Mercy Lyrics
The song Mercy is performed by Nick Cave & The Bad Seed .
Send Mercy Ringtone to your Cell
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
And just as I predicted
My followers were gone
I cried, mercy
Have mercy on me
And I got down on my knees
Crying mercy
Have mercy on me
And I got down on my knees
Thrown into a dungeon
Bread and water was my portion
And faith, my only weapon
To rest the devil's legion
The speak hole would slide open
A viper's voice would plead
A voice thick with innuendo
Syphilis and Greed
And she cried, mercy
Have mercy on me
I told her to get down on her knees
Crying, mercy
Have mercy upon me
And I told her to get down on her knees
A garden full of roses
My hands were tied behind me
My cousins working miracles
I wondered if he'd find me
A moon had faced toward me
Like a platter made of gold
My death, it almost bored me
So often was it told
And I cried, mercy
Have mercy on me
I dropped down to my knees
And I cried, mercy
Have mercy on me
And then it pushed me to my knees
Mercy
Have mercy on me
And I dropped down on my knees
Crying mercy
Hey, mercy, mercy
And I dropped down on my knees
Crying mercy
Oh have mercy
Have mercy
