Mercy Seat

When I'm in the mercy seat I smile
And then I work and stand
All I ask is for release
No matter what the cost
There's only one way to bring a new day
By the key that gently turns my sickness into health

And you can taste the fire for yourself
And you can taste the fire for yourself
And then that blood begins to flow
There's nowhere else to go

I feel complete in the mercy seat
So complete in the mercy seat

So tie me to the mercy seat and hear me
If I promise not to flinch
And ring that bell as loud as you please
It can only mean well
There's only one way to bring a new day
How could you recall I'm just a man
And that's all I am

And you can taste the fire for yourself
And you can taste the fire for yourself
And then that blood begins to flow
There's nowhere else to go

I feel complete in the mercy seat
So complete in the mercy seat
