Your pillow don't get wet when I go to bed and weep
Your eyes don't turn red when I don't get my sleep
Your world don't fall apart when my phone don't ring
You say you feel for me but you don't feel a thing
Mercy have mercy on me mercy have mercy on me
A little bit of understanding and a little bit of sympathy
And a little bit of mercy on me (eu-eu-eu eu-eu-eu)
You don't like the clothes I wear and you don't like my friends
You don't like my job or the town we're livin' in
You don't like my mama and you don't like my dog
I bet if the truth was known you don't like this song

[Lil Wayne Verse]
I’m the shit turn your nose up
I threw some bad bitches on my tour bus
I threw some bad bitches on my private jet
If them bitches ain’t fucking give them parachutes
Walked up to a redbone like I’m the shit
Told her give me that pussy, and fuck my bitch

Bitch yellow, tape yellow, give you an H-A-L-O
I don’t do pussy niggas, but get the most pussy nigga

Swish Michael
Phelps nigga in your ho
Coupe the color of Yoohoo
Rude boy free Buju
Fuck wrong with these fuck niggas

Fuck y’all I’d rather skate
Shoot you up in your database
I fell in love with drop tops
I fell in love with shotguns
Our guns bigger than cop guns
Y’all ain’t spitting, dry tongue
I like wet pussy, she like hard dick
Hard head make her soft fast
Tatted up from head to toe
Guess you can call me a marksman
Wayne soaring
All my whores is whoring
All you rappers is boring
Truckfit hat and some Jordans
[Hook]
I was drinking some wine
And it turned to blood
What's the use of religion
If you're only good
I know I'm weed killer, honey
And you're sugar
If you're the prosecution
I get away with murder
You're gravity searching for the ground
I'm silence searching for a sound
Your heart is aching
Your heart is my home
It's fascinating
I know I'll never be alone
You're gonna kill me and I wanna die
We were meant for each other, you and I
Souls allowed to love
And there's nowhere else to turn
You're not sorry, you're not gonna cry
You put the blue back in my eye
It's just us
Because, because, because we can
We must
If you're hunger, baby let me feed it
If your heart is full, baby let me bleed it
And happiness is for those who don't really need it
You love me too much
You wanna kill me and I wanna die
We're a perfect match, you and I
Slaves without the drug
And there's no one else to trust
I'm not sorry, you're not gonna cry
You put the blue back in my eye
It's just us
Because, because, because we can
We must
I'm gonna kill me and I wanna die
We were meant for each other, you and I
Souls allowed to trust
And there's no one left to trust
I'm not sorry, you're not gonna cry
You put the blue back in my eye
It's just us
Because, because, because we can
We must
Because, because, because we can
We must
Because, because, because we can
Don't give up
I know you can see
All the world and the mess that were making
Can't give up
And hope God will intercede
Come on back
Imagine that we could get it together
Stand up for what we need to be
Cause crime won't save our feet or hungry child
Can't lay down and hope no miracles change things
So lift up your eyes
Lift up your heart
Singing mercy will we overcome this
Oh one by one could we turn it around
Maybe carry on just a little bit longer
And I try to give you what you need
Me and you and you and you
Just want to be free yeah
But you see all the world is just as we've made it
And until we got a new world
Got to say that love is not a whisper or a weakness
No love is strong
So we got to get together yeah
Gotta get gotta get gotta get
Til there is no reason
To fight
Mercy will we overcome this
Oh one by one could we turn it around
Maybe carry on just a little bit longer
And I try to give you what you need
Yeah...
Ah...
Oh...
Yeah...
Mercy will we overcome this
Oh we come to far to turn it around
Oh and asked too much to be a little bit stronger
But I want to give you what you need
Mercy what will become of us
Oh one by one could we turn it around
Maybe carry on just a little bit longer

I’m red leather, this cocaine, I’m Rick James hoe
I’m bill droppin’, Ms. Pacman is pill poppin’ ass hoe
I’m poppin’ too, these blue dolphins need two coffins
All she want is some heel money
All she need is some bill money
He take his time, he counts it out
I weighs it up, that’s real money
Check the neck, check the wrist
Them heads turnin’, that’s exorcist
My Audemar like Mardi Gras
That’s Swiss time and that’s excellence
Two door preference
Roof gone George Jefferson
That white frost on that pound cake
So your Duncan Heinz is irrelevant
Lambo, Mercy-lago, she go wherever I go
Wherever we go we do it pronto
Lamborghini Mercy
Your chick she so thirsty
I’m in that two seat Lambo

Well it is a weeping, and a moaning, and a gnashing of teeth
In the dancehall, and who no have teeth will run pon them gums
Caw when time it comes to my sound, which is the champion sound
The bugle has blown the many times, and it still have one more time
left
Caw the amount of stripe weh deh pon our shoulder
[Verse 3: Kanye West]
Let the suicide doors up
I do suicides on the tour bus
I do suicides on the private jet
You know what that mean, I’m fly to death
I step in Def Jam building like I’m the shit
Tell ‘em “give me fifty million or I’mma quit”
Most rappers taste level ain’t at my waist level
Turn up the bass ’til it’s up in your face level
Don’t do no press but I get the most press, kid
Plus your my bitch, make your bitch look like Precious
Something’ ’bout Mary she gone off that Molly
Now the whole party is melted like Dalí
Now everybody is movin’ they body
Don’t sell me apartment, I move in the lobby
Niggas is loiterin’ just to feel important
You gon see lawyers and niggas in Jordans
[Verse 4: 2 Chainz]
Now ketchup to my campaign
Coupe the color of mayonnaise
I’m drunk and high at the same time
Drinkin’ champagne on the airplane
Spit rounds like the gun range
Beat it up like Rampage
100 bands, cut ya girl now your girl need a bandaid
Grade A, A1, chain the color of Akon
Black diamonds backpack around me
Cosigned by Louis Vuitton
Horse power, horse power
All this Polo on I got horse power
Pound of this cost 4 thousand
I make it rain, she want more showers
Rain pourin’, all my cars is foreign
All my broads is foreign, money tall like Jordan
Lamborghini Mercy
Your chick she so thirsty
I’m in that two seat Lambo
With your girl she tryna jerk me
It is a weeping, and a moaning, and a gnashing of teeth
It is a weeping, and a moaning, and a gnashing of teeth
When it comes to my sound which is the champion sound
Believe! Believe!
It is a weeping, and a moaning, and a gnashing of teeth
It is a weeping, and a moaning, and a gnashing of teeth
When it comes to my sound which is the champion sound
You live for times of solace
Within a sign there's a promise
Don't lose all faith cause
You shake at night it's in
The art of the process
In another rhyme beyond this place
The healing's fast enough...
Done a thousand times a thousand ways
Until you've had enough
...It's mercy you're asking for
Cheating life by taking more
It's mercy you're asking for
Take my life or give me more...
The loss of prize possessions
To cure the mind's obsession
Could trade your soul for that
Normal life elite to all objections...
See beyond all tears and broken years
Your senses giving up
Lose all confidence at your expense
I got a feeling of unrighteousness,
bitter cold and hollow bitterness,
Down the road, I walk with loneliness,
Mercy will follow me I'm told.
My sister sang, songs so sweet and sad,
'Bout a man, who's love I never had,
There's a train, bound for Gillian?
Mercy will follow me I'm told,
Mercy will you follow me,
Mercy will you follow me,
'Til my final breath at last I take,
Mercy will you follow me,
Mercy will you follow me,
'Til the chains of this old world I finally break.
