Here's the lyrics if anyone needs them! There’s a dead canary in the coal mine And a lamb’s head growing from a grapevine There’s an old man laughing in the backyard Catching crooks and crickets in the bell jar I’ve been waiting for my woman to relieve me But she’s outside climbing on the oak tree There’s a dead canary in the coal mine And a lamb’s head growing from a grapevine Growing from a grapevine Yea-ah, it’s getting biblical now (wo-oah) You better pick your weapons up And throw your mercy down Yea-ah, it’s getting mythical now (wo-oah) You better pick your weapons up And throw your mercy, throw your mercy down Throw your mercy down There’s a mad-man tapping at the window With a pocket full of innuendo There’s a joker poking at the doorbell And a sparrow drowning in the inkwell I’ve been waiting for my lover to relieve me But they’re outside swinging from the oak tree Swinging from the oak tree Yeah, it’s getting biblical now (wo-oah) You better pick your weapons up And throw your mercy down Yeah, it’s getting mythical now (wo-oah) You better pick your weapons up And throw your mercy, throw your mercy down There’s a tyrant on the throne And a clown on every screen Compelling us to stay at home In this low-grade fever dream But we’re gathering our strength We’re becoming less afraid That there’s hope for us in This unholy mess we’ve made Hey! It’s getting biblical now (wo-oah) You better pick your weapons up And throw your mercy down Yeah, it’s getting mythical now (wo-oah) You better pick your weapons up And throw your mercy, throw your mercy down It’s getting biblical now (wo-oah) You better pick your weapons up And throw your mercy down Yeah, it’s getting mythical now (wo-oah) You better pick your weapons up And throw your mercy, throw your mercy down Throw your mercy down
Gotta say besides being obsessed with the vibes of this song I’m also so in love with how in the second verse he says “lover” and uses and gender non specific pronoun in there. It’s really such a small thing but it’s the icokg on top of an already beautifully decorated cake.
it is a pity that all the best music is only discovered on accident. I found you completely by random Mr. James, , and I am now in love with your work.
I am not sure if "Compelling us to stay at home" line aged extremely poorly or extremely well. Regardless, just wanted to thank you for your wonderful music. As most people here found you randomly in my suggestions several months ago and since then your music takes up easily 80% of all my playlists and I already annoyed everyone with suggestions to listen to you. You opened my eyes to the very tiny and specific genre of music that I didn't even know about and for that I can't thank you enough. I hope the entire situation we all are stuck in right now doesn't inconvenience you much and I sincerely wish you all the best.
Like an ear bug, I find myself singing the hook to myself when I am doing other things. Put it on a couple playlists and about the time I get it out of my head, it pops up again. Its just too good to remove!
I don't know how you do it, but I never get tired of your music. Even if I listen to one song too much, by the time I'm tired of a different song I love the first again. Your music is magical and I love it
lyrics :D There's a dead canary in the coal mine And a lamb's head growing from a grapevine There's an old man laughing in the backyard Catching crooks and crickets in the bell jar I've been waiting for my woman to relieve me But she's outside climbing on the oak tree There's a dead canary in the coal mine And a lamb's head growing from a grapevine Growing from a grapevine Hey, it's getting biblical now (oh, oh) You better pick your weapons up and throw your mercy down Hey, it's getting mythical now (oh, oh) You better pick your weapons up And throw your mercy Throw your mercy down Throw your mercy down There's a madman tapping at the window With a pocket full of innuendo There's a joker poking at the doorbell And a sparrow drowning in the inkwell I've been waiting for my lover to relieve me But they're outside swinging from the oak tree Swinging from the oak tree Hey, it's getting biblical now (oh, oh) You better pick your weapons up and throw your mercy down Hey, it's getting mythical now (oh, oh) You better pick your weapons up And throw your mercy Throw your mercy down There's a tyrant on the throne And a clown on every screen Compelling us to stay at home In this low-grade fear between But we're gathering our strength We're becoming less afraid There is hope for us in this Unholy mess we've made Hey, it's getting biblical now (oh, oh) You better pick your weapons up and throw your mercy down Hey, it's getting mythical now (oh, oh) You better pick your weapons up And throw your mercy Throw your mercy down It's getting biblical now (oh, oh) You better pick your weapons up and throw your mercy down Hey, it's getting mythical now (oh, oh) You better pick your weapons up And throw your mercy Throw your mercy down Throw your mercy down
