I didn’t know What I had done So bright was the sun It blinded me Invited me in And I was hypnotized Mesmerized In its gaze ‘Til I was drowning in my ecstasy
Have mercy... on me
When the sun is gone In the dead of night And I have no strength left to fight I’m sorry Our story is done I stand here paralyzed Compromised Full of shame And so I sing this guilty rhapsody
Have mercy... on me
And I will never be so far gone I will admit when I am wrong And for my sins I will atone Because the blame is mine alone
