lyrics

MERCY

If you saw the sun fall down
If you felt the sky close round
If everything that ever meant a thing to me was found untrue
If I landed on your shore
Captive by your first world law
If everything that ever meant a thing to me was found untrue

Mercy for the slave for the free
Mercy pulls against all you see
Mercy

When I play the cruelest games
Rising from my deepest shame
When I lay a final blame on you
The judgement of a selfish child
A leader that was worth the while
Hear the holy fools who whisper to the raging storm for you

Mercy for the proud and the shamed
Mercy promises that never came
Mercy for the fool and the wise
Mercy mercy mercy

Some can navigate the chart
Dark waters of the human heart
Somehow north will always stay true
Mercy for the land and sea
Mercy for what used to be
Mercy for you and me

Mercy
