 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
