Father forgive me for I know what I've done I rise to the call of the wild like the moon to the western sun The blood on my hands shows me how to survive Living on the edge in the end nobody gets out alive Sold it to the preacher stolen from the altar Salvation for a nominal fee Took it to the river, drowned it in the water Won't you have some mercy on me Won't you have some mercy on me High on the mountain there is nowhere to hide But you won't find the truth there it's in the darkness buried deep inside Took your creation and then changed it and rearranged it Rock and roll sold it's soul, and all we tryna do is save it This ain't a revival, it's a new revolution Guillotine for the murderous fiends pushing lies and confusion Tell heaven's gallows that they'll just have to wait The devil's in the details, hidden in the mirror your hand holds to your face Sold it to the preacher stolen from the altar Salvation for a nominal fee Took it to the river, drowned it in the water Won't you have some mercy on me Won't you have some mercy on me Sold it to the preacher stolen from the altar Yeah Salvation for a nominal fee Took it to the river, drowned it in the water Yeah Won't you have some mercy on me Won't you have some mercy on me Won't you have some mercy on me
