Into 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