So I heard a D&D youtuber (Davvy Chappy) talk about this channel so I looked you up and I gotta say this music is underrated as hell. you need to be way more well known. I'm gonna show you to all of my friends.
I'm far not the only one to think the song is absolutely great but also kudos to the videomakers! The imaginary fits the song with perfection and is very stylish on itself. I wish your songs were more popular though! A shame it's only now that I stumbled across your channel.
Currently going through and adding your songs to my "Happy moosic" and "Singing" playlists, rediscovering songs I loved listening to years back has been fun, thanks for all the wonderful songs ❤
this has the mood, I cant explain it but this is part of a very specific and elusive mood. what I want to say with this is: this is really amazing music!!!
Honestly, I discovered this song much later (From your short on it). But the "compelling us to stay at home" line now has, another edge to it. Also I love the switch of pronous, it's touching. Thank you Shayfer James for this and so many other amazing works of art.
Recently found your music, and by god did this music video make me tear up. Love the passion you put into your music and productions. My absolute favorite moment was at 3:00, where the chorus, "you better pick your weapons up" is paired with the image of someone holding a sapling. Absolutely inspiring to portray planting and nurturing life as a weapon, as a tool of resistance. Thank you for making great music that has been accompanying me on my walks to class these past weeks.
Jesus christ I was at home just letting youtube choose my music an then this popped on and I have not heard such a BOP in years, it's criminal this isn't better known, good luck with whatever you are doing and thank you for making isolation more bearable
I finally got to see this man live at the 9:30 club, fricking amazing performance, vocals are even better in person. couldn't get the songs out of my head. Loved it!!
this man is still replying to comments on a song he made 4yrs ago absolute mad-lad, my hat off to you good sir. also, hi Shayfer. song and video are both amazing! (sorry for all the rambling)
i love that shayfer james was my most listened to artist of 2021 and i was in their top percentage of listeners. lovely music, always inspires fantastical moods in me!
Absolutely amazing. Spotify introduced me to your music about a week ago and I fell in love and binged all your songs in the span of a few days. You have such a way with words and music that your pieces just fall together in a perfect symphony of emotion.
I've only been listening to your music for a few months and i just want to say: your music is just so amazing omg between the amazing and ever-relevant political commentary and the exquisite lyricism across every single one of your albums, you've quickly became one of my top favorite artists! it's all very villain-y and i love it, it's exactly what i look for in music and you have captured it perfectly keep it up, Shay!!! 🖤🖤🖤
oh my god. a friend of mine introduced me into your music, wish she had done that before. I've missed a whole world. now I'm listening to all of your songs since I love your music your music is truly amazing! and you're talented as hell. I'm hooked.
My spotify discover weekly thing just hit me with this a day ago. I love it SO MUCH. Amazing song, it will appear on my "on frequent repeat" section no doubt.
One of my Top 5 from you, after finding your stuff last year-ish! For The Departed was the saviour of my grades during tests and stuff lol. Am obsessed eith your vibe and cant wait to listen to everything ❤️
So damn good! I found your channel by accident when looking for some sad and dark music, to be exact I found Battle Cry. Because of that song I got hooked up on your music and I'm yet to be disappointed ;D
Came to see if there was a video for any of your newest release, stayed to watch this for the billionth time. And now I'll leave just as in love with your art as I was the first time I heard it
RUclips recommendations really hit the mark this time. I've been going through every song and have yet to find any I don't like. Where has Shayfer James been all my life?!
Dude I just have to tell that I have fallen head over heels for your stuff recently. Your music makes me feel powerful, like I can take on any challenge and come out on top. I've yet to hear a song I dislike. Thank you for doing what you do.
