Mercy (Lyrics and Music by Pete Kavanagh) Goldenbridge Polluted waters Bring your son Bring your daughter Golden bars Faraway stars Lambs ready for the slaughter

Plots and Schemes Walls and fences Children serve a prison sentence Broken dreams Open menace Nothing so heavy as emptiness

Mercy Mercy Heaven up there in the sky
God forgot our wings
Sister Brother Where is my Mother
God forgets a lot of things Bitter kisses Poisoned lips Shattering steel silence Crucifixes and penguin slips Nothing so heavy as emptiness You will never be free of this God made the bees and the bees make the honey, Mercy Children do the work and the nuns get the money, Mercy Little fingers bleed on your sacred rosary beads, Mercy Children on their knees as Heaven starts to freeze Mercy, Mercy, Mercy

You liar You thief You swore to protect me
