mercy

• tender prey albümünden bir nick cave and the bad seeds şarkısıdır. yanıklığını sevmişimdir oldum olası.
  
  stood in the water
  in the middle month of winter
  my camel skin was torture
  i was in a state of nature
  the wind, sir, it was wicked
  i was so alone
  just as i predicted
  my followers were gone
  
  and i cried `mercy'
  have mercy upon me
  and i got down on my knees
  
  thrown into a dungeon
  bread and water was my portion
  faith - my only weapon
  to rest the devil's legion
  the speak-hole would slide open
  a viper's voice would plead
  thick with innuendo
  syphilis and greed
  
  and she cried `mercy'
  have mercy upon me
  and i told her to get down on her knees
  
  in a garden full of roses
  my hands, tied behind me
  my cousin was working miracles
  i wondered if he'd find me
  the moon was turned toward me
  like a platter made of gold
  my death, it almost bored me
  so often was it told
  
  and i cried `mercy'
  i cried mercy on me
  cried `mercy'
  have mercy on me
