Lyrics Severe Mercy - Deadman

Severe Mercy

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
