La Misericordia Bulla

Mercy for you, mercy from me.
Hosanna, mercy! Hosanna, me !

Dogma says “don’t”, doctrine says “whoa”!
Tradition says “halt”. Serviam? I say No.

Sin can be virtue, virtue be sin.
But mercy is mercy, Voila! Sin again.

Obstinate, harsh, rigid justice is wrong.
Mercy the prize, dance to my song.

Mercy the rock, the rock built on me.
So it is now and ever will be.

Mercy for all, unring the bell.
Satan is saved, though his real home is hell.

Mercy for you, mercy from me.
Hosanna, mercy! Hosanna, me!