Under this skin, there lies a heart of stone,
It's growing old, so very far, from home,
But a heart of gold, I may someday own?
And mercy will follow me, I'm told,
Mercy will you follow me,
Mercy will you follow me,
Until the final breath at last I take,
Mercy will you follow me,
Mercy will you follow me,
'Til the chain of this old world I finally break,
'Til the chains of this old world I finally break,
We have slaughtered
In the garden of beauty
Digging graves instead of planting
Mercy for the crucified
A bitter justice
Begging eternity for love
We're nothing
We're everything
I am nothing
Yet I am everybody
We're nothing
And yet we are
Wisdom lights up life's road
Snatching our breath till it dims up your chest
How much pain can I manifest
When I come to wreck, ripping through your flesh, techs
My killers you'll never see, invisible invisible are we
Unseen like ghosts, strike like infrared beams make toast
We smoke the most but never bump the most
Our figgas are like a ropes around throats
Better fin to attack, cause we cloak in the image of smoke
Leaving motherfuckers broke like a king of jokes, mercy
I know not of a feeling, but the thriller
Of a killer gets my adrenaline rushing
Never stopping, watching niggas dropping
More breaking, blood gushing, I done opened the wounds
As I destroy cities with the fools, and masoons
Your doom has awaited, all your mercy is forsaken, time to die
Got to kill them all, every nigga fin to fall when I kill them all
Found them up in bombs, yelling stomach punches
Yelling and running K of dynasty coming
[Verse 2]
More of this contender, go-rilla, more member I be
It'd be a infinity, hoes want to get rid of me
Fin to be found dead and deceased
This ain't no game, ain't a damn thing changed
Cause I came to bring the pain
Glock ass still fits running on they head
While they play it I rise up in chains
Hag in here, hag in here, more deadly than anyone's intention
It had to be, more casualties
While I'm in more blemishes than fatal infections
Slice them up like a wolverine, but I use a machete and a guillotine
Want to stop like a king on my god damn dream
And now mark and ass niggas recognize my team
(Chorus - 4x)
Murder-er in me, I love to see you bleed
[Z-Ro]
The murderous feeling is killing your kin
And tripping them niggas up with a 4-5
Hit the ground and running bud, then I probably bumping in blood
A fast thug fin to lose his life, motherfucking nigga from Texas
Steady with the dumb plexers, by the hand when I'm kicking your ass
And everybody better ball on
Cause I fuck around and y'all gone and a nigga like me
Cause I'm blessed with a tight 22, AK47, 3-57, Mac 11
Balling and and a 25, bulletproof vest and a sharpened shank
Motherfucker your body gone stank, I'm flawless
Swinging and leaving them jawless
One of these niggas are about to bleed
Running with the big dog follow my lead
They following they mama straight when we
Put him in the streets I'm a regular competitor
To the niggas that I want to act surely
Everybody want to live, let the early bird get the worm
Run up in the corner store bright early
Even though I be hanging with thugs
Giving me mugs, and I do a lot of drugs till I pass out
When I smell a dirty rat up all in my motherfucking face
I'm hunting they motherfucking ass out
Want to be stepping and pulling my whip
And I'm ready to go to war with them niggas
That be stepping and pulling back they fucking up grind
It's going down load the clip in the gun and I'm making them run
A gorilla nigga evermore buck and he died, but who was the nigga
That's talking down, don't really want me to get an attitude
I'm slapping haters up out the niggas that think of my trigger
Won't be getting no automatic beatdown but that's what I live for no mercy
(Chorus - 4x)
[Verse 4]
Walking the land of a naked world
Looking down up on my enemies in vein
With a mind full of deadly games, I'ma serve your aim
Shouldn't of killed putting holes in your frame, feeling no remorse
As deadly force overcomes my thugs so bare witness
Sense of relentless, vengeance, and 24 victims of wickedness
By the hills of homicide, cause everytime I pull a whip and close
I can hear the sounds of bodies from the victim of 17 and reloads
Did you really believe that you could platinum-sieve a nigga like me
I was born to murder the world, but killers and g's and evil deeds
It'll be a whole lot fly bringing
Some saying if you run up on me the wrong way
I'ma be forced to pull a AK
Bust your ass in the head when the lead spray
My day, my day know you the fourth guy
To a region in mouth no time to shine
You the dead victim, of reincarnated
I am humbled by Your holiness
I live my life in a holy fear
I am taken by Your tenderness
It's Your kindness that drives me near
I find pleasure in Your providence
And how You knew me before I was known
I can't fathom Your faithfulness
You'll never leave me all alone
CHORUS:
And it's Your mercy that amazes me
Salvation shrouded in a mystery
It's in spite of my humanity
That Your mercy
It amazes me
You are maker of heaven and earth
You are the author of my faith
You made me in the image of You
You're my only saving gace
How magestic is Your name
You are the LORD, Three in One
You have pardoned me of my sins
And adopted me as Your son
CHORUS
Your mercy that amazes me
Salvation's shrouded in a mystery
How could You give Your life for one like me
It's Your mercy
It amazes me
It's not my righteous works that please You
But when I understand I need You
Oh, I need You
It's Your mercy that amazes me
Salvation shrouded in a mystery
It's in spite of my humanity
That Your mercy
Yes, it's Your mercy, Your mercy amazes me
Salvation shrouded in a mystery
How could You give Your life for one like me
It's Your mercy
It's Your mercy that amazes me
It's Your mercy that amazes me
It's amazing
It's Your mecy that amazes me
It's Your mercy
I am humbled by Your holiness
How You knew me before I was known
Oh, Your mercy's amazing
can't believe it
how could You give Your life for One like me
It's Your mercy that amazes me
Well I have lived ten years plus ten
And ten and ten again
I have seen too much to pretend
And then you wanted to come in
I have survived all of the lies
They made me wise
The locks and walls and the peace it buys
Still when I look into your eyes
It's a surprise when you say
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be okay
Just hold on tight
let it all go away
What do you want from me
Mercy, mercy baby
What do you want from me
well I plead Mercy, mercy baby
I do not know what this all means
It's been awhile
Since I've been stylin' in
Just my jacket and my jeans
It hurts to walk
It hurts to talk
It hurts to think about it
Shout about it
Could I be sure without a doubt
That you could never live without
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be okay
Just hold on tight
let it all go away
Mercy baby
What do you want from me
Mercy, mercy, mercy baby
What do you want from me
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be okay
Just hold on tight
let it all go away
I want to fall in you
Crawl in you
Surrender
All in you now
Could I be sure in you
Pure in you
Finding the cure in you
Now I plead
Have mercy on me
Now I am kneeling at the altar
In the temple of your eyes
And I am asking for a miracle
I have been too long paralyzed when you say
Get up
Stand up
Climb the rope of hope
and open up again
All the peace you say is promised me
seems too much to comprehend
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be okay
Just hold on tight
let it all go away
Mercy baby
What do you want from me
Mercy, mercy baby
what Can this girl believe
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be okay
Honey just hold on tight
And I'll make it all go away
Hold on
It's gonna be alright
Mercy darling
Mercy
I went thru too many people
I went thru heaven and hell
I went from rome to bagdad
Too many stories to tell
I lived thru too many aeons
I've risen up and I fell the fall
I have been there and I have done that
I've seen it all and all
My time is running like water
Deeper I dive and deeper
Last of nine lives of the cat
I saved my soul for the reaper
What do you mean by that
Mercy is all you get
Do what you won't regret
We used to sit and watch the kids belly flop divin in
the river.
