lyrics

MERCY (Kavanagh)

Goldenbridge
Polluted waters
Bring your son Bring your daughter
Golden bars
Faraway stars
Lambs ready for the slaughter

Plots and Schemes
Walls and fences
Children serve a prison sentence
Broken dreams
Open menace
Nothing so heavy as emptiness

Mercy Mercy Heaven up there in the sky
God forgot our wings
Sister Brother Where is my Mother
God forgets a lot of things

Bitter kisses and poisoned lips
Shattering steel silence
Crucifixes and penguin slips
Nothing so heavy as emptiness
You will never be free of this
God made the bees and the bees make the honey, Mercy
Children do the work and the nuns get the money, Mercy
Little fingers bleed on your sacred rosary beads, Mercy
Children on their knees as Heaven starts to freeze
Mercy, Mercy, Mercy

You liar You thief
You swore to protect me

You liar You thief
You swore to protect me

You liar You thief
You swore to protect me

You liar You thief
You swore you swore
Mercy
