Dream Academy - Mercy Killing Lyrics

I believe in love to the power of ten
I don't believe retaliation strikes can make amends
I believe, I believe again

I cut down the flags on the wooden ship
Sail stateless, keep the faith in protest
Against the wind

But when I look in your eyes I don't see anything
I see a love that died, cut down in a mercy killing
Looking for mercy, looking for mercy
Found it in your arms, don't look so sad
Looking for mercy

I believe in starting out again
I don't believe imaginary love can ever win
I want to believe again

I receive the lies that I can't resist
Idolize, this machine kills fascists
Specialized and refined in heart breaks relined
I'm a mercy killer

But when I look in your eyes I don't see anything
Now I've seen a love that died, cut down in a mercy killing
Looking for mercy, looking for mercy
Found it in my arms, woh, oh, oh, oh
Looking for mercy

Mercy on me
Killing degree

And if I run, am I free?
If I look back, will I see?
I'm killing again, mercy killing
And the very thing I do to you will be done to me

Looking for mercy, looking for mercy
I don't see anything now
I see a love that died, cut down in a mercy killing

Looking for mercy, looking for mercy
Found it in my arms, don't look so sad
Looking for mercy
