| The earth was new, a great frontier
|
| The perfect place to spread his fear
|
| So satan set up shop to draw them in
|
| Bright lights to display all his wares
|
| «Come on in, forget your cares»
|
| That devil knew just how to package sin
|
| People came from far and wide
|
| Not a guilty soul denied
|
| But before they knew they’d been deceived
|
| They’d step inside and never leave
|
| They said his eyes were black as coal
|
| His voice a shudder to the soul
|
| He preyed upon the broken and the proud
|
| He told them they were lost for good
|
| No one loved them and who would
|
| Before too long he owned that fallen town
|
| And from inside the gates they’d wail:
|
| Who can save us from this hell?
|
| And as their hopes turned into tears
|
| He laughed and all his demons stood and cheered
|
| Then down a dirt road from the east
|
| Came one, they said, could slay the beast
|
| But did not fight with bullets or a sword
|
| They called him Mercy and at his side
|
| A thousand angels chose to ride
|
| And as they moved, the ground, like thunder, roared
|
| Stepping down from his white horse
|
| And with a supernatural force
|
| He spoke to his demonic foe
|
| «I'm here to keep the law so let them go»
|
| But that great deceiver only grinned
|
| As his demons rallied to defend
|
| He said: «The price of justice must be paid!»
|
| So Mercy, rising from his seat
|
| Showed them all his hands and feet
|
| And said: «I am the lamb that was slayed»
|
| Then the demons and their thief
|
| Stheir heads in disbelief
|
| And began to writhe upon the ground
|
| When they saw he held the keys to their ghost town
|
| Then one by one the slaves began to shout
|
| And the captives found their way out
|
| Mercy broke the chains and they cried out:
|
| Freedom
|
| Freedom
|
| Freedom
|
| Mercy broke the chains and they cried out:
|
| Freedom
|
| Freedom
|
| Freedom
|
| Then one by one the slaves began to shout
|
| And the captives found their way out
|
| Mercy broke the chains and they cried out:
|
| Freedom
|
| Freedom
|
| Freedom
|
| Mercy broke the chains and they cried out:
|
| Freedom
|
| Freedom
|
| Freedom
|
| Then one by one the slaves began to shout
|
| And the captives found their way out
|
| Mercy broke the chains and they cried out:
|
| Freedom
|
| Freedom
|
| Freedom |