I cannot express how much I adore you and your music. I have never been able to choose a favorite artist in my whole life, until I discovered you on Spotify- I have most every song of yours in my main playlist, and asked for one of your sweatshirts as my birthday present. Please never stop what you’re doing, you iconic villain!
Wait you still come back to this video to read new comments? And I thought I couldn’t love you anymore. You’re literally so real and cool and awesome and amazing for that
I love your music so much!!!! Everytime that I try to catch only one quote from your lyrics I end up very confused about which one I'm going to use... It's genius, beautiful, majestic... I've never seen this kind of art before. I'm always showing your work to my friends and each one of them that I showed, loved it. I was used to sing Weight of the world with my friend almost every single day at school... Good times :). It's the first time I'm watching the video for Mercy Down. The message is amazing. So clear, there is nothing between the lines... It is so explicit. This is what we need. Thank you for you amazing work! Your voice is so beautiful ❤️ (Sorry if there is any mistakes, English is not my native language, but I think you can understand it hahahah)
Your English is perfect and this comment is so beautiful. I’m so glad the song and video speak to you. Words are my favorite part of song-making, so it’s amazing to have them appreciated in the way that you have here too. Thank you 🖤
Found you like a week ago and I love it. "There's a tyrant on the throne And a clown on every screen Compelling us to stay at home" you didn't know in advanced how the Corona pandemic would play out, did you?
Ha! I did not know...at least I don’t think I did.... 🤔 , but you aren’t the first person to ask me this. I suppose prescient given the stare of things! I’m SO very glad you found me. Welcome.
I've been listening to this on repeat before and after work. It's been so incredible. The range of this man's voice omg ;u; I love how it just goes up and down and it's so clear that I don't need a lyric video to understand what he's singing. Love this song. It's got a cheerful/catchy tune, but the lyrics are quite dark. I love it!
Can we take a moment appreciate the fact that this gorgeous musician took the time to like and respond to nearly every comment for this video?
Why thank you for noticing ;) 🖤❤️
Here's the lyrics if anyone needs them!
There’s a dead canary in the coal mine
And a lamb’s head growing from a grapevine
There’s an old man laughing in the backyard
Catching crooks and crickets in the bell jar
I’ve been waiting for my woman to relieve me
But she’s outside climbing on the oak tree
There’s a dead canary in the coal mine
And a lamb’s head growing from a grapevine
Growing from a grapevine
Yea-ah, it’s getting biblical now
(wo-oah)
You better pick your weapons up
And throw your mercy down
Yea-ah, it’s getting mythical now
(wo-oah)
You better pick your weapons up
And throw your mercy, throw your mercy down
Throw your mercy down
There’s a mad-man tapping at the window
With a pocket full of innuendo
There’s a joker poking at the doorbell
And a sparrow drowning in the inkwell
I’ve been waiting for my lover to relieve me
But they’re outside swinging from the oak tree
Swinging from the oak tree
Yeah, it’s getting biblical now
(wo-oah)
You better pick your weapons up
And throw your mercy down
Yeah, it’s getting mythical now
(wo-oah)
You better pick your weapons up
And throw your mercy, throw your mercy down
There’s a tyrant on the throne
And a clown on every screen
Compelling us to stay at home
In this low-grade fever dream
But we’re gathering our strength
We’re becoming less afraid
That there’s hope for us in
This unholy mess we’ve made
Hey! It’s getting biblical now
(wo-oah)
You better pick your weapons up
And throw your mercy down
Yeah, it’s getting mythical now
(wo-oah)
You better pick your weapons up
And throw your mercy, throw your mercy down
It’s getting biblical now
(wo-oah)
You better pick your weapons up
And throw your mercy down
Yeah, it’s getting mythical now
(wo-oah)
You better pick your weapons up
And throw your mercy, throw your mercy down
Throw your mercy down
Nice
this song is actually just me thinking about how gay and evil i am converted into audio form
🥰🥰🥰🥰 perfect
This is the kind of music that Dorian Gray listens to
Nice
@@nikkospelledlikethat8140 yes
Gotta say besides being obsessed with the vibes of this song I’m also so in love with how in the second verse he says “lover” and uses and gender non specific pronoun in there. It’s really such a small thing but it’s the icokg on top of an already beautifully decorated cake.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
I've been searching for music with the flavour of a gentlemen villan for a long time, and your music is exactly what i had been looking for thank you!
This makes me very very happy
Underated artists like this make me feel my taste is elite.

