[Intro 1]
[Em]
[D][C]
[Em]

[Verse 1]
[Em]The earth was new,
a great frontier
The perfect place to spread his fear
[D]So satan set up shop to draw them in
Bright [Em]lights to display all his wares
"Come on in, forget your cares"
That [D]devil knew just how
to package [G]sin
People [C]came from [D]far [Em]an d wide
Not a [C]guilty [D]soul [Em]denied
But before they knew they'd been
deceived
[D]They'd step inside and never [Em]leave
They said his eyes were black as coal
His voice a shudder to the soul
He [D]preyed upon the broken and the proud
He [Em]told them they were lost for good
No one loved them and who would
Be[D]fore too long he owned
that fallen town
And from in[C]side the [D]gates
[Em]they'd wail:
Who can [C]save us [D]from [Em]this hell?
And as their hopes turned
into tears
[D]He laughed and all his demons
stood [Em]and cheered
Then [F#m]down a dirt road from the east
Came one, they said, could slay the beast
But [E]did not fight with bullets or a sword
They [F#m]called him Mercy and at his side
A thousand angels chose to ride
And [E]as they moved, the ground,
like thunder, roared
Stepping [D]down from [E]his white [F#m]horse
And with a [D]supernat[E]ural [F#m]for ce
He spoke to his demonic foe
"I'm [E]here to keep the
law so let them [B]go"
But that great [F#m]deceiver only grinned
As his demons rallied to defend
He [F#sus4]said: "The price
of justice must be paid!"
So [F#m]Mercy, rising from his seat
Showed them all his hands and feet
And said: "I [F#sus4]am the lamb[F#m]
that was [B]slayed"
Then the [D]demons [E]and their [F#m]thief
[D]Stheir heads in [E]disbe[F#m]lief
And began [C#]to writhe upon
the ground
When they saw he held the keys
to their [F#m]ghost [E]town[B]
Then [D]one by one the slaves began to shout
[A]And the captives found their way out
[B]Mercy broke the chains
[C#]and they cried out:
[F#]Freedom
[A]Freedom
[B]Freedom
[D]Mercy broke the chains
and they cried out:
[F#]Freedom
[A]Freedom
[B]Freedom
Then [D]one by one the slaves began to shout
[A]And the cap[D]tives fou[A]nd their way out
[B]Mercy broke the chains[A]
[F#m]and they cried out:
[F#]Freedom[F#m]
[A]Freedom
[B]Freedom
[D]Mercy broke the chains
and they cried out:
[F#]Freedom[E]
[A]Freedom
[B]Freedom
Then [D]one by one the slaves began to shout
[A]And the captives found their way out
[B]Mercy broke the chains and they cried out:
Freedom
[F#]Freedom[F#m][A][B][D][E]
Freedom
