Mercy
I’ve come ten thousand miles on my bare-naked feet
I wrote all I could write I read all I could read
But a sky full of words and a voice in my sleeve
Cannot show me the way to Mercy
There’s a road on the map leading up to the floor
After God made the earth did he lock the door?
Now the blood paints the ground while we fight for the key
It’s the key to a town called Mercy
Cry it out and there’ll be no more hurt
Cry it out it’s just a simple word
Away now let me fall into the wilderness’ embrace
You gotta let me go
And so I’ve come to the end I might have burrowed too deep
Have I tumbled down from a stairway too steep
Now there’s no turning back, there’s no space to retreat
So to hell and to ruin with Mercy
Mercy
Mercy
Mercy
Have mercy on me
