Have Mercy On Us

They have gone against your will,
Nobody remembers you anymore,
They have forgotten they are sons of the soil,
They fear your anger no more.

You who made them plain and simple,
Now look,
They have turned themselves complicated,
In your holy places they no longer assemble,
They're taking everything for granted,
Like chameleons they have turned out to be,
Changing themselves into different colours to suit their characters,
I wonder why you've let them be,
While their heads are filled with madness.

Why do you allow this to take place?
In your house they've placed "another you",
I saw it being carved at a funny corner in town,
It left my mouth wide open,
When I saw it in your holy shrine,
Please answer me,
Have you turned yourself into wood and stone carvings?
I saw them,
With my naked eyes,
Kneeling in front of that stone carving,
To it they were seriously praying,
When trying to interrogate,
I was thrown out,
Tell me,
Why have you allowed all these?

All your sheep have gone astray,
Each to their own way,
Enmity, greed, hunger for power have occupied them,
Money has turned to be their master,
People killing each other claiming it's holy war,
Is it true,
That by pouring blood we become holy?
That when we kill each other because of power, we are chosen by you?
You made man,
Man made money,
Money has turned man mad.

I run to you like a lost sheep,
I cry out loud to you like a starving child,
See how my eyes weep,
Your people have gone wild,
They have fully drowned into the deep ocean of sins,
Please don't let this happen,
I know you're our Almighty God,
Have mercy on us ooh Lord.
