Lord Have Mercy
I caught a glimpse of your body by the river, I was alone and the sky went foreverI was the one that killed your father in the First World WarI once vowed to love your sister for a lifetime, took her to the altarAnd left her like a wind chime that was the dawning of the age of the cannibal worldLord have mercy on my soul, have mercy Lord,Mama have mercy on my soulI took your wild peacocks down to the sawmill and ground their bones into dust and blood mealA rainbow of feathers and shame fell upon my wicked handLucy my love get inside my Grand Torino, I tell you little girl don't go into the jungleThere's a million hungry insects there and man they're going to eat you alive...Yes they willLord have mercy on my soul, have mercy Lord,Mama have mercy on my soulCold dead moon don't stare at me with your bony judgmental eyeOnly the peacocks and earthly things can judge me as they pass byCan judge me as they pass through this world, judge me as they pass byLord, he has my number under the thunder in his hand Aus Songtexte Mania