it is a pity that all the best music is only discovered on accident. I found you completely by random Mr. James, , and I am now in love with your work.
happy accidents 🖤
I am not sure if "Compelling us to stay at home" line aged extremely poorly or extremely well. Regardless, just wanted to thank you for your wonderful music. As most people here found you randomly in my suggestions several months ago and since then your music takes up easily 80% of all my playlists and I already annoyed everyone with suggestions to listen to you.

Thank you my friend! And thank you for sharing the music far and wide!!! Means the world
@@ShayferJames My please!
Like an ear bug, I find myself singing the hook to myself when I am doing other things. Put it on a couple playlists and about the time I get it out of my head, it pops up again. Its just too good to remove!
James goth steampunk king
💀👑
It’s almost heartbreaking to see you only have ten thousand subscribers when you make such great and talented music
Why thank you. Good news is that it was 4K a few months ago. Keep spreading the word 🖤
I don't know how you do it, but I never get tired of your music. Even if I listen to one song too much, by the time I'm tired of a different song I love the first again. Your music is magical and I love it
Thank you my friend ✨✨
I don't know how you manage to make lawful evil into music but also make it so damn good?? seriously all your songs are amazing!
Thank youuu 🖤

Amazing! Yes please spread the word!!
I came here for the same reason! Glad to see others had the same response!
Amazing!
Funny, our epic DM recommended me a lot of songs from Shayfer James, wonder if thats where he found him :D
This song came out about a year too early, it's downright prophetic in 2020.
Whoda thunk?!
this feels like stumbling into a magical forest; i don't know where i am, or what's happening, but i'm happy to be here!!
Welcome to my brain new friend.
U give off “I’m a villain but a respectful one” vibes
One must always maintain their classiness.
The audio and visuals are phenomenal.
Thank you friend 🖤🖤
the only artist and or song i will be listening to when i write my next dramatic over-detailed love story
Yessss
I am baffled by how many bangers you release
😁✨🙏
I'm far not the only one to think the song is absolutely great but also kudos to the videomakers! The imaginary fits the song with perfection and is very stylish on itself.
I wish your songs were more popular though! A shame it's only now that I stumbled across your channel.

Currently going through and adding your songs to my "Happy moosic" and "Singing" playlists, rediscovering songs I loved listening to years back has been fun, thanks for all the wonderful songs ❤
🙏🙏
I love the way that biblical and mythical are sung, the triplets are just perfect
Love me some triplets ✨🖤✨
Wow this song is just amazing
Best part is seeing James in the comments giving some love to the community
🖤🖤🖤
Thank you. How could I not?! Y’all are so damn lovely all the time :)
this has the mood, I cant explain it but this is part of a very specific and elusive mood.
what I want to say with this is: this is really amazing music!!!
Thank you friend! ✨🖤💀
This music video has an incredibly cryptic aesthetic and I'm in love with it.
It loves you right back ;)
Hi i came from villainous thing..Your music is really good,you're underrated man...
Thank you new friend :)
It’s insane how underrated you are. Your music is really awesome man
Thank you new friend! 🖤
Honestly, I discovered this song much later (From your short on it). But the "compelling us to stay at home" line now has, another edge to it.
Also I love the switch of pronous, it's touching. Thank you Shayfer James for this and so many other amazing works of art.
Thank YOU 🙏
If I ever come to America I will buy a hundred tickets to your tour - Love from the U.K.
Thank you so so much! Perhaps I’ll make it your way before then :)
I love how authentic you are, your voice and how you look match perfectly. Amazing :D
Thank you friend 🖤🖤
It’s a crime that I never have found this song until now. Seriously one of my favorite musicians of all time
🙏 glad you found it!
The way he says everything, in those first 30 seconds is just,,,,
So nice.

