Mercy (feat. Lzzy Hale)

And as the willow leaves on the willow trees keep it shakin', as they do I'm gonna side-step 'em over this mountain and walk on waters blue Because the cretins lie and the police spy Waitin' for a miracle to come their way When they could and should've easily Turned their head unto the sky and pray They say, "Father, please have mercy for what we done" Let sleepin' dogs lie in the burnin' sun As the vultures spin and the culture's sin Lay waste to all we've come to know and love Well, and now honor and truth's a mile-long in the tooth Yet it's veracity we're dreamin' of So the broken smiles and the token milestones Come to make us all just what we are As we squeeze the souls snugly into the molds Unfit to harness but a shooting star We pray, "Father, please have mercy for what'n they done" Let lyin' dogs burn in the sleepin' sun Burn 'em up! Whoo! Here we go! Now the willow leaves, once as thick as thieves Wilt away with all our hopes and dreams Well, and a shadowy voice gives illusion o' choice All to silence the endurin' screams And so we face the dawn with a pistol drawn And repugnance burnin' in our soul Well, and the fury at hand storms from jury to stand As we draw near to the final toll We sing, "Father, we won't have mercy for what you've done Father, we'll never forgive you for what you've done Father, I'll never forgive you for what you've done" Goddamn!