Share a bottle a scrumpy by the neck,lie in the sun and
you'd make me laugh.
Take of early and head on home to get dolled up for the
Casino.
we'd head out lookin all shiny and new, we were
Teddyboys we had to be cool,
later that night we'd go down to Mario's for fish and
chips and vinegar,
a smile for the camera man got me and you in a
photograph.
But time goes on and on and nothin beautiful lasts
forever,
I know what you've done and what you've been through
I dont understand why you do what you do,
I give you my hand its a hand you can hold on to
MERCY, MERCY,
We drifted apart and you grew strange you were more
into whisky then women.
The first time you got lifted you loved it,you wrote
your own epitaph.
here lies a wanted man could'nt take the rules when
they hit him.
here lies a man with an attitude and a polaroid shot of
a hand he could hold onto
MERCY,MERCY.
The older you get the harder it bites,when you fight
you go kamikaze.
It hurts so bad to see you fall back from your tender
ways.
Now all you've got is in a police bag beside a row of
walkie-talkies on the mantlepiece,
I know what you've done and what you've been through,
but I dont understand why you do what you do what you
I give you my hand its a hand you can hold onto
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
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 Oh God according to Your love
Cleanse me from my iniquity wash me from my sin
Against You only have I done this sin and worked this evil in Your sight
Take me back where I can be whole again
'cause all I want Oh Lord is to be in Your light
Because Your love, it gives new life to me
The more I have of You, the more that I can believe that Your love,
it can set me free
Oh Lord I know I need Your grace and mercy
Have mercy on me
Oh God according to Your love
Help me to see more of You
My eyes won't pretend
I didn't know you were close
I can smell your breath
Through a freshly painted door
Stand here in your coat
While I pour three more glasses of burgundy
And you can lick the dust from the bottle
Wall's bricked with books
Pages bricked with words
Each mark has been stained in your honor
Ground shadow staggers restless
From the window cross the candle to the corner
My blood and water's warm as you near me
I'm not begging for mercy
I see no love of mercy in you
I'm not begging for mercy
I'm only waiting for the sound
Of the morning birds
To send you away
Wax is cooled, hard
Sights is going past the yard
In this house I make more shadows than you
Stand there in your hate
While I drink from the second burgundy
And you can rattle the glass cross your belly
I'm not begging for mercy
I see no love of mercy in you
I'm not begging for mercy
I'm only waiting for the sound
Of the morning birds
To send you away
I'm not begging for mercy
I'm not begging for mercy
I'm only waiting for the sound
Mercy - pure and simple
Longing - cold and hollow
With sweet breath you'd come to warm me
But I held on too hard to only a memory
You lie there on the swollen ground
Deserted in your heart
Still longing for what yesterdays lost
And for all that tomorrow might bring
The passion lost - taken, stolen
The dreams we had and we shared - shattered, broken
With kind words you'd come to soothe me
But I go blind and filled with fear
Would send you away from me
There is no hope in regretting now
All the pain that we could not see
We both knew what we wanted
And we took it believing it free
would you tell me please
what happened to me
I know I was there
but I have no memory
would you give me a picture
would you give me a trigger word
would you tell me where was I
when the color-me-in sky came down
this is not my fault
this is not my fault
this is not my fault
for this one
I need mercy
this is not mine
these thoughts that blind me
this unfounded fear
this constantly seeking escape
alone, restless and yearning
I feel like I have felt before
when I drank away all of my problems
until I drank myself on the floor
this is not my fault
this is not my fault
this is not my fault
for this, I need mercy
and I know that I am not healthy
yeah, but who really is
at least I am trying something
at least I am willing to give in
I know that this is a never ending process
this growing up thing
yeah but, sometimes, life on life's terms
means that I do not get to win
this is not my fault
this is not my fault
this is not my fault
this is not my fault
for this one, I need mercy
give me mercy
Words & Music by Vonda Shepard
I was raised on nothing, so I save my money
Emotional poverty, well I'm used to running
How amazing you make me feel
If I am crazy, don't wanna know what's real
You're like a wave of heaven and you're breaking on me
To change the destiny of a girl that's lonely
But how amazing and how surreal
To live with a desire that you may never feelI can sell everything but my soul
I have never settled just to play some kind of role
I have give everything baby but my hand
Mercy can you save me from this wonderful man
I feel like a can
I kick myself down the street
I'm crushed for a while
Then I get on my feet
I loved the illusive in every man I saw
I draw them to me like they were the last straw
I can sell everything baby but my soul
I have never settled just to play some kind of role
I have given everything baby but my hand
Mercy can you save me from this wonderful man
There is my kite caught around a signpost
The sign says, ?You are almost there?
So I was right, there is a Heaven
Very near, very near
There are no fires of hell
There is only mercy
There are no fires of hell
There is only mercy
Some days my kite goes where I cannot see
And I feel happy for its freedom
When it's tangled in trees and wires
I know it's my own fault, all my fault
There are no fires of hell
There is only mercy
There are no fires of hell
There is only mercy
One day my kite will escape forever
And I will jump to catch the trailing string
Wishes and wants will fall from my pocket
As I wave, full of peace
There are no fires
There is only mercy
There are no fires of hell
There is only mercy
There are no fires
There are no fires
There is only mercy
There is only mercy
Mercy, mercy
There are no fires
Mercy
You spoke the word
And lit the day
With loving hands
You formed the clay
And made the ones
Who would betray
Your mercy
On a mountain side
They heard You speak
Saying, Blessed are the poor
And meek
And on Your knees
You washed their feet
Oh, mercy
CHORUS: Your mercy shines like the morning
When the darkness runs
From the day
Like the rising sun
Oh, Your glory
Chases the shadows away
And we are changed
By mercy
To bear the nails to save a friend
Is a thought I cannot comprehend
But to die for those
Who drove them in
That's Your mercy
And though heaven
Truly has in store
An eternity of great rewards
The only thing I'm praying for
Is Your mercy
CHORUSLet Your mercy fill my heart

Monday morning hit me at a hundred miles an hour, so I ripped out the
telephone and waited in the shower nobody came rushing in when I began
to scream the morning that I realised that this was not a dream sweet
success is up and above poverty below I wake in the middle and I press
the green to go passion and sobriety are yelling in my head can't sleep
over money I got cobras in my bed! I am tired, I am lonely all I needs a
little mercy and here it comes! Here it comes I'm worried I won't make
it and I'm dogged by good advice scared that I might lose it and I can't
afford the price hounded by these images designed to turn me on what
planet do the people in the adverts all live on? Now I'm tired, now I'm
lonely all I needs a little mercy and here it comes! Here it comes! Oh,
judge come and put your arms around me oh, and take me to a quiet river
oh, we'll lash our bodies in the water - vow no one can touch us now
above our heads it's up there Monday morning hit me at a hundred miles
an hour so I ripped out the telephone and waited in the shower nobody
came rushing in when I began to scream the morning I realised that this
was not a dream I am tired, I am lonely all I needs a little mercy I am

I wanna real love to let me in
I wanna zero out and be born again
No more false starts and no dead end
'Cause I'm no shape to do what's right
And I see up as down and black as white
It makes me dizzy, I come apart
All this love, love, love in the dark
Mercy, mercy, both hands
I need less drowning and more land
Mercy, mercy, understand
(Less drowning, more land, less drowning)
Lit a fire in the crowd just to watch you move
And tie your hands and demand a salute
Oh, this garden's full of snakes and fruit
Oh, oh no, no, no, no
Hear the click, click, click of the camera flash
And in the definite kicking of the fame bomb blast
But they don't call and they don't last
And you're gone, out-shined
Mercy, mercy, both hands
I need less drowning and more land
Mercy, mercy, understand
(Less drowning, more land, less drowning)
So come on, kill the lights and leave it all behind
I'm right by your, I'm right by your side
Well in the tick of time, put your hand in mine
Watch it all, watch it all ignite
Mercy, mercy, both hands
I need less drowning and more land
Mercy, mercy, understand
Less drowning, more land
Mercy, mercy, I'm in your hands
I look into your eyes and I see what I can
Mercy, mercy, understand
Less drowning, more land
I met a man responsible
For an unforgivable crime
We were at a bar and he said to me
I’m out, I’ve done my time
But you know I will always be begging for mercy
A few seats down at the corner of the bar
Sat a mother of two
She said she’d given up her babies for
To start her life anew
All that we’ve done we hang on to
All that we’ve done we belong to
All that we’ve done carries on
Now I feel like the lucky one
Unlike how I felt before
Cause thankfully what I’ve done wrong,
The guilt I can ignore
You know I won’t be beggin for
I won’t be asking for
I won’t be desperate for mercy
Them winners who tread
The battle field
Grow deaf by horrifying anthem
Of human moans that has begun
The sharpened oil soaked stakes
Are begin occupied
By the defeated ones who claim
Mercy before the tyrant Vlad
Mercy, mercy, please kill us fast
Mercy, mercy, don't make us suffer
The impaler wants to eliminate
The invaders of his empire
The impaler wants to hear the cry
For mercy at this feet
The roaring of the wind
And the misteries of the night
Always take you towards victory
Your blessed sword under the order the dragon
I can't seem to find the words
To say the things I want to say to you
I must be burnin' out
One night a long, long time ago
My mother told me I should go to you
With all my thoughts and dreams
Please, please tell me
What you gonna do
When every princess comes to you singin'?
