[Intro] 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) [Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] 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 [Chorus] 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
