Rate Mercy
Artist : Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds Song : 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