Lord have mercy
Mercy on my soul
Please have mercy
Salvation for my soul
It's just that I can't justify
How you can let them do the things they do
Well, I'd let them have it good
They laugh and totally forget
That all creation is because of you
How do you do such things?
Please, please tell me
What you gonna do
When all the losers cling to you singin'?
Lord have mercy
Mercy on my soul
Please have mercy
Salvation and some mercy, mercy, mercy
Mercy on my soul
Solo
Lord have mercy
Mercy on my soul
Please have mercy
Salvation for my soul
Lord have mercy
Mercy on my soul
Please have mercy
Salvation and some mercy, mercy, mercy

Your virgin light is a golden flame
But it's burning, it's burning fast now
You crossed the line and you made a choice
You hurt the one you love now he needs you
Mercy I can't see your heart
I can't feel your love
Mercy I can't see your heart
I can't feel your love
Your life is like a song you're living like a fool
You're living like a fool but I can't tell you right
You're taking all the time you're taking all my time
You're living like a fool
And I can't tell you right
Mercy I can't see your heart
I can't feel your love
Mercy I can't see your heart
In his heart he's thinking that he's Ours
Teach him to be Ours
In his heart he couldn't ever find
'cause he might take his life
Teach him to be Ours
We went blind
Waiting for a sign, just waiting for a sign
Couldn't see and dying
Waiting for a sign, just waiting for a sign
It's hard pretending that it's not
Still we're reaching
What do we want?
We went blind
Waiting for a sign, just waiting for a sign
Could'nt sleep and dying
Waiting for a sign, just waiting for a sign
Mercy for the meek
Mercy for the meek
Mercy for the meek
Mercy for the meek, i won't let you go...
Mercy - when I melt in the kiss by the words and the whispers you sing me
Mercy - I'm frail in the kill by submission and will that you bring me
Mercy - when I'm nothing but ego you slap me to let go and sleep free
Now I sleep free...
You're my toybox, your my memories
when I smell your skin you just make my whole world weep
I'm at your feet, I'm at your feet
Mercy - when the grey turns to black and the wave's on my back, you make me smile
Mercy - is the trauma no martyr you crush into pleasure and downtown
Mercy - it's the shining of you that just breaks me in two like a lifeline - you're my lifeline.
I'm the idiot to your poetry when you burn you bleach
Everything and all I need is at your feet, Is at your feet.
Mercy - are the licks and the lips of temptation, just tricks, not for playing?
Mercy - are you the camera suck, gun slut to headphone fuck holes in my being
Mercy - are you everything which put the sex into bitch, just faking, do you fake it?
So I celebrate your chemistry
If you bond with me
I could make your whole world sweet,
Holy god
holy and strong
holy and immortal
have mercy on us
have mercy on us
Let the rain wash our tears away
let the water free our soul from sin
don't let evil come into our heart
it will makes his home there
Holy god
holy and strong
holy and immortal
have mercy on us
Mercy, well, I melt in the kiss by the words
And the whispers you sing me
Mercy, and I'm frail in the kill by submission
And will that you bring me
Mercy, when I'm nothing but ego
You slap me to let go and sleep free
Now I sleep free
You're my toy box, you're my memories
When I smell your skin you just make my whole world weep
I'm at your feet, I'm at your feet
Mercy, when the gray turns to black
And the waves on my back, you make me smile
Mercy, is the trauma no martyr
You crush into pleasure and downtown
Mercy, it's the shining of you
That just breaks me in two like a lifeline
You're my lifeline
And I'm the idiot to your poetry
When you burn and bleach
Everything and all I need
Is at your feet, is at your feet
Mercy, are the licks and the lips of temptation
Just tricks, not for playing
Mercy, are you the camera suck
Gun slut to headphone fuck holes in my being
Mercy, are you everything
Which put the sex into bitch or just faking?
Do you fake it?
So I celebrate your chemistry
If you bond with me
I could make your whole world sweet
I'm on my knees, on my knees
On my knees, on my knees
On my knees, on my knees
[Limited Edition Bonus Acoustic Live CD. Paradise Lost cover]
You live for times of solace
Within a sign there's a promise,
Don't lose all faith cause you shake at night
It's in the art of the process.
In another rhyme beyond this place.
The healing's fast enough...
Done a thousand times a thousand ways until
You've had enough...
It's mercy you're asking for cheating life
By taking more it's mercy you're asking for
Take my life or give me more...
The loss of prize possession to cure the mind's obsession
Could trade your soul for that normal life
Elite to all objections...
See beyond all tears and broken years your senses giving
Angel of mercy, how did you find me?
Where did you read my story?
Pulled from the papers, desperate and hardened
Seeking a momentary fix
All I wanted to say, all I wanted to do
Has fallen apart now
All I wanted to feel, I wanted to love
It's all my fault now
A tragedy I fear
Angel of mercy, how did you find me?
How did you pick me up again?
Angel of mercy, how did you move me?
Why am I on my feet again?
And I see you, whoa
And I feel you, whoa
Fortress of daylight, caught me on standby
Waiting to catch the quickest plane
Fly me to nowhere, it's better than somewhere
That?s where I?ve been and nothing?s changed
All I wanted to say, all I wanted to do
Has fallen apart now
All I wanted to feel
I wanted to love, it's all my fault now
A tragedy for sure
Angel of mercy, how did you find me?
How did you pick me up again?
Angel of mercy, how did you move me?
Why am I on my feet again?
