Mercy Lyrics

Mercy lyrics

 Mercy



 *****************



 



 



 I stood in the water



 In the middle month of winter



 My camel skin was torture



 I was in a state of nature



 The wind, sir, it was wicked



 I was so alone



 Just as I predicted



 My followers were gone 



 



 And I cried `Mercy'



 Have mercy upon me



 And I got down on my knees 



 



 Thrown into a dungeon



 Bread and water was my portion



 Faith - my only weapon



 To rest the devil's legion



 The speak-hole would slide open



 A viper's voice would plead



 Thick with innuendo



 Syphilis and Greed 



 



 And she cried `Mercy'



 Have mercy upon me



 And I told her to get down on her knees 



 



 In a garden full of roses



 My hands, tied behind me



 My cousin was working miracles



 I wondered if he'd find me



 The moon was turned toward me



 Like a platter made of gold



 My death, it almost bored me



 So often was it told 



 



 And I cried `Mercy'



 I cried mercy on me



 Cryind `Mercy'



 Have mercy on me
