"Mercy On My Soul" lyrics - EVERLAST

EVERLAST
"Mercy On My Soul"
(Erik Schrody)

A trust betrayed a rusty blade
Standing on edge
I walked a line, paid my fine
Hope I know the ledge
Actual facts, unnatural acts
Sins they take their toll
The angel and the jinn and the beast within
The fight to take control

Lord, have mercy on my soul
On my soul
On my soul
On my soul

Lord, I need ya like a junkie needs his drugs
Need ya like a baby boy needs his hugs
Need ya like a flower needs the sun
I need you like D. M. C needs Run

Love you like a Eskimos love the cold
Love you like a miner man love his gold
Love you like a fisherman love the sea
Love you like the flowers love the work bees

Standing up tall on top of the wall
Hoping I can fly
Angel and the jinn and the beast within' say I'm gonna die
