Whoa, death, have mercy
Hah, death, have mercy
Oh, death, have mercy
Spare me over another year
If I was a flower in my bloom and
Make death cut me down so soon
Oh, death, have mercy
Hah, death, have mercy
Oh, death, have mercy
Spare me over another year
Fallen in you like I resolve something new
Like I belong in dispute
Proof in the pudding, balance in my footin'
I stood where I could, now I'm fallin' for you
Coulda sawed me in two pieces
Heart on my sleeve and the blood coulda drew leeches
You a fantasy, and one I plan to keep
Drawing lines in the sand that'll reach between two beaches
I'm sure of it, walking hand in hand
Makin' a plan to go and get to the core of it
My heart's iron-solid, you make ore of it
My entire mind and body for sure toughened
You gotta love it
Have mercy on me, I don't know more's coming
I can't force it, you lord above it
Praise you, I of course covet
Implore you to bring another morning, I'm mourning
Those who never knew you, nor them still wishing you'd ignore them
Hoping I'd be more important
Your love I need more than portions, blood coursin'
I feel it morph, and I'm wonderin'
Oh, what is this that I can't see
Cold icy hands all over me
Oh, death, have mercy
Hah, death, have mercy
Oh, death, have mercy
Spare me over another year
Could I live for you 'til your list gets 'spanded?
I'm again born new, could I begin adorned, too?
I know many get lost, I feel I'm torn, too
I know you pull strings, I feel I'm more in tune
Now that it's my turn
This is between us, feel like my life's curse
Feelings come out in the dark, limited spark, I know that light work
Wool over eyes, pull it apart
Tell me where the infinite start
End in a split second
Mercy on my soul, no I can't quite catch it
Though it's for sure definite
And you voicing your name is the most deafening
Oh, this is the way that death begins it
Close your eyes and stretch your limbs
Oh, death, have mercy
Hah, death, have mercy
Oh, death, have mercy
Spare me over another year
Just spare me over another year
