Mercy Songtext
von Jeff Finlin

Tried to make it with my heart
Tried again with doing time
Toured again and then I troubled
Walked the crooked tooth of crime
Rolled them bones ′til I hear double
Weighed the salt inside my tears
But they only accept mercy here

How many times must I fall
Upon a swollen appetite
To be so humbled by a call
To amen by the emptiness of might
Oh, it can leave a body cold
Down here below the frozen light
Just to leave a life unfold
Burn the flag and leave the fight


Relieved my body of its plunder
To pay with what I hold so dear
But they only accept mercy here
How many times must I fall
Upon a swollen appetite
To be so humbled by a call
To amen by the emptiness of might
Oh, it can leave a body cold
Down here below the frozen light

Just to leave a life unfold
Burn the flag and leave the fight

Tried to make it with my mind
Pitted will against my fear
Desperation undressed
Shotgun rain from far and near
Tried to make it with you
And the luck of all our years
But they only accept mercy here
But they only accept mercy here
