MERCY
The city’s on fire
There’s death in the air
Followed the sirens to the crime scene
But I was already there
We're all watching and waiting
While the refuge of hope burns
Is there anything worth saving?
We got nowhere to turn
I’ve walked these streets in ruins
I've heard all the stories
The faint whispers
Of coming glory
But it's a carnival of chaos
As festival of fools
There are wolves in the pulpits
Snakes in the pews
I’m calling out for mercy
Mercy come and rock my soul
I’m calling out for mercy
Mercy come and rock my soul
Mercy come and rock my soul
If I had my way
I'd tear this building down
Start all over
In some other town
Maybe I’m holding out
For a sign from above
Heavenly choirs
Angels or a dove
Chorus
Now I'm staring down darkness
Of the deepest kind
Barely holding on to this hope
That’s yours and mine
If ever we needed it
We need it right now
Tell me you’re with me
And never back down
