Merciful Eyes

Demon of love
Seraph of treason
Heaven above
Show me the reason

Was the ruler of darkness the angel of light?
Did I wake up one morning a creature of night?
Can a justified sinner discern wrong from right?

When I turn from your face
Render mercy and grace
Red blood rain from the sky
God have merciful eyes

Merciful eyes
Innocent tears
Day of the dancer
Heaven come near
Whisper the answer

Did the dead man rise when she entered the room?
Did I smell love decaying and call it perfume?
Should a justified man know the grave from the womb?

When I turn from your face
Render mercy and grace
Red blood rain from the sky
God have merciful eyes

Merciful eyes
Swear by the ghost
Promises are broken
Baby come close
Sorry words are spoken

Would the spirit of truth make a liar understand?
If I reach for the blue with my face in the sand
Could a justified slave call himself a free man?

When I turn from your face
Render mercy and grace
Red blood rain from the sky
God have merciful eyes

Merciful eyes
When I turn from your face
Render mercy and grace
Red blood rain from the sky
God have merciful eyes
Merciful eyes
