Dia Mundial da Poesia III (vertiginoso jogo de palavras)

And the mercy seat is waiting / And I think my head is burning / And in a way I'm yearning / To be done with all this measuring of truth. / An eye for an eye / And a tooth for a tooth / And anyway I told the truth / And I'm not afraid to die. / And the mercy seat is burning / And I think my head is glowing / And in a way I'm hoping / To be done with all this weighing up of truth. / An eye for an eye / And a tooth for a tooth / And I've got nothing left to lose / And I'm not afraid to die. / And the mercy seat is glowing / And I think my head is smoking / And in a way I'm hoping / To be done with all this looks of disbelief. / An eye for an eye / And a tooth for a tooth / And anyway there was no proof / Nor a motive why. / And the mercy seat is smoking / And I think my head is melting / And in a way I'm helping / To be done with all this twisted of the truth. / A lie for a lie / And a truth for a truth / And I've got nothing left to lose / And I'm not afraid to die. And the mercy seat is melting / And I think my blood is boiling / And in a way I'm spoiling / All the fun with all this truth and consequence. / An eye for an eye / And a truth for a truth / And anyway I told the truth / And I'm not afraid to die. / And the mercy seat is waiting / And I think my head is burning / And in a way I'm yearning / To be done with all this measuring of proof. / A life for a life / And a truth for a truth / And anyway there was no proof / But I'm not afraid to tell a lie. And the mercy seat is waiting / And I think my head is burning / And in a way I'm yearning / To be done with all this measuring of truth. An eye for an eye / And a truth for a truth / And anyway I told the truth / But I'm afraid I told a lie. Nick Cave - The Mercy Seat Carlos Malmoro
