Mercy

See my brothers fallin'
I hear Heaven callin'
The devil won't let me be
The flag is burnin'
But the world keeps turnin'
And when I die I'll die free
Lord, have mercy

Got me on my knees
Too much smoke, can't breathe
Headstone, rest in peace

Death grip on my soul
Chains won't let me go
Crucify my hope and watch me bleed
Lord, have mercy

See my brothers fallin'
I hear Heaven callin'
The devil won't let me be
The flag is burnin'
But the world keeps turnin'
And when I die, I'll die free
Lord, have mercy on me

Blinded by our hate
Twisted by our faith
Shoot, don't hesitate
Lord, have mercy

Too many lines crossed
How many lives lost?
The gun is cocked
With a bullet in your name

See my brothers fallin'
I hear Heaven callin'
The devil won't let me be
Can't you see?
The flag is burnin'
But the world keeps turnin'
And when I die, I'll die free
Lord, have mercy on me

I see mothers cryin'
Babies dyin'
Lord, won't you have some mercy?
I, I see flags are burnin'
Lord, the world keeps turnin'
Devil won't let me be, ah!
