Johnny Cash - Mercy Seat слова песни

It all began when they took me from my homeAnd put me on Death Row,A crime for which I am totally innocent, you know.I began to warm and chillTo objects and their fields,A ragged cup, a twisted mopThe face of Jesus in my soupThose sinister dinner dealsThe meal trolley`s wicked wheelsA hooked bone rising from my foodAnd all things either good or ungood.And the mercy seat is waitingAnd I think my head is burningAnd in a way I`m yearningTo be done with all this weighing of the truth.An eye for an eye and a tooth for a toothAnd anyway I told the truthAnd I`m not afraid to die.I hear stories from the chamberChrist was born into a mangerAnd like some ragged strangerHe died upon the crossMight I say it seems so fitting in its wayHe was a carpenter by tradeOr at least that`s what I`m toldMy kill hand`s tatooed E.V.I.L.Across it`s brother`s fistThat filthy five!They did nothing to challenge or resist.In Heaven His throne is made of goldThe ark of his Testament is stowedA throne from which I`m toldAll history does unfold.It`s made of wood and wireAnd my body is on fireAnd God is never far away.Into the mercy seat I climbMy head is shaved, my head is wiredAnd like a moth that triesTo enter the bright eyeI go shuffling out of lifeJust to hide in death awhileAnd anyway I never lied.And the mercy seat is waitingAnd I think my head is burningAnd in a way I`m yearningTo be done with all this weighing of the truth.An eye for an eyeAnd a tooth for a toothAnd anyway I told the truthAnd I`m not afraid to die.And the mercy seat is burningAnd I think my head is glowingAnd in a way I`m hopingTo be done with all this twisting of the truth.An eye for an eye and a tooth for a toothAnd anyway there was no proofAnd I`m not afraid to die.And the mercy seat is glowingAnd I think my head is smokingAnd in a way I`m hopingTo be done with all these looks of disbelief.A life for a life and a truth for a truthAnd I`ve got nothing left to loseAnd I`m not afraid to die.And the mercy seat is smokingAnd I think my head is meltingAnd in a way that`s helpingTo be done with all this twisting of the truth.An eye for an eye and a tooth for a toothAnd anyway I told the truthBut I`m afraid I told a lie.
