lyrics
His name remembered forever a mortal man feared by a nation
His talents legendary, brilliant commander, unstoppable army
Sheath my blade and turn to walk away
Don't forget that I m doing you a favor
Let you live by showing mercy for today
This action goes against my behavior
Your hero your savior
Tactics unmatched, the father of strategy
Led his men to victory countless times
Against impossible odds, the sun will rise
Dawn will come, thousands armed and ready
Their blades reflecting light, as if to say this is the last day
Holding eager, awaiting command, endless sea of soldiers
Parted in the middle, ground is fresh, dew drops on grass
Sheath my blade and turn to walk away
Don't forget that I'm doing you a favor
Let you live by showing mercy for today
His action goes against my behavior
Your hero your savior
To all others known simply as
The destroyer killer of
Thousands victories and hundreds
Lost only once but great, were the casualties
Exiled for years, lead an army through the Alps
With great bizarre beasts
Epic in scale upon enemies he feasts
Gave birth to military, strategies great victories
Hannibal the general, took down the empire of Rome
Refused to be slain by, the hand of any foe
On his hand a ring, contains a poison
If the time should come, he would take his own life
The flesh may be dead, Legacy forever
Count the rings of Romans killed, life extinguished
Sheath my blade and turn and walk away
Don't forget that I m doing you a favor
Let you live by showing mercy for today
This action goes against my behavior
Your hero your savior
Hannibal is son of Carthage.
His talents legendary, brilliant commander, unstoppable army
Sheath my blade and turn to walk away
Don't forget that I m doing you a favor
Let you live by showing mercy for today
This action goes against my behavior
Your hero your savior
Tactics unmatched, the father of strategy
Led his men to victory countless times
Against impossible odds, the sun will rise
Dawn will come, thousands armed and ready
Their blades reflecting light, as if to say this is the last day
Holding eager, awaiting command, endless sea of soldiers
Parted in the middle, ground is fresh, dew drops on grass
Sheath my blade and turn to walk away
Don't forget that I'm doing you a favor
Let you live by showing mercy for today
His action goes against my behavior
Your hero your savior
To all others known simply as
The destroyer killer of
Thousands victories and hundreds
Lost only once but great, were the casualties
Exiled for years, lead an army through the Alps
With great bizarre beasts
Epic in scale upon enemies he feasts
Gave birth to military, strategies great victories
Hannibal the general, took down the empire of Rome
Refused to be slain by, the hand of any foe
On his hand a ring, contains a poison
If the time should come, he would take his own life
The flesh may be dead, Legacy forever
Count the rings of Romans killed, life extinguished
Sheath my blade and turn and walk away
Don't forget that I m doing you a favor
Let you live by showing mercy for today
This action goes against my behavior
Your hero your savior
Hannibal is son of Carthage.

Under A Western Sun
by Son of Aureliussupported by 29 fans who also own “Mercy For Today”
Finally found this album after so many years. I listened to it when it first came out, and almost a decade later it holds up so well. One of THE best albums I have listened to.

My first exposure to Inferi was seeing them live with Shadows of Intent. They were supporting this album. Unbelievably awesome live show and the greatest possible way to discover this amazing band. Love everything they produce.

First WTF was google music actually throwing something good into my feed. Second WTF was everything every goddamn member of this band does. This and the previous album have been on repeat for weeks. All other music tastes like diet water. Help.