And I see you, whoa
And I feel you, whoa
I'm so lost in you
A tragedy it seemed to be, but what now?
What now?
A tragedy it seemed to be, but what now?
Angel of mercy, how did you find me?
How did you pick me up again?
Angel of mercy, how did you move me?
Why am I on my feet again?
And I see you, whoa
And I feel you, whoa
I feel you, whoa
I got nothing but love for you honey
It don't matter if you ain't got money
I got chills running down from my head to my feet
But my temperature's rising I can feel the heat
Cupid ain't got nothing on you, boy
You keep me up until early morning
Lord, I swear, you outta come with a warning
I feel so high I get weak in the knees
I ain't gonna lie, I love the way that you tease
You got me beggin', beggin' mercy
CHORUS
I quit, I give in
Cuz there's no way to win at this game
If this love is a sin
Then I'll be going down in flames
Never gonna be the same
Oh, mercy
I've been feelin' hot and bothered
You got a way that's like no other
You found my weakness and you tightened your grip
And, I've been held a captive to that night ever since
So, lock me up and throw away the key, boy
If your lovin' is a crime, I surrender
Go and take me baby as your prisoner
I'm where I wanna be, crying mercy
CHORUS
I quit, I give in
Cuz there's no way to win at this game
If this love is a sin
Then I'll be going down in flames
Never gonna be the same
Aaah aah aah aah aah aaaah
Just wanna love, don't wanna care
But we ain't goin' anywhere
As long as I, can't put these thoughts to rest
Of you and her a time before
Did you love her even more?
For all I know
Those words you said, their' in her bed
Are they the same you used on me
Honestly
[Chorus:]
If someone's out there watching over me
Show me there's a better way
Something just to ease the pain
Tonight I cross my heart and hope to die
this isn't who I wanna be
Have mercy over me
I ask no questions tell no lies
I got no need for alibies
But that ain't why I'm diggin' up the past
I should have seen it from the start
You only love with half a heart
Now I know why
I know it's wrong I can't go on
Though in my heart I'll always feel
You were for real
[Chorus:]
If someone's out there watching over me
Show me there's a better way
Something just to ease the pain
Tonight I cross my heart and hope to die
this isn't who I wanna be
Have mercy over me
Aaah aah aah aah aah aaaah
Have mercy over me
Aaah aah aah aah aah aaaah
I know it's wrong I can't go on
Though in my heart I'll always feel
You were for real
[Chorus:]
If someone's out there watching over me
Show me there's a better way
Something just to ease the pain
Tonight I cross my heart and hope to die
this isn't who I wanna be
Have mercy over me
Aaah aah aah aah aah aaaah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I love you but I gotta stay true
My moral's got me on my knees
I'm begging please
Stop playing games
I don't know what this is but you got me good
Just like you knew you would
I don't know what you do but you do it well
I'm under your spell
You got me begging you for mercy
Why won't you release me?
You got me begging you for mercy
Why won't you release me?
I said release me
Now you think that I
Will be something on the side
But you got to understand that I need a man
Who can take my hand, yes I do
I don't know what this is but you got me good
Just like you knew you would
I don't know what you do but you do it well
I'm under your spell
You got me begging you for mercy
Why won't you release me?
You got me begging you for mercy
Why won't you release me?
I said you better release me
I'm begging you for mercy
Just why won't you release me?
I'm begging you for mercy
You got me begging, you got me begging
You got me begging
Mercy, why won't you release me?
I'm begging you for mercy
Why won't you release me?
You got me begging you for mercy
I'm begging you for mercy
I'm begging you for mercy
I'm begging you for mercy
I'm begging you for mercy
Why won't you release me?
You got me begging you for mercy
You got me begging down on my knees
I said you got me begging, begging you for mercy
Holding open time to rest awhile
I am playing in the darkness of warm July
Tryst between the scenes not happy,
as it seems you play with forgiveness
for wicked schemes
I know years ago
I know nowâ¦
You seem like some devil
You play like some god
Clean before the stream to innocence you cling
the beauty in the crime is you don't feel; a thing
Scars we wore years ago hurt now
You seemed like some devil
And you prayed like you were god
These roses form a ring around your cell
in these ashes
we all fall down
Hold on to the divine we'll all fall down.
Stars I wished on years ago burnt out
You seemed like some devil
You played like some god
These roses form a ring around our selves in the ashes we all fall down
Ah, ah, yeah
(Lies, lies ) ooh, baby (lies)
Well, well
We took a vow to be ever true
I lived up to mine, tell me, did you
Someone saw you with your old lover
Hand in hand, I don't understand
You said it ended so long ago
You had me believing while
You were deceiving me with lies (lies)
Wish I could have seen it in your eyes
(Lies) but I never did (no, I never did)
Baby, lies (lies) thought I read
The message in your eyes (lies)
But I was too caught up
In your web of lies
Someone calls at the strangest of times
And I swear I hear a man's voice
On the other side
You give me the same old story
It's just a friend
That's who it is, girl
I hate to say it but
My faith in you is shaking
Don't say you love me when
It's my heart you're breaking
With your lies (lies) wish I
Could have seen it in your eyes
(Lies) but I never did (no, I never did)
Ooh, lies (lies) it took so long
For me to realize (lies)
But I was too caught up
In your web of lies
Wish I could have seen it in your eyes
(Lies) but I never did, I never did
Lies (lies) it took so long for me
To realize (lies) but I was
Too caught up in your web of lies
Whoa, lies, girl
You had me believing while
You were deceiving me with lies
I hate to say it but
My faith in you is shaking
Don't say you love me when
It's my heart you're breaking
With your lies, wish I could
Have seen it in your eyes
But I never did
Baby, lies, it took
So long for me to realize
Oh, but I was too blind to see
Oh, baby, with a white lie
A wicked lie, oh, baby
You cheated on me, you cheated on me
With a white lie, with a wicked lie
When I loved you, loved you
You cheated on me, you cheated on me
With a white lie, oh, with a wicked lie
But I loved you, baby, loved you, baby
Lies
Oh, baby, with a white lie
A wicked lie, oh, baby
With a white lie

The affliction to my pain
And the skies will fall
Without you I'm inside of a hurricane
I would sell my soul
No, no-no-no, no-no-no, no
I need mercy It's the insanity eating up the man in me, girl
I need mercy
All of my fire's, my burning desire's, for you, see
I need mercy
And it's just so painful to sit here and think about you with them, oh no
I need mercy
I pray one day that you will be with me, girl, I would never let you go
I...
Bloodshot eyes and I'm so wasted
Why...
Why do I fight when I can't make it
I'm at the end of my rope, baby
(Whoa...)
