Paradise Lost - Mercy lyrics

You live for times of solace

Within a sign there's a promise

Don't lose all faith cause

You shake at night it's in

The art of the process

In another rhyme beyond this place

The healing's fast enough...

Done a thousand times a thousand ways

Until you've had enough

...It's mercy you're asking for

Cheating life by taking more

It's mercy you're asking for

Take my life or give me more...

The loss of prize possessions

To cure the mind's obsession

Could trade your soul for that

Normal life elite to all objections...

See beyond all tears and broken years

Your senses giving up

Lose all confidence at your expense

Your courage swallowed up
