AMEN

Mercy on me, baby, have mercy on me

Mercy, mercy

Hurtin' badly, I can see you're hurtin' badly

Hurtin', hurtin', hey

Mercy on me, baby, have mercy on me, mercy on me (Mercy, mercy)

I see you hurtin', see you, please have mercy on me, oh, ooh (Mercy, mercy)

This house was built with blood and bone

And it crumbled, yes, it crumbled

The statues they made were beautiful

But they were lies of stone, they were lies of stone

Trumpets blare with silent sound

I need to make you proud, tell me, can you hear me now?

Mercy on me, mercy, have mercy on me, yeah (Mercy, mercy)

Yeah, I can see you hurtin', see you hurtin' badly (Mercy, mercy)

I can see you hurtin', see you hurtin' badly

We'll say a prayer for what has been

We'll be the ones that purify our father's sins

American Requiem

Them old ideas (Yeah)

Are buried here (Yeah)

Amen (Amen)