I'm pulled apart from all the strain
I would break the law
There's nothing in this world I wouldn't take
I would sell my soul
But I can't, but I can't, but I can't, no 'cause
I need mercy
It's the insanity eating up the man in me, girl
I need mercy
All of my fire's, my burning desire's, for you, see
I need mercy
And it's just so painful to sit here and think about you with them, oh no
I need mercy
I pray one day that you will be with me, girl, I would never let you go
For you girl I would sell my soul
I would even break the law
There's nothing in this world I wouldn't take, oh yeah
And even if the skies would fall
I pray to God you'll hear my song
Without you I'm inside the hurricane
I need mercy It's the insanity eating out the man in me, girl
I need mercy
All of my fire, my burning desires
I need mercy
And it's just so painful to sit here and think about you with them, oh no
I need mercy

I pray one day that you will be with me, girl, I would never let you go

Mercy baby, mercy baby, mercy mercy mercy
I need mercy
I walk through fields that haunt my dreams
This time I fear it's broken me
I tasted you so brief yet sweet
The morning comes it's choking me
It's the way you always left me coming down
In a sea of painted whispers did I drown
I'm so tired, I'm so wired
It's not enough to pray for mercy I've tried
I'm so tired, I'm so wired
It's not enough to pray for mercy I've tried
I battle through these thunderclouds
To find my way to fields of gold
Somehow I always see your face
Things aren't always what they seem
Pretenders all just falling at your feet
C'mon love, I reached the tree now let me see
It's the way you always left me coming down
In a sea of painted whispers did I drown
I'm so tired, I'm so wired
It's not enough to pray for mercy I've tried
I'm so tired, I'm so wired
It's not enough to pray for mercy I've tried
And they say that you can reach the sky
Upon your knees and without pride
I'm screaming but my needs have chained me to the ground
I was headed for the border, trying to get back on my feet
Though the nights were getting colder, I'm remembering the heat
My desire burning like flame, like the desert wants the rain
Calling like a freight train, coming back to you again
And I say mercy , mercy me, I can't get no peace
I say mercy, mercy me, I can't get no peace
I was feeling so much older, this wicked world seemed cruel and hard
'Til I laid my weary shoulders on a bed of california stars
Was it something in the moonlight ? souls were stirring up the air
She has the face of a saint
Has the grace and the strength
She’s the one who talks the language of love…
She’s a friend who is always home
Gives more than you or I could ever know
She talks the language of love…
[Lead:]
She’s not afraid, of the fight
She’s not afraid, to pay the price
She knows what it means
She knows what we need
[Chorus:]
Mercy
Oh sweet mercy
Don’t stop talking' to me mercy yea
Sweet, sweet mercy
Keep on talking' to me
She’ll take the hand of the believer
Wash the feet of the deceiver
She always speaks the language of love…
She’ll cry with the crier
Lay down her life for the liar
She has become the language of love…
[Lead:]
[Chorus:]
[Lead:]
Oh yea!
[Chorus:]
Oh yea mercy!
Sweet mercy
Don’t stop talking' to me mercy yea
Sweet, sweet mercy
Keep on talking' to me
This is the point of no return
The place where we must look around
And remember
This is the time of contemplation
The second of eternity
We are mortals
Needing signs of love from one another.
We are the children of Adam
The inheritors of Eve
And the fruit of Death
We must be careful where we tread
Must be careful what we say
Lest we loose our way
In time everyone falls, in time everyone calls
For Mercy on the children
Mercy on the Sons of Men
This fear of suffering
Pulls us to our feet
Makes us stand up tall
Wondering where evil men get the gall … Mercy.
We must have mercy to survive
Must have Mercy to give life - In the springtime
All of the scapegoats have been loosed
The Slaughtered Lamb is on the Tree - The Tree of Life
Showing signs of love to one another.
We must forgive our fellow man
Just as we have been forgiven - It’s the only way
Peace, she is the lifeblood of this land
She’s the only way a pierced hand
Marching with purpose
To show him that I'm right
Threatening our values
Some people just deserve to die
These broken cities (serve a purpose)
These ugly times will spring anew
A life where none are threatened
By evil minds that run askew
Lust! Greed! Fear will leave no room for
Pain! Tears! Voided by submission
Lust! Greed! Fear will leave no room for
Pain! Tears! Eradication!
Separated by the faults we find in love
Belittled, Uninspired, My swollen throat is tired
And the soldiers keep on marching
Thought it all seems so surreal
But in this building that we enter
The smell of death is so severe
Rifle fire opens from the seventh floor
Scrambling up the stairs
To kick open the door
Across the bloodstained hallway
I saw mercy conquer hate
I screamed with desperate blame and passion:
"You let the fucker get away!"
Lust! Greed! Fear will leave no room for
Pain! Tears! Voided by submission
Lust! Greed! Fear will leave no room for
Pain! Tears! Eradication
What embarrassment I bore
Just fall in with accord
But you preach those empty words:
Mercy ringtone on your mobile phone
I don't doubt your heart
I won't make you tell
I won't break your arm
I won't make you cold
I won't waste your time
I don't think you're wrong
Already suffered
Enough to last for two lives
Not half as much as most guys
Mercy Mercy Mercy
You won't stay alone
You don't see yourself
You don't mean your words
Already suffered
Enough to last for two lives
Not half as much as most guys
I used to take your loyalty for granted
I could have bet my life on you
That's why it hurt so bad to find out
How you took me for a fool
So please don't come and tell me
That we can still make a brand new start
You 've shown your talent for treason
And today I know who you really are
There's no turning back and
Don't beg for mercy 'cause you sealed your fate
You had all your chances but now it's too late
Don't beg for mercy when all hope is gone
You've got to pay for all that you've done
Before I learnt, you thought you were so clever
As the crooked master of the game
Now you must face the consequences
With no-one but yourself to blame
So please don't come and tell me
That we can still find an easy way out
I've got no room for forgiveness
You just fell from grace, you'd better give up the fight
Or you could only make things worse and
Don't beg for mercy 'cause you sealed your fate
You had all your chances but now it's too late
Don't beg for mercy when all hope is gone
You've got to pay for all that you've done
Don't beg for mercy 'cause you sealed your fate
You had all your chances but now it's too late
Don't beg for mercy when all hope is gone
You've got to pay for all that you've done
Don't beg for mercy 'cause you sealed your fate
We pull away from shore, and so we close the doors we've opened,
File away our fears, release today, embrace tomorrow
We feel our feelings lie; we see the way but not the exits
Reality we fight; we dream escape but wake the captured
Is your world so cold outside that we have no ties?
Are the walls we build between us closing in?
You can't deny... Mercy
You can't deny... Mercy
Can anybody help me?
We turn away from scorn and leave the past alone
Pardon what we know, release each day away, but we never go...
Never go to... Mercy
Is your world so cold outside that we have no ties?
Are the walls we build between us closing in?
You can't deny... Mercy
You can't deny... Mercy
You can't deny... Mercy
You can't deny... Mercy
I love you mercy, mercy.
Oh, you know, you're such a beautiful thing.
You're laying kisses on me girl
All you know all the pleasure it brings,
Ah, ah, ah, ah.
You're spending all my money,
And you're making me crawl up the wall.
Mercy, mercy
You're doing me without any mercy at all,
And I'm calling you:
Have mercy, mercy have mercy on me.
Have mercy, mercy, mercy on me.
A man's supposed to be stronger
And is used to getting his way, ah,
But mercy girl you got my number,
And I'll do any thing that you say.
But stop playing with me.
Have mercy, mercy have mercy on me.
