 C    G            Em       D
Help me, I’ve fallen on the inside
             C         G               Em     D
I tried to change the game, I tried to infiltrate
                     C       G
But now I'm losing, men in cloaks
                Em       D
Always seem to run the show
                   C          G
Save me from the ghosts and shadows
             Em     D
Before they eat my soul

 C  G
Mercy
 Em D
Mercy

Chorus:
         C  G
Show me Mercy
          Em          D
From the powers that be
         C  G
Show me Mercy
             Em     D
Can someone rescue me?

Absent gods in silent tyranny, we're going under:
Hypnotised by another puppeteer and
Tell me why the men in cloaks
Always have to bring me down
We're running from the ghosts and shadows
The world just disavows

Mercy
Mercy

Chorus:
        C  G
Show me Mercy
          Em          D
From the powers that be
         C  G
Show me Mercy
             Em     D
Can someone rescue me?

G
Show me Mercy please
Show me Mercy please

 C    G
Help me
            Em     D
I’ve fallen on the inside
             C       G
And all the men in cloaks
           Em        D
Trying to devour my soul

Chorus:
Show me Mercy
From the powers that be
Show me Mercy
From the gutless and mean
Show me Mercy
From the killing machines
Show me Mercy
Can someone rescue me?
