Mercy

They say justice is blind

But let's open her eyes

Mercy

Mercy

They say justice is blind

But her hands aren't tied

Lined up in their Sunday best

Hand to Bible they did confess

Condemned to reap

What deceit had sown

In a deadly game of telephone

So now what will

We buy with his life

What can satisfy our appetite

Is it too late to make things right

Will we turn our back

Or join the fight for

Mercy

Mercy

They say justice is blind

But let's open our eyes

Mercy

Mercy

They say justice is blind

But her hands aren't tied

Words twist like long balloons

Shape what you want

Of this thing called truth

Bend and stretch till

The system breaks

Then wash your hands

Of their mistakes

Is it too late

To make things right

Will you change your mind

And save a life

When you're

On your knees at night

Do you pray for him

Or turn out the light
