|
I stood in the water |
|
In the middle month of winter |
|
My camel skin was torture |
|
I was in a state of nature |
|
The wind, sir, it was wicked |
|
I was so alone |
|
Just as i predicted |
|
My followers were gone |
|
And i cried `mercy' |
|
Have mercy upon me |
|
And i got down on my knees |
|
Thrown into a dungeon |
|
Bread and water was my portion |
|
Faith - my only weapon |
|
To rest the devil's legion |
|
The speak-hole would slide open |
|
A viper's voice would plead |
|
Thick with innuendo |
|
Syphilis and greed |
|
And she cried `mercy' |
|
Have mercy upon me |
|
And i told her to get down on her knees |
|
In a garden full of roses |
|
My hands, tied behind me |
|
My cousin was working miracles |
|
I wondered if he'd find me |
|
The moon was turned toward me |
|
Like a platter made of gold |
|
My death, it almost bored me |
|
So often was it told |
|
And i cried `mercy' |
|
I cried mercy on me |
|
Cryind `mercy' |
|
Have mercy on me |
