Oh the usual systems of mercy,
They are departed and gone,*
The machine has broken down,
The mechanism is all wrong
And it's grace and it's sin and it is free will
It's the inevitable fall of this man,
And this cycle is vicious and small
And spins on a ha'penny's span
It is a never decreasing, deceasing circle,
And It or I will brake,
(Or I am stuck as i am)
And the systems of mercy
Sin Cycle Confess,
Must give way
To a man,
Christ, can I be what I am?
* Alusion to 'The Sisters of Mercy' by Leonard Cohen.
