that stirs every emotion.sadness, joy, frustration, fear, pure happiness etc...
I actually have no other way of describing this song.
The visuals in the video are also spectacular!
Thank you for this. Words could never explain what this means to me. Keep doing what you guys do best. Perfectly orchestrating emotions with sounds. Love it.
Perfection. Honestly this is the Absolute PERFECT song created thus far. On repeat staring at the night sky
My mum was placed into a coma a few days after this was released and this song resonates with me sooo much.
Putting her IPOD in her ears whilst in a coma for me is a "i keep the radio on" comparison.
Hope everything works out, mate.
Thanks mate she pulled through thank god.
David Clarke That's awesome to hear. Glad it all worked out.
Is she okay
Oh WOW. I hope the band sees this, what a poignant moment x
Soy de Ecuador y me asombra que tengo buenos gustos musicales!!
"I can see you're still here you're heart wont give up." Seriously my life.
Stu so powerful
True Shit this song didn't save my life but I listened to it a lot and one of the hardest times I've ever been in
my absolutely most loved band and music I have ever known, this band is by far the best in modern era to me. Love you guys Gabby Croftsxxx
Sensational. Absolutely loving it Gives me chills.
wow! i .. amm... wow...
I don’t know if I’m smoking it, sniffing it or injecting it but it surely is addictive as dope! You guys don’t know how to make a bad song, you should get a lot more recognition
Sorry so late to the party......but this is a damn great song... cheers mates 🍻🤘😎
Driving tunes to the max 😌
Such the coolest song 😎
I am in awe - you wrote my life....
these guys qill be household names in the future absolute brilliance
Nicole West they already should be. They've released 4 amazing albums before this one.
Also, the singer (Ian Kenny) has another band called Karnivool, which are amazing as well.
They are household names in Australia..... If you don't know BoT then you don't know modern Australian music.
Andrew Ingram mate im a huge fan but bands like grinspoon spiderbait are ect there on the cusp
Grinspoon Spiderbait... flashbacks imminent
Yes,
and if we make sure there is one, and stand up for truth in our daily lives,
No matter how small.
Stunning song, stunning band. 'Nuff said
Thanks
Ones of the most loved bands of my lifetime. Its like you're in sync with my feelings sometimes. Not many bands can do that. Maybe Tool and Cog.
Stu me and you must have the same emotional chems.
Kick ass
This is just such a beautiful song. You're right, Tool does it, Missy Higgins can do it, Amber Run can do it. Beautiful.
@@sniwepog1741 count me in)
And Karnivool! 😉
Fantastico! I love it! Have to get the white vinyl.
E P I C ! ! !
I still have frustration swimming in my blood.
So this shit is too fire. Let me check my pulse.
@lastdinosaurs brought me down this road
Anybody notice that the final riff at 5:43 is the same as Death & Rebirth's song Lotus Eater?
Every morning I wake up, still, and Corn Flakes, milk, and Mr. One/s And Only/s Ian Kenny and the guys. I wish they were closer to home. Cheers from Gothenburg, Sweden, Northern Hemisphere, and add insult to injury, when I accidently had my trochanter pHracture I did 2 of Us every goddam'd day! Cheers again, and don't You doubledare stop!
I sent "Lanterns" to one of my X-g:s, and she liked it. Who knows, maybe You guys will make She and I as a Superglue...
just me or this has similarities to "from the inside" by linkin park? very nice song regardless!
definitely just you
Let's see. I think what reminds you of From the Inside is the synth at the beginning / chrous, though in From the Inside the part is electric guitar and isn't the same timing, as it's 3/4. But to be hones the first 4 chords progression in the verse is the same as New Divide, so an LP fan can sense the spirit very present.
Home and Away brought me here
Amber's Art ďoh
Dammit, and I liked this song...
Was so good until the 'I keep the radio on' backing vox at 2:30.
Went from chills to cringe at the speed of light.
Still a great song but I agree that they should have taken 'I keep the radio on' backing out.
Personally, I like it. "I'll keep the radio on" to me is 2 things. Him saying I'll listen for a news update about how you're going or leaving the radio on as background noise for comfort.
was so good untill i keep the raido on thats so weird anyways still a great song
