mercy seat
[04:43.37] Interpret signs and catalogue
[04:43.86] A blackened tooth, a scarlet fog
[04:44.36] The walls are bad. Black. Bottom kind
[04:44.62] They are the sick breath at my hind
[04:44.62] They are the sick breath at my hind
[04:44.90] They are the sick breath at my hind
[04:45.12] They are the sick breath gathering at my hind
[04:45.37] I hear stories from the chamber
[04:45.37] How Christ was born into a manger
[04:45.62] And like some ragged stranger
[04:45.87] Died upon the cross
[04:45.87] And might I say, it seems so fitting in its way
[04:46.12] He was a carpenter by trade
[04:46.37] Or at least that's what I'm told
[04:46.37] I tattooed E.V.I.L. across it's brother's fist
[04:46.62] That filthy five! They did nothing to resist
[04:46.87] In Heaven His throne is made of gold
[04:46.87] And the ark of his Testament is stowed
[04:47.12] A throne from which I'm told
[04:47.38] All history does unfold
[04:47.38] Down here it's made of wood and wire
[04:47.62] And my body is on fire
[04:47.87] And God is never far away
[04:47.87] Into the mercy seat I climb
[04:48.13] My head is shaved, my head is wired
[04:48.38] And like a moth that tries
[04:48.61] To enter the bright eye
[04:48.61] So I go shuffling out of life
[04:48.86] Just to hide in death awhile
[04:48.86] And anyway I never lied
[04:49.15] My kill-hand is called E.V.I.L.
[04:49.37] Wears a wedding band that's G.O.O.D.
[04:49.62] 'Tis a long-suffering shackle
[04:49.62] Collaring all that rebel blood
[04:49.89] And the mercy seat is waiting
[04:49.89] And I think my head is burning
[04:50.14] In a way I'm yearning
[04:50.37] To be done with all this measuring of truth
[04:50.63] An eye for an eye
[04:50.63] And a tooth for a tooth
[04:50.87] And anyway I told the truth
[04:51.12] And I'm not afraid to die
[04:51.12] And the mercy seat is a-burning
[04:51.36] And I think my head is flowing
[04:51.63] And in a way I'm hoping
[04:51.63] To be done with all this weighing up of truth
[04:51.87] An eye for an eye
[04:51.87] And a tooth for a tooth
[04:52.15] And anyway I told the truth
[04:52.37] And I'm not afraid to die
[04:52.62] And the mercy seat is glowing
[04:52.62] And I think my head is smoking
[04:53.12] In a way I'm hoping
[04:53.12] To be done with all these looks of disbelief
[04:53.37] An eye for an eye
[04:53.62] And a tooth for a tooth
[04:53.86] And anyway, there was no proof
[04:53.86] And nor a motive why
[04:54.13] And the mercy seat is melting
[04:54.38] And I think my blood is boiling
[04:54.62] In a way I'm spoiling
[04:54.62] All the fun with all this truth and consequence
[04:54.87] An eye for an eye
[04:54.87] And a tooth for a tooth
[00:00.00] And anyway I told the truth
[00:00.00] And I'm not afraid to die
