never leave mercy behind

we can just watch the pitches
come flyin by
we can just let hell break loose
not know the reasons why
we can give up all our pardon
for gilt far less than gold
but can never leave mercy behind

all our days have been numbered
to infinity
with no algebraic calculations
to show us a way
no sacred geometry
will set the heart straight
and can ever leave mercy behind
every day, after long restless nights
every day, when the morning rises
I have to say, though my speech has lost its sight
I'll never leave mercy behind
heard yet another rumor
a war's beginning
never enough of what it takes
to keep the peace
though we're standing
on the eve of destruction
we'll never leave mercy behind
every day, after long restless nights
every day, when the morning rises
I have to say, though my speech has lost its sight
I'll never leave mercy behind