Thank you for this kind message. So glad you dig it ;)
Literally discovered you through someone doing one of your songs for a theater lip sync project. And now I’m in love. Stay awesome.
So glad you found me. New music coming soon!
I found you through “for the departed” and was absolutely hooked. Every song I find by you is an absolute bop. I love your music so much
Why thank you my friend. I appreciate it so much

absolute mad-lad, my hat off to you good sir. also, hi Shayfer. song and video are both amazing! (sorry for all the rambling)
Rude not to reply :)
And thank you!
The music created by Shayfer is just delightful in a dark manor you don't see too often! I'm loving this entire rabbit hole I'm going through.
Thank you so so much! 🖤🖤🖤
I can do nothing but thank Spotify's mythical algorithms for placing this gem of a song in a radio. Damn it's good
I must thank the mythic creature as well. Welcome to my world.
HOW HAVE I NOT HEARD THIS SONG BEFORE??? HELP ITS SO GOOD-
This is about to inspire me to write more villains you don’t even understand
I fully support ths
How does this guy only have like 1000 subscribers he needs more
I absolutely agree
I am very glad I discovered this wonderful musician. As one who adores the dark and gothic, Shayfer James is right up my alley.
I’m so glad you discovered me too ;) have a beautiful day!
@@ShayferJames Why thank you!
I love how the message is so unclear yet very clear through scattered images and lyrics.

i love that shayfer james was my most listened to artist of 2021 and i was in their top percentage of listeners. lovely music, always inspires fantastical moods in me!
I love that too! ✨🖤
Same
This definitely hits differently in 2020...damn.
For both of us my friend, for both of us
Needed this today, thank you for the apparently occasionally prophetic but always fantastic music.
Sometimes I’m right. Mostly I’m wrong. Always I’m happy to be creating. And I’m so so glad you enjoy.
have no clue what it is about these songs but they're so addictive, incredible songs.
Ghost in the machine ✨👻⚙️

between the amazing and ever-relevant political commentary and the exquisite lyricism across every single one of your albums, you've quickly became one of my top favorite artists!
it's all very villain-y and i love it, it's exactly what i look for in music and you have captured it perfectly

This is very true. The best community ✨🖤

So happy you found me! New music coming soon!
Gonna be honest, ever since my best friend recommended your music, I haven't stopped sending it to everyone who lets me. This stuff's great!
Thank you!! More soon!!
Found this in my spotify recommendations & I love it
This pleases me very, very much.
Bro i love how this song sounds super smooth and fun!
Many thanks friend :)
Came to see if there was a video for any of your newest release, stayed to watch this for the billionth time. And now I'll leave just as in love with your art as I was the first time I heard it
🖤🖤🖤🖤
The White House on screen as “tyrant on the throne” plays is SO good
Thanks for noticing :)
I agree :)
Not sure if it was ment to be political or symbolic but was a nice touch
Now, I think THIS is my favorite of your songs. All of this album is fantastic, and all of the others in americanachronism too!!!
Thank you friend!
I've never seen an artist with some many equally great songs!
Love from South America
Thank you my friend! Sending love right back to South America! 😍
I found your music a few weeks ago, and it's helped me a lot to get through. Thank you for producing these quality songs!
So glad you found it it and it’s helped a bit. Welcome to my world :)
RUclips recommendations really hit the mark this time. I've been going through every song and have yet to find any I don't like. Where has Shayfer James been all my life?!
There’s a time for everything :) welcome to my world. So glad you enjoy!!
@@ShayferJames Oh wow, I didn't expect you to reply. I'll just be over here geeking out like a...mature and dignified human being.

