Mercy Bark Lyrics by Benjamin Tod

Songs I Swore I’d Never Sing

2022

The most important shot you’ll ever take is the one you never want
The reaper came a week too late for my only son
My boy, we were runnin' free ‘til February come
Now you can’t walk or breathe, and you're begging for the gun
Being a man is giving dignity and grace
Even when you're killing a love you can’t replace
Oh, Copper dog of all that’s sacred, we erase
You will be the part of me that I forever chase
That old dog was thе stoic prince of all he smellеd or seen
How I grinned from ear to ear saying he belonged to me
Now how the hand of time grips him like a thief
All my pride took a ride into eternity
Being a man is giving dignity and grace
Even when you're killing a love you can’t replace
Oh, Copper dog of all that’s sacred, we erase
You will be the part of me that I forever chase
Oh, how the mothers speak of strangers taking burdens that are hard
I have no choice, you see, for I am he, and he is me
And I will follow him into the dark
With all my heart, a mercy bark
Being a man is giving dignity and grace
Even when you're killing a love you can’t replace
Oh, Copper dog of all that’s sacred, we erase
You will be the part of me that I forever chase
