The Mercy Wheel

Aint 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
