Last time that I saw you, you were on the killing floor

Still I haven't panicked, come and pull the stitches tight
Still i haven't panicked, come and pull the stitches tight
No room for the panic, come and pull the stitches tight
No room for the panic, come and pull the stitches tight

There is late train to Mercy

But I hope it never comes

Well it moves like winter, it moves with brute force
Well it moves like winter, it moves with brute force
Well it moves like winter, leaves an empire in its course
Well it moves like winter, leaves an empire in its course

Heard the breakman holler: 'Cannot slow it down'
Heard the breakman holler: 'cannot slow it down'
Heard the breakman holler: 'Cannot slow it down'

But I hope it never comes
But i hope it never comes

Help me poor Melissa, hide the hope behind your door
Help me poor melissa, hide the hope behind your door
Help me poor Melissa, put the hope into your trust
Help me poor melissa, put the hope into your trust

Is the whole world big enough, for the bitter and the sweet ?
Is the whole world big enough, for the bitter and the sweet ?
Is the whole world big enough, for the wicked and the few ?
Is the whole world big enough, for the wicked and the few ?

There is late train to Mercy

But I hope it never comes
But i hope it never comes

But I hope it never comes
But i hope it never comes

Makes you beg, steal and borrow
Makes you beg, steal and borrow
So I hope it never comes
So i hope it never comes
There is late train to Mercy
There is late train to mercy
But I hope it never comes
But i hope it never comes