Mercy
I’m waiting for the sun to shine
Mercy
I’m waiting for the sun to shine
Standing here against the night
But there’s beauty upon our sight
If it don’t kill you it’ll hurt you some
If it don’t kill you it’ll hurt you some
Mercy build and mercy break
Yours to give and yours to take
And when the world tries to call you away
You say
Mercy
I’m waiting for the sun to shine
Mercy
I’m waiting for the sun to shine
And all this cathedral that you have in your eyes
Is violent revealing from the ground to the sky
Is it warm or is it cold
Is it young or is it old
And if you cant touch the naked body of her soul
She will fall asleep on you
The world will tell you what to do
Till the hands and guns and hearts and songs
They say mercy
Mercy
I’m waiting for the sun to shine
Mercy
I’m waiting for the sun to shine
Mercy
I’m waiting for the sun to shine
Mercy
I’m waiting for the sun to shine
[verse 1]
in my eyes she can do no wrong
in her mind i'm a little child
she's the words in my favorite song
but to her i am juvenile
[verse 2]
i'm the love she will never love
i'm the friend that she calls a friend
and if i'm not the careful crush
i'll be one heart, one man and then
[chorus]
mercy mercy have on me
leave me broken but leave me be
distance hurts a thousand miles
so stay where you are for a little while
and mercy mercy sing my song
lyrics always felt so wrong
sell my soul to change the rhyme
make you wanting and make you mine
[verse 3]
in her mind i'm a troubled soul
i've pretended and played it cool
there's a place where i don't belong
and myself i have made a fool
[chorus]
mercy mercy have on me
leave me broken but leave me be
distance hurts a thousand miles
so stay where you are for a little while
and mercy mercy sing my song
lyrics always felt so wrong
sell my soul to change the rhyme
make you wanting and make you mine
[chorus]
mercy mercy have on me
leave me broken but leave me be
distance hurts a thousand miles
so stay where you are for a little while
and mercy mercy sing my song
lyrics always felt so wrong
sell my soul to change the rhyme
Here I am a sinner, broken and in need of you
Take my life and wash my fears away
For you are the great I am, rest assured I feel Your hands
Holding me until the darkness clears
My life is yours forever, my heart will always know
Flirting with disaster,
Oh she'd do it if I asked her
If I, was your master, mister
Gonna get em up faster.
Gotta get some baby, gotta get it, put it in,
Cause you're never gonna win, if your never gonna sin,
You gotta get some baby, gotta get it, put it in,
How quick you get 'em up when we get down!
THROW YOUR HANDS UP DIRTY!
YOU'RE A SINNER! YOU'RE A SINNER!
I KNOW THAT YOUR GUILTY, YOU'RE AT THE MERCY OF ME!
I see you, trying to escape this!
You run and you crawl and you hide, oohoh
You think I'm just a helpless little girl with no strength man!
But I got it all, pent up inside!
Gotta get some baby, gotta get it, put it in,
Cause you're never gonna win, if your never gonna sin,
Gotta get some baby, gotta get it, put it in,
How quick you get 'em up hen we get down!
THROW YOUR HANDS UP DIRTY!
YOU'RE A SINNER! YOU'RE A SINNER!
I KNOW THAT YOUR GUILTY, YOU'RE AT THE MERCY OF ME!
We've got something we're all hiding,
deep inside our minds and we can't seem to dig it out,
We've all go those skeletons inside our closets.
We've all got those things that nobody should know,
the things that'll break you, and people mistake you for criminals,
culprits that don't have a soul.
Funny thing is that most of the accusers are too the abusers right out of control,
living outside of their minds.
We all have different vices and prices to pay don't you know?
We've got something we're all hiding, deep inside our minds and we can't seem to dig it out, We've got something we're all hiding, deep inside our minds and we can't seem to dig it out!
THROW YOUR HANDS UP DIRTY!
YOU'RE A SINNER! YOU'RE A SINNER!
On this cold November day
You will see me smilin'
Oh but it's been a while
Since I could laugh again
Talkin' with my friends
And now you'll hear me sayin'
Oh now that I'm ok
Give me time
To get you off my mind
'Cause I've got too much going on
And I'm getting tired of crying
If you find when you you think of me
That you keep your head down
Is it still too soon to see
I'm at your Mercy
And it's true oh now what they say
It gets better by the hour
Better by the day
I move on in my simple way
Getting stronger every hour
Can you hear me,
Hear my words flow
In the air.
Across the ocean
Across the snow.
In the battle fields
Where the braves go,
Touch your feeling
Echo in your dreams
Hunt your soul...
But you see me
For I ll be in the wind.
Can’t you feel me
Feel my thoughts flow
Through the air,
Across the valley,
Across the snow
In the wars
Where the heroes go.
Reach your mind,
Make you blind
With love.
But you won’t see me
Seen you so many times before
Seen you often pass my door
You walked the streets all alone.
Lost in the crowd, face unknown
In the parks and cafe sitting quiite
Bieng alone dos you feel alright.
Recallin’ those days
Lost in the haze
Lonely nights and the silent ways
No friend to share your feeling
No one to smile to your dreams
Life goes by dreaming.
Lonesome soul wher’re you going in the cold
Lonesome soul driftin’ alone, no one to hold.
All you need is friend, lonesome soul.
You get high when the lights are low
Go to the bars where lovers go
Voices wishpering for some more.
How high you reach no body knows
In your empty room sleeping quite
Wake up lonely every night.
Thinking of the past
And all that’s lost
A loner with a broken heart.
No one to touch your feeling
No arms to hold you in your dreams
Days go on by dreamin’.
Lonesome soul what’s doing
Tired of the world.
Lonesome soul
Living alone growing cold
Lonesome soul whe’re you going’
Out in the cold.
Lone some soul driftin’ alone
No one to hold
There's a reason that I can't find oh oh
About a person in my life oh oh
When I try to reach out, my words are pushed away
No other reasons, nothing left to say
So you see I'm alone-oh oh oh
If you should want me to go, I'll go-oh oh
We could have turned these hard years
into nothing less than fine
There's no other reasons
We're running out of time
When I try to reach out, my words are pushed away
No other reasons, there's nothing left to say
Ba-da-Ba-da-da-Ba-ba-Ba-da Oh Oh
Love (Can Make You Happy)
Mercy
(written by Jack Sigler jr.)
Wake up in the morning with the sunshine in your eyes
And the smell of flowers blooming fills the air.
Your mind is filled with the thoughts of a certain someone - that you
love;
Your life is filled with joy when she is there.
Love can make you happy if you fine someone who cares
To giiiive a life time to you and who has a love to shaaare.
If you think you've found someone you'll love fooorevermore,
Then it's worth the price you'll have to pay (pay).
To have, to hold's important when forever is the phrase
That means the love you've found is going to stay.
Love can make you happy if you find someone who cares
To giiiive a life time to you and who has a love to share.
La-love, la-love
Love can make you happy.
Love can make you happy.
Love can make you happy.
Love...

Your eyes grew deep in hunger
Addiction too strong
You wanna move no longer
Lingerin too long.
Want yourself gear sky high
You just wanna fly
Burining yourself alive.
Escaping reality
Crowd and humanity
Laughing away at life
Feeling lonesome, feeling blue
Thinking you were borne to lose
A mistake to be alive.
