I Run - Årabrot

I run and I run

From horrid dreams

In its gelid sooth

Under the mattress, under the sheets

I ran and I ran from you

Oh, have mercy on me

I wrestled the deuce for you

Oh, have mercy on me

And I faltered because of you

Oh, have mercy on me

I woke to the weight of sin

Oh, have mercy on me

I run and I run

From aurorae

So heavy and grey

They turn to pitch-black afterlife

I run and I run

Too crooked to tell the truth

Too warped to plead for mercy

Knees too weak to kneel in prayer

I run and I run

From marbled masks

With hollow eyes

Crying diamonds

I ran and I ran from you

Oh, have mercy on me

I wrestled the deuce for you

Oh, have mercy on me

And I faltered because of you

Oh, have mercy on me

I woke to the weight of sin

Oh mercy on you
