Aventhis - Mercy On My Grave

 

I I walked this road with fire in my hands 

Every sin I’ve sown now stains this land 

Ain’t no preacher callin’ my name 

Ain’t no savior to take my blame 

 

Oh Lord, have mercy on my grave 

I’ve run too long, too far to save 

Let the rain fall down, wash my sins away 

Oh Lord, have mercy on my grave 

 

I hear the wind, it speaks in tongues 

It tells me time has come undone 

A shadow waits where the gallows stand 

With a rope in his hands and blood on the sand 

 

Oh Lord, have mercy on my grave 

I’ve run too long, too far to save 

Let the rain fall down, wash my sins away 

Oh Lord, have mercy on my grave 

 

The dust will settle, the sky burns red 

I’ll lay my soul where the lost men tread 

If heaven waits, it don’t wait for me 

Just the howlin’ wind and an empty dream 

 

Oh Lord, have mercy on my grave 

I’ve run too long, too far to save 

Let the rain fall down, wash my sins away 

Oh Lord, have mercy on my grave
