Alone sits a man with his face in his hands
And he's saying Mercy
I need Mercy I need
He only longs to right all his wrongs
And he's saying Mercy
I need Mercy I need
But I don't know how to get it
Because there's no one left to give it
And I don't know how to fix it
So I got to keep on asking
For Mercy
Mercy for me
A woman in black spreading ashes down a path
She mutters Mercy
I need Mercy I need
She lies in a bed of words she left unsaid
Now she's saying Mercy
I need Mercy I need
But I don't know how to get it
Because there's no one left to give it
And I don't know how to fix it
So I got to keep on asking
For Mercy
Mercy for me
A man walks a path that was sprinkled with ash
And he's thinking Mercy, Mercy, Mercy I need
Sees a woman in black with cloudy eyes
And as they pass she's saying Mercy, Mercy, Mercy I need
But I don't know how to get it
Because there's no one left to give it
And I don't know how to fix it
So I got to keep on asking
For Mercy
Mercy for me
