I abegan to warm and chiEll
Toa objects and their fieElds,
A aragged cup, a twisted Emop
Thae face of Jesus in my sEoup
Thaose sinister dinner deaEls
Thae meal trolley's wicked whEeels
A ahooked bone rising from my fEood
Alal things either good or ungoEod.

CHORUS:
AmAmmag7
And the mercy seat is waiting
And I think my head is burning
a7And in a way I'm yearning
GTo be done with all this weighing of the truth.
G7An eye for an eye
FAnd a tooth for a tooth
[Fmag7]And anyway I told the truth
aAnd I'm not afraid to die.

I hear stories from the chamber
Christ was born into a manger
And like some ragged stranger
He died upon the cross
Might I say, it seems so fittingin its way
He was a carpenter
by trade
Or at least that's what I'm told

aMy kill-hand's tatooed E.V.EI.L.
aacross it's brother's fiEst
aThat filthy fiveE!
aThey did nothing to challenge or resEist.

In Heaven His throne is made of gold
The ark of his Testament is stowed
A throne from which I'm told
All history does unfold.
It's made of wood and wire
And my body is on fire
And God is never far away.
Into the mercy seat I climb
My head is shaved, my head is wired
And like a moth that tries
To enter the bright eye
I go shuffling out of life
Just to hide in death awhile
And anyway I never lied.

And the mercy seat is waiting
And I think my head is burning
And in a way I'm yearning
To be done with all this weighing of the truth.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth
And anyway I told the truth
And I'm not afraid to die.
And the mercy seat is burning
And I think my head is glowing
And in a way I'm hoping
To be done with all this twisting of the truth.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth
And anyway there was no proof
And I'm not afraid to die.
And the mercy seat is glowing
And I think my head is smoking
And in a way I'm hoping
To be done with all these looks of disbelief.
A life for a life
And a truth for a truth
And I've got nothing left to lose
And I'm not afraid to die.
And the mercy seat is smoking
And I think my head is melting
And in a way that's helping
To be done with all this twisting of the truth
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth
And anyway I told the truth
But I'm afraid I told a lie.
