Merciful Eyes Songtext
von The Choir

Demon of love
Seraph of treason
Heaven above
Show me the reason
Was the ruler of darkness the angel of light?
Did I wake up one morning a creature of night?
Can a justified sinner discern wrong from right?

CHORUS
When I turn from your face
Render mercy and grace (mercy and grace)
Red blood rain from the sky (rain from the sky)
God have merciful eyes, (merciful eyes) merciful eyes


Innoncent tears
Day of the dancer
Heaven come near
Whisper the answer
Did the dead man arise when she entered the room?
Did I smell love decaying and call it perfume?
Should a justified man know the grave from the womb?

CHORUS

(Merciful eyes)

Swear by the Ghost
Promises broken
Baby, come close
Sorry words spoken
Would the Spirit of Truth make a liar understand?
If I reach for the blue with my face in the sand?
Could a justified slave call himself a free man?

CHORUS

Merciful eyes
Merciful eyes
Merciful eyes
