Severe Mercy - Deadman

I was standing I was standing so still

I thought I saw you walking there far away upon the hill

You looked at me with wounded eyes you told me it was a great surprise to be in

this place

I believed you when I saw you with the sadness that you displayed in your face

Mercy comes in times when we are unfulfilled

She sometimes wears a mask, she leans not to your will

And when her work is done you’re left wondering if you’re the living or the

killed

I was thirsty and she brought me a drink

I was hungry and she brought me food to eat

When I asked her for her love again she withdrew and went so far away

And I’m crawling back the temple’s closed I need someone to tell me what to say

Mercy is a thief who comforts in the night

She holds you in her arms in her eyes she has the light

And when she is awake she will throw you to floor out of spite

Crawling back up the hill where I can see I might fulfil the vow

Wondering if the evils done can some how over come but how?

Wounded all that I had

Broken beaten and sad

Mercy gives to those who ask and don’t deserve

And in her brutal arms you have to find the nerve

And when your heart is set on fire you’ll have to watch it burn

Teach me, teach me
