Song Lyrics

This is a mercy mission
From a faceless messenger
Who don't wanna see you hit
Here's the word, oh, listen to it

Somebody that you used to know
Is back in town you better go

This is a mercy mission
A voice you'll never hear again
From a southside call box
Oh, winged demons are the hardest to outfox

The same one you lost on the run
Gonna show you that it ain't no fun

You better get out of town
'Cause you're gonna get hit
I didn't wanna see you fail

This is a mercy mission
You'll find your schedule underneath the door
All of the arrangements have been made
Major expenses have been paid as you know

Don't forget the last details
Accept no parcels in the mail
