lyrics

Mercy, mercy I cried
To the hex of the sword
The healer devine
But mercy
Kept me marching
In line

Mercy, mercy I cried
To the deepest of voids
The wrinkles in time
But mercy
Couldn't undo
This bind

There's no time like the present
The future's coming fast
Darling, you're stuck living
In the past
There's no place like tomorrow
When you need to get away
Though i promise
That this time I'll stay

Mercy, mercy i cried
To the shapeless earth
Holy mother of mine
But mercy
Couldn't pay for
Your crime

Love me, love me so fine
A beast with no soul
But with human in her eyes
Shes never
Known mercy
In her life

There's no time like the present
The future's coming fast
Darling, you're stuck living
In the past
There's no place like tomorrow
When you have to run away
Oh i swear it
That next time I'll stay

And when I finally say I love you
You'll know that its a lie
Just another way of saying goodbye
