The Mercy Wheel

Ain't no one in line, 

I take out my heart,

and then I fire it from a cannon

With such a sound over the hills and 

every trouble is abandoned



Into the mercy wheel, 

See it spinning in the twilight 

Tell me how do you feel, 

like a hard blow in a bar fight



And its a Mississippi night 

with the heavens wheeling bright



(instrumental break)



A golden ring, a halo for you every 

time you find your Christ 



Hear the demons sing 

as you place your head in the mouth of a lion



Into the mercy wheel, 

See it spinning in the twilight 

Tell me how do you feel,

like a hard blow in a bar fight



And its a Mississippi night

with the heavens wheeling bright

And I dont hold on so tight
