Lyrics

[Intro]
Mercy on me, baby, have mercy on me
Mercy, mercy
Hurtin' badly, I can see you're hurtin' badly
Hurtin', hurtin', hey
[Refrain]
Mercy on me, baby, have mercy on me, mercy on me (Mercy, mercy)
I see you hurtin', see you, please have mercy on me, oh, ooh (Mercy, mercy)
[Verse 1]
This house was built with blood and bone
And it crumbled, yes, it crumbled
The statues they made were beautiful
But they were lies of stone, they were lies of stone
Trumpets blare with silent sound
I need to make you proud, tell me, can you hear me now?
[Refrain]
Mercy on me, mercy, have mercy on me, yeah (Mercy, mercy)
Yeah, I can see you hurtin', see you hurtin' badly (Mercy, mercy)
I can see you hurtin', see you hurtin' badly
[Bridge]
We'll say a prayer for what has been
We'll be the ones that purify our father's sins
[Outro]
American Requiem
Them old ideas (Yeah)
Are buried here (Yeah)
Amen (Amen)
Written by: Beyoncé, Danielle Balbuena, Dave Hamelin, Tyler Johnson, Derek Dixie, Camaron Ochs, Ian Fitchuk, Darius Dixson
