Mercy
Mercy mercy and save my soul
From here in the places I’ve come to know
Where the monsters live
So deep and hot
Their eyes so steamy, angry and bloodshot
I’ve been down here a thousand years
There’s no escape from all this fear
Where the monsters live
Inside my head
No sleep tonight my eyes so tear streaked red
Mercy mercy and save my life
From what I fear I’ll do tonight
When the monsters reign o’er thoughts of dread
The knife so sharp
And in my eyes so bloody red
I’ve lived down here a thousand years
And every day the same old fears
The dancing monsters light their fires
So full of hate and deep desires
Such deep felt fear and ice cold hearts
Mercy mercy and save my soul
From what I think
And what I think I want
From what I think
And what I think I know
From here in the places I’ve come to know
Where the monsters live
So deep and hot
Their eyes so steamy, angry and bloodshot
I’ve been down here a thousand years
There’s no escape from all this fear
Where the monsters live
Inside my head
No sleep tonight my eyes so tear streaked red
Mercy mercy and save my life
From what I fear I’ll do tonight
When the monsters reign o’er thoughts of dread
The knife so sharp
And in my eyes so bloody red
I’ve lived down here a thousand years
And every day the same old fears
The dancing monsters light their fires
So full of hate and deep desires
Such deep felt fear and ice cold hearts
Mercy mercy and save my soul
From what I think
And what I think I want
From what I think
And what I think I know
