W hat would be t he fi rst thi ng
You'd s ay to the L ord?
A nd the last t hing y ou wou ld dream
If you couldn't dr eam no more?
W on't you p lease h elp me to u nders tand
I s there no m ercy in this l and?
N o mercy in this l and.
Followed
Followed
Followed
Is there
the ri---ver 'til the river ran dry
my lo---ver 'til we said goodbye
you through sol--diers who fire on command
no mercy in this land?
T hese days I speak i n whis -pers
Travel o nly to and f rom
C ome close you'll see t he re d
Of a w ell bitten t ongue
T he righteous a nd the w retched
The h oly and the d amned
I s there no m ercy in this l and?
N o mercy in this l and.
Father left us down here all alone
My poor mo---ther is under a stone
With an aching heart and trembling hands
Is there no mercy in this land?
