Have Mercy on Me

Have mercy on me, Lord, I have done wrong A crystal piano plays dreadful in my spleen A hatred and a desolater's song Here and there, in each part in between I have eaten the children and rained fire upon the old Dashed the newborn dead upon the rocks Plagued the cities, thrown families to the cold And turned backwards all the advancing clocks I am the mist-maker moving through the throng A cloud of carnage everywherе I roam Crystal piano plays the desolater's song Havе mercy on me, Lord, and bring me home
