These are the stories I've kept in hiding songs I've buried deep within it happens only on a soft slip of drunken influence that they've even been spoken And that somewhere is a place for strangers those above and those below when you've failed with flying colors somewhere is the place you go
It began with mercy and mercy is how it will end it began with mercy when mercy calls we all know who's answering
well me I never made me any family except these couple songs I wrote and I long for every number that I played when I was younger as I sing this ransom note for note I sing about my good friends drifting and where did all the good times go every word is dug up from a coffin every line reanimated for the sideshow
CHORUS
There is danger at the end of the story there is madness at the end of it all if you want someone to know for certain let them answer mercy's call when the band starts it's final number once upon a broken promised land in an ever ending story for a brief moment of glory we remember where it all began it began with mercy