Glad to see you still making great music, it's criminal that more people aren't hearing this.
Thank you! Can’t disagree with that, but more folks are seeing it in a shorter timespan than ever before, so perhaps I’m on to somethin here ;)
@@ShayferJames Definatley, if you keep blessing us with these great tunes, you're bound to be noticed by the masses one day.
Much appreciated!! :)
You can always share on social media... Give it publicity
Oh it’s alll happenin :)
I just find you and I don't know how I've been living without your music. Love!
So very glad you found me!
Quickly becoming one of my favourites from you!
This pleases me 🖤
How can so many of your songs be so goood!
Thank you for the kind words. I just make what I feel and never compromise the voices in my head :)
Legends say that he hearts every comment
P.S love the song man keep it up
You know what they say about legends...
Wait you still come back to this video to read new comments? And I thought I couldn’t love you anymore. You’re literally so real and cool and awesome and amazing for that
🙏. Seems rude not to reply. I don’t always get notifications for comments but when I do I MUST REPLY. 😊
@@ShayferJames that’s so cool!
I love your music so much!!!! Everytime that I try to catch only one quote from your lyrics I end up very confused about which one I'm going to use... It's genius, beautiful, majestic... I've never seen this kind of art before.
I'm always showing your work to my friends and each one of them that I showed, loved it. I was used to sing Weight of the world with my friend almost every single day at school... Good times :).
It's the first time I'm watching the video for Mercy Down. The message is amazing. So clear, there is nothing between the lines... It is so explicit. This is what we need. Thank you for you amazing work! Your voice is so beautiful ❤️
(Sorry if there is any mistakes, English is not my native language, but I think you can understand it hahahah)
Your English is perfect and this comment is so beautiful. I’m so glad the song and video speak to you. Words are my favorite part of song-making, so it’s amazing to have them appreciated in the way that you have here too. Thank you 🖤
spotify says this was my eighth most listened to song in 2021... so not surprised, love to blast it in the car!
🖤🖤
Certified bop 🏅
Why thank you
I fucking love the imagery of this, as an art student I can appreciate it even more then before. A bloody bang up job with this one ✨✨
Thank you artist friend ✨🙏
I genuinely cannot get over your music!!! I love how different each song can sound from each other in tone, but still be so recognizably you!
Thank you friend 🖤🖤🖤
Found you like a week ago and I love it. "There's a tyrant on the throne
And a clown on every screen
Compelling us to stay at home" you didn't know in advanced how the Corona pandemic would play out, did you?
Ha! I did not know...at least I don’t think I did.... 🤔 , but you aren’t the first person to ask me this. I suppose prescient given the stare of things! I’m SO very glad you found me. Welcome.
Well, a wise Jedi once said there are no coincidences :D
Please Don't Ever Stop Making Music
Can’t stop, won’t stop
You have to be one of my favourite musical artists if not my favourite-- thank you so much for existing
Thank YOU for existing :)
How are you so underrated! Not only is your music amazing but you even interact with fans alot, even years after the vid was posted!
Thank you friend ✨🖤
@@ShayferJames 3 months later and you still reply to my comment, you are bloody brilliant sir
I’m just sorry I didn’t see it earlier. RUclips seems to have hidden some from me!
Great song dad
😂👴🏻🖤
I'm so obsessed with your music!! Been listening to it non stop for months, I just can't get tired of it!!
I’m so glad! More coming soon :)
@@ShayferJames woah I'm looking forward to it! This reply made my day 🤧
I've been listening to this on repeat before and after work. It's been so incredible. The range of this man's voice omg ;u; I love how it just goes up and down and it's so clear that I don't need a lyric video to understand what he's singing. Love this song. It's got a cheerful/catchy tune, but the lyrics are quite dark. I love it!
Thank you friend 🖤🥰
Listen to your music every night to help me to sleep, and this is always in the queue! Love your music, keep it up! 💙💙💙
Means the world. More coming very soon
such talent!! i've just discovered your music recently and i'm already entranced
Welcome to my world new friend :)
i recently saw you in concert and have been utterly spellbound ever since :)💕
I’m so glad ✨✨ much more to come
