I once vowed to love your sister for a lifetime
Judge me as they pass by

A rainbow of feathers and shame fell upon my wicked hand
With your bony judgmental eye

Can judge me as they pass through this world
Mama, have mercy on my soul
Mama, have mercy on my soul

Only the peacocks and earthly things
I took your wild peacocks down to the sawmill
Lord have mercy on my soul, have mercy Lord
Lucy, my love, get inside my Grand Torino
I was the one that killed your father in the first world war
Cold dead moon don't stare at me
Lord have mercy on my soul, have mercy Lord
There's a million hungry insects there
Can judge me as they pass by
Took her to the altar and left her like a wind chime

Lord, he has my number under the thunder in his hand
And ground their bones into dust and blood meal
And man, they're going to eat you alive, yes, they will
I tell you little girl don't go into the jungle
That was the dawning of the age of the cannibal world
