- The Mercy Seat Lyrics / with translationsInto the mercy seat I climb
My head is shaved, my head is wired
And the mercy seat is waiting
And I think my head is burning
Anyway I'm yearning to be done with all this weighing up of 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
In heaven his throne is made of gold
And the Ark of his Testament is stone
A throne from which I'm told all nations do unfold
Down here I'm made of the wood and wire
And my body is on fire
And God is never far away
My head is shaved, my head is wired
And the mercy seat is waiting
And I think my head is burning
Anyway I'm yearning to be done with all this weighing up of truth An
eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth And anyway I told the truth And
In heaven his throne is made of gold
And the Ark of his Testament is stone
A throne from which I'm told all nations do unfold
Down here I'm made of the wood and wire
And my body is on fire
And God is never far away
