I walked away from Mercy Out to the deepest woods Entered by the river At the only place I could Fed a fire and watched the smoke Like something climbing free Leaning like a ladder And calling after me That I could rise from what may shine Keep your place, surrender mine As if your name as old as time Waited like a song upon the tongue Of all the mercy begging to be sung I’ve made my peace with Mercy As quick as it may be To betray my confidence Is how I choose to see That what had come together Now are pieces in my hand Fraying at the knees That buckled long before we stand So I might rise from what may shine Keep your place, surrender mine SongtexteAs if your name as old as time Waited like a song upon the tongue Of all the mercy begging to be sung Begging to be sung The snow flies its confetti Like the end of a parade Leaves a vacant silence Knee-deep in the charade That here’s the end of hunger This feasting of the soul When all the while it’s waited For the light to swallow whole So I might rise from what may shine Keep your place, surrender mine As if your name as old as time Waited like a song upon the tongue Of all the mercy begging to be sung Aus Songtexte Mania
