Mercy Seat

When I' m in the Mercy Seat

I smile

And lay my weapons down

All I ask is for release

No matter what the cost

There' s only one way

To bring a new day

Apply the heat that gently turns

My sickness into health

But you can taste the fire for yourself

Yeah you can taste the fire for yourself

And when that blood begins to flow

There' s nowhere else to go

I feel complete in the Mercy Seat

So complete, in the Mercy Seat

So bind me to the Mercy Seat

And heal me

I promise not to flinch

And ring that bell as loud as you please

It can only make me well

There' s only one way

To bring a new day

Help me to recall I' m just a man

And that' s all I am

But you can taste the fire for yourself

Yeah you can taste the fire for yourself

And when that blood begins to flow

There' s nowhere else to go

I feel complete in the Mercy Seat

So complete, in the Mercy Seat

So complete, in the Mercy Seat
