about

Tale of inter-generational violence adapted from the Old Testament.

lyrics

Name of my love meant 'God's Mercy',
Met me at my stall when I was thirsty-
Came at noon begging me to shut,
Bringing pomegranates in a silver cup-
Name of my love meant 'God's Mercy'.

Name of my love meant 'God's Mercy',
Never hurt a man, no, he never hurt me;
Close my eyes, and I'm in his arms,
Tell no lies, he was kind and calm;
Name of my love meant 'God's Mercy'.

I met with Jehu in a sandstorm,
In the dead of night, trying to keep my hands warm;
Thin as sin, pale as a wraith, he said,
'If you dare, come and witness my faith'
I met with Jehu in a sandstorm.

If your children see me, tell them 'Run'-
God has taken Mercy, now I have none;
If he's Heaven's, he cannot be mine-
There were seven bullets in his spine-
If your children see me, tell them 'Run'.
