Текст (слова) песни: Nick Cave and The Bad Seed - Mercy
I 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 Cryind `Mercy` Have mercy on me
