Mercy - Muse

Help me

I've fallen on the inside

I tried to change the game

I tried to infiltrate

But now I'm losing men in cloaks

Always seem to run the show

Save me from the ghosts and shadows

Before they eat my soul

Mercy, mercy

Show me mercy

From the powers that be

Show me mercy

Can someone rescue me

Absent gods and silent tyranny

We're going under hypnotised

By another puppeteer

And tell me why the men in cloaks

Always have to bring me down

Running from the ghosts and shadows

The world just disavows

Mercy, mercy

Show me mercy

From the powers that be

Show me mercy

Can someone rescue me

Show me mercy

Show me mercy please

Help me

I've fallen on the inside

And all the men in cloaks

Trying to devour my soul

Show me mercy

From the powers that be

Show me mercy

From the gutless and mean

Show me mercy

From the killing machines

Show me mercy

Can someone rescue me
