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 down 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
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
If by tragic, you mean the end
We weren't wrong, we were just hungry
For manna from Heaven
And come and down me in the infinite sea
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
Make me golden, part of the dream
We got stung
We were just lovers
Born of temptation
Slow down, river, and float me upstream
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
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
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

I sense it is a sort of appeal or prayer to a higher power- the River of Mercy for freedom from emotional pain and the pain of loss, loss of a love, of innocence and decency.
