Mercy Bark

Lyrics

The most important shot you'll ever take is the one you never want The reaper came a week too late for my only son My boy, we were runnin' free 'til February come Now you can't walk or breathe, and you're begging for the gun Being a man is giving dignity and grace Even when you're killing a love you can't replace Oh, Copper dog of all that's sacred, we erase You will be the part of me that I forever chase That old dog was thе stoic prince of all he smellеd or seen How I grinned from ear to ear saying he belonged to me Now how the hand of time grips him like a thief All my pride took a ride into eternity Being a man is giving dignity and grace Even when you're killing a love you can't replace Oh, Copper dog of all that's sacred, we erase You will be the part of me that I forever chase Oh, how the mothers speak of strangers taking burdens that are hard I have no choice, you see, for I am he, and he is me And I will follow him into the dark With all my heart, a mercy bark Being a man is giving dignity and grace Even when you're killing a love you can't replace Oh, Copper dog of all that's sacred, we erase You will be the part of me that I forever chase
