"Rivers Of Mercy" lyrics

Well, the streets have started burning
There's trouble in the towns
Guess the devil loves his playground, that's for sure
I too often see the world through a veil of tears
Well, to hell with my immunity
Gonna hold you close
Till the shadows disappear

(Drop me in rivers of mercy, yeah)

If by magic, you mean the ocean
If by tragic, you mean the end
We weren't wrong, we were just hungry
For manna from Heaven
And come and drown me in the infinite sea

Drop me in rivers of mercy, yeah
Dare I imagine some faith and understanding?
Drop me in rivers of mercy, yeah
Bring out the dead tonight and bathe them in your sacred light to
Wash away the pain (Wash away the pain)
Save me from the shadows, yeah
Cry like a siren
The light on my horizon
Drop me in rivers of mercy, yeah

Show me mercy, miracle waters
Make me golden, part of the dream
We got stung
We were just lovers
Born of temptation
Slow down, river, and float me upstream

Drop me in rivers of mercy, yeah
Dare I imagine some faith and understanding?
Drop me in rivers of mercy, yeah
Bring out the dead tonight and bathe them in your sacred light to
Wash away the pain (Wash away the pain)
Save me from the shadows, yeah
Cry like a siren
The light on my horizon
Drop me in rivers of mercy, yeah

Spinning upside down
In the wake of mighty waves
See the anger of the world
When feelings run high
When feelings are so raw
We will give in to the night

Drop me in rivers of mercy, yeah
Dare I imagine some faith and understanding?
Drop me in rivers of mercy, yeah
Bring out the dead tonight and bathe them in your sacred light to
Wash away the pain (Wash away the pain)
Save me from the shadows, yeah
Cry like a siren
The light on my horizon
Drop me in rivers of mercy, yeah
