"Save Some Mercy For Me" lyrics

"Save Some Mercy For Me"

When I wake and meet the edge of dawn
I pray the light will right my wrongs
I've wandered years with fading grace
Still searching for a sacred place

From the first breath to my breaking day
I chase the mercy that slips away

Save some mercy for me
I've walked the line with both saint and thief
Every truth is a wound, every lie a relief
Save some mercy for me

What do you see when you call my name?
A sinner's spark or a holy flame?
I've danced with darkness just to find
The shadow knows my state of mind

And in this world where faith decays
I still bend down, I still try to pray

Save some mercy for me
I've walked the line with both saint and thief
Every truth is a wound, every lie a relief
Save some mercy for me

The sky burns low, the angels turn
The world forgets but I still yearn
What is truth when hearts deceive?
I break, I rise, I still believe

Save some mercy for me
The fire consumes, but it sets me free
Every step pulls me closer to peace
Save some mercy for me

And when the dawn becomes the flame
I'll bear the weight, I'll take the blame
Oh mercy, mercy, set me free
Save some mercy for me
