Mercy on my Grave

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
