Mercy (Lyrics) THE NATIVE HOWL ft. Lzzy Hale - Lyrics 

As the willow leaves on the willow trees keep shaking as they do

I’m gonna side-step over this mountain and walk on waters blue

Because the cretins lie and the police spy, waiting for a miracle to come their way

When they could and should have easily turned their head towards the sky, and pray

 

They say:

Father, please have mercy for what we’ve done

Let sleeping dogs lie in the burning sun

 

As the vultures spin and culture’s sin lays waste to all we’ve come to know and love

And now honor and truth’s a might long in the tooth, yet it’s veracity we’re dreaming of

So the broken smiles and token milestones come to make us all just what we are

As we squeeze the souls snuggly into the molds, unfit to harness but a shooting star

 

We pray: 

Father, please have mercy for what they’ve done

Let lying dogs burn in the sleeping sun

Burn ‘em up!

 

Here we go!

 

Now the willow leaves, once as thick as thieves, wilt away with all our hopes and dreams

And a shadowy voice gives illusion of choice, all to silence the enduring screams

So we face the dawn with a pistol drawn and repugnance burning in our soul

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!

 

God damn