It’s time you come to sense,
It's time for home again
Break free the chain
Of fear and pain
Babe, you gonna make it
You gotta make it
If you don’t wanna see us cryin’
Hey man, didn't mean to keep it from you
Hey man, didn't mean to bring things down
Hey friend, didn't mean to take her from you
Hey friend, didn't mean to cause any hurt
Hey girl, didn't mean to go off flyin'
Hey girl, didn't mean make you cry
Hey love, didn't mean to cause you worry
Hey love, didn't mean to keep you up
Out here in the city
Lights are bright
Out here in the city
I get in fights
Up here in the buildings
Things pulling at me
Up here in the buildings
Way too tight
Hey kids, didn't mean to skip a summer
Hey kids, didn't mean to spend no time
Hey son, didn't mean to go off playin'
Hey son, had a lot a work to do
Hey dear, quite a little trail you're leavin'
Hey dear, quite a long path you're on
Hey bird, quite a big nest you're building
Hey bird, quite a lot of time you've spent
Out here in the mountains
All is quiet
Up here in the mountains
No more fights
Out here in the meadows
Trees are grown
Out here on the river
Throwin' stones
Oh god, have mercy on me
Oh god, have mercy please
Oh branch, why do you have to come down on me
Oh axe, why do you have to fall so hard
Oh gun, why do you have to pull the trigger
Oh blade, why you have to cut so deep
Out here on the highway
Things rollin' by
Out here on the highway
Why oh why
Out here in the alone
Cries and moans
Out here in the grey stones
Dirt and bones
Oh god, have mercy on me
pull yourself togethertime to slow it up
the sad nasty weather
is enough
to shock the senses
into submission
the punishment is endless
and the signs just point and run
the future is key
but the past has a lock on me
I got a feeling that soon
mercy
is gonna let me be
set me free
let me be
good day for trying
to release the gloom
no need for violence
when you're doomed
to meet the morning
with a crooked toon
then without a warning
make it on time to the moon
the future is key
but the past has a lock on me
I got a feeling that soon
mercy
is going to let me be
set me free
let me be
could you dumb it down a bit?
could you do it soon?
if you dumb it down a bit
then I can make my move
would you get me out of this?
would you do it soon?
if you get me out of this
Heed my warning
Your tired eyes are starting to fail you
No light follows
On a path of descent
For you, there is no rest; no mitigation
Only fear and consequence
You walk a line that divides justice and revenge
Well, pray that justice finds you first
Fear not what you have done
Dread what I've become
Reigning terror down upon countless city streets,
To fulfill the lust of the wretched.
Your only predecessor's shame and the grip of exile tightens.
The shackles of morality dig deep into your wrists
But deeper still into the fabric of humanity.
Now we are empowered and will not succumb to this treachery
The truth reveals, the city is fine
The problem only lives inside of our minds
When you look at who's talking and what they have said,
It's clear your ideals are the ones that are dead
We will cleanse these city streets and wash away
The mistakes of our former brethren,
No longer human, but stricken from this earth
They have given up on themselves
Nothing more than a victim of consequence,
When the gut is empty
it makes a person sick
our hunger is the same
we are here to eat each other's pain
with mercy
When the tears are tasted
their poison is refined
our thirst is all the same
we are here to drink each other's pain
I love you
But I gotta stay true
My morals got me on my knees
I'm begging please stop playing games
I don't know what this is
Cos' you got me good
Just like you knew you would
I don't know what you do
But you do it well
I'm under your spell
You got me begging you for mercy
Why won't you release me
You got me begging you for mercy
Why won't you release me
I said release me
Now you think that I
Will be something on the side
But you got to understand
That I need a woman
Who can take my hand yes I do
I don't know what this is
But you got me good
Just like you knew you would
I don't know what you do
But you do it well
I'm under your spell
You got me begging you for mercy
Why won't you release me
You got me begging you for mercy
Why won't you release me
Why won't you release me
I'm begging you for mercy
Yes why won't you release me
I'm begging you for mercy
Why won't you release me
You got me begging you for mercy
Why won't you release me
You got me begging you for mercy
Why won't you release me
When I m drunk I dream of you, when I m dry its of you too.
I have my clothes tucked in my bag, in case you do not want me back.
And when I smile it wont be long, long again till I m on my own.
Oh on the street and with the poor, to drink until I can think no more.
So dream of lands far far away, and love to come to you some day.
And think of things that make you smile, if it s only for a while.
May the road rise up to meet you, may God have mercy on you.
Mercy
Mercy
Im waiting for the sun to shine
Mercy
Im waiting for the sun to shine
Standing here against the night
But theres beauty upon our sight
If it dont kill you itll hurt you some
If it dont kill you itll hurt you some
Mercy build and mercy break
Yours to give and yours to take
And when the world tries to call you away
You say
Mercy
Im waiting for the sun to shine
Mercy
Im waiting for the sun to shine
And all this cathedral that you have in your eyes
Is violent revealing from the ground to the sky
Is it warm or is it cold
Is it young or is it old
And if you cant touch the naked body of her soul
She will fall asleep on you
The world will tell you what to do
Till the hands and guns and hearts and songs
They say mercy
Mercy
Im waiting for the sun to shine
Mercy
Im waiting for the sun to shine
Mercy
Im waiting for the sun to shine
Mercy
Im waiting for the sun to shine
Well the summer held such sweetness, you could taste it
in the air
Then October came and autumn bore her child
Now the Mystic Knights and circus frights
Have locked up everywhere
And the twilight hasn’t answered for awhile
Mercy now, mercy now
When the twilight isn’t answering and the silence presses
down
I give myself to mercy where she’s found
Mercy now, mercy now
Well it’s ever close to mercy where I’m bound
In the long nights of the winter, when the I fear I’m too
alone
I am underneath her mercy
She comes riding me like mercy
Riding me like mercy
And I’m
I've journeyed far
I've slept out in the desert with the stars
I have felt the mystery
I've broken down
Seen my dreams fall like ashes to the ground
I've been my own worst enemy
But Your mercy
Is the sweetest gift to me
Your sweet mercy
Is the air I wanna breathe
I feel it washing over me
I've traveled long
And I've prayed for my vision to carry on
When my eyes just couldn't see
I've been betrayed
And I've fallen like a child along the way
I've been lost in revelry
I've felt ashamed
I've cursed the very sweetness of Your name
Yet Your grace still covers me
You breathe on me
I feel Your spirit flow like water to the sea
Through the deepest part of me
For Your mercy
Is the sweetest gift to me
Your sweet mercy
Has been so good to me
Your mercy
Is the sweetest gift to me
What's that you tried to pull over me?
You want a hook at the pit of me!
Want me to feel that I've done you wrong
You want a hook at the pit of me
I really wanted to love this world
I really wanted to love this world but I can't
See romance in a maze of debasement, now can I?
I really wanted to love this world
I really wanted to love this world but I can't
See romance in the open mouth on the face of a cannibal
Well something should have happened, I went through the motions
I made all the switches and bogus accounts
Solvency, ate all the words, have you got anymore?
Show me mercy
Show me mercy, Mary girl
Bury this here gun and play my widow
In the kitchen window
In the last of the falling sun
Show me mercy
Won't you nurse these wounds of mine
Rinse and sew me up
Baby your eyes are like a pale blue Chrysler
Drive us to the sun
Sure am thirsty
Show me mercy, Molly girl
Lift your pitcher to my mouth
Close your eyelids in the smoky silence
With your black hair falling down
Show me mercy
Show me mercy, Mary girl
Bury this here gun
With Jesus laughing, now you see what happens
When devils fall in love
Show me mercy
Smokestack curse the churchyard air
Where a virgin weeps for us
With Jesus laughing in the breezy blackness
Mercy (Chris Jonat)
All the children met
In day cares and nightclubs
Discussed finger paints and body rubs
They embraced it all
It hasn't happened yet
But pretty soon they will fall flat
Alcohol will take the edge off that
Ease the pain if not the fall
You gotta take off your hat, force a bow
Wipe that sweat right off your brow
Look her in the eye and try for mercy
And so the story grows
I got kind of wired and
I drove the snakes from Ireland
And then I broke for lunch
If you want a small nose
Give honesty a try
But if you gotta lie
You may as well lie a bunch
Hello, how are you? I like you plenty well
If you get bored here, there's always the hotel
We can order in, and turn off the ringer
