The Mercy Seat
Nicholas Edward Cave, Mick Harvey
It all began when they took me from my home
And put me on Death Row
A crime for which I'm totally innocent, you know
I began to warm and chill
To objects and their fields
A ragged cup, a twisted mop
The face of Jesus in my soup
Those sinister dinner deals
The meal trolley's wicked wheels
A hooked bone rising from my food
And all things either good or ungood
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 weighing of the 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.
I hear stories from the chamber
Christ was born into a manger
And like some ragged stranger
He died upon the cross
Might I say it seems so fitting in its way
He was a carpenter by trade
Or at least that's what I'm told
My killed hands tattooed E.V.I.L.
across it's brother's fist
That filthy five!
They did nothing to challenge or resist
In Heaven His throne is made of gold
The ark of His Testament is stowed
A throne from which I'm told
All history does unfold.
It's made of wood and wire
And my body is on fire
And God is never far away
Into the mercy seat I climb
My head is shaved, my head is wired
And like a moth that tries
To enter the bright eye
I go shuffling out of life
Just to hide in death awhile
And, anyway, I never lied
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 weighing of the 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 twistin' of the truth
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth
And, anyway, there was no proof
And I'm not afraid to die
And the mercy seat is glowing
And I think my head is smokin'
And in a way I'm hoping
To be done with all these looks of disbelief.
A life for a life
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 smokin'
And I think my head is melting
And in a way that's helping
To be done with all this twistin' of the 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.
It all began when they took me from my home
Tutto è iniziato quando mi hanno portato via da casa mia
And put me on Death Row
E mi hanno messo nel braccio della morte
A crime for which I'm totally innocent, you know
Un crimine per il quale sono totalmente innocente, lo sai
I began to warm and chill
Ho iniziato a scaldarmi e a raffreddarmi
To objects and their fields
Agli oggetti e ai loro campi
A ragged cup, a twisted mop
Una tazza sdrucita, uno straccio contorto
The face of Jesus in my soup
Il volto di Gesù nella mia zuppa
Those sinister dinner deals
Quei sinistri pasti
The meal trolley's wicked wheels
Le ruote malvagie del carrello dei pasti
A hooked bone rising from my food
Un osso ad uncino che spunta dal mio cibo
And all things either good or ungood
E tutte le cose o buone o non buone
And the mercy seat is waiting
E il seggio della misericordia sta aspettando
And I think my head is burning
E penso che la mia testa stia bruciando
And in a way I'm yearning
E in un certo senso sto desiderando
To be done with all this weighing of the truth
Di aver finito con tutto questo pesare della verità
An eye for an eye
Occhio per occhio
And a tooth for a tooth
E dente per dente
And, anyway, I told the truth
E, comunque, ho detto la verità
And I'm not afraid to die.
E non ho paura di morire.
I hear stories from the chamber
Sento storie dalla camera
Christ was born into a manger
Cristo è nato in una mangiatoia
And like some ragged stranger
E come un qualche straccione
He died upon the cross
È morto sulla croce
Might I say it seems so fitting in its way
Posso dire che sembra così appropriato a suo modo
He was a carpenter by trade
Era un falegname di mestiere
Or at least that's what I'm told
O almeno così mi hanno detto
My killed hands tattooed E.V.I.L.
Le mie mani uccise hanno tatuato E.V.I.L.
across it's brother's fist
sul pugno del suo fratello
That filthy five!
Quel sporco cinque!
They did nothing to challenge or resist
Non hanno fatto nulla per sfidare o resistere
In Heaven His throne is made of gold
In cielo il Suo trono è fatto d'oro
The ark of His Testament is stowed
L'arca del Suo Testamento è riposta
A throne from which I'm told
Un trono dal quale mi dicono
All history does unfold.
Si svolge tutta la storia.
It's made of wood and wire
È fatto di legno e filo
And my body is on fire
E il mio corpo è in fiamme
And God is never far away
E Dio non è mai lontano
Into the mercy seat I climb
Nel seggio della misericordia salgo
My head is shaved, my head is wired
La mia testa è rasata, la mia testa è cablata
And like a moth that tries
E come una falena che cerca
To enter the bright eye
Di entrare nell'occhio luminoso
I go shuffling out of life
Vado barcollando fuori dalla vita
Just to hide in death awhile
Solo per nascondermi nella morte per un po'
And, anyway, I never lied
E, comunque, non ho mai mentito
And the mercy seat is waiting
E il seggio della misericordia sta aspettando
And I think my head is burning
E penso che la mia testa stia bruciando
And in a way I'm yearning
E in un certo senso sto desiderando
To be done with all this weighing of the truth
Di aver finito con tutto questo pesare della verità
An eye for an eye
Occhio per occhio
And a tooth for a tooth
E dente per dente
And, anyway, I told the truth
E, comunque, ho detto la verità
And I'm not afraid to die.
E non ho paura di morire.
And the mercy seat is burning
E il seggio della misericordia sta bruciando
And I think my head is glowing
E penso che la mia testa stia brillando
And in a way I'm hoping
E in un certo senso sto sperando
To be done with all this twistin' of the truth
Di aver finito con tutto questo torcere la verità
An eye for an eye
Occhio per occhio
And a tooth for a tooth
E dente per dente
And, anyway, there was no proof
E, comunque, non c'era prova
And I'm not afraid to die
E non ho paura di morire
And the mercy seat is glowing
E il seggio della misericordia sta brillando
And I think my head is smokin'
E penso che la mia testa stia fumando
And in a way I'm hoping
E in un certo senso sto sperando
To be done with all these looks of disbelief.
Di aver finito con tutti questi sguardi di incredulità.
A life for a life
Una vita per una vita
And a truth for a truth
E una verità per una verità
And I've got nothing left to lose
E non ho più nulla da perdere
And I'm not afraid to die
E non ho paura di morire
And the mercy seat is smokin'
E il seggio della misericordia sta fumando
And I think my head is melting
E penso che la mia testa stia sciogliendo
And in a way that's helping
E in un certo senso sta aiutando
To be done with all this twistin' of the truth
Di aver finito con tutto questo torcere la verità
An eye for an eye
Occhio per occhio
And a truth for a truth
E una verità per una verità
And, anyway, I told the truth
E, comunque, ho detto la verità
But I'm afraid I told a lie.
Ma ho paura di aver detto una bugia.
It all began when they took me from my home
Tudo começou quando me tiraram de casa
And put me on Death Row
E me colocaram no corredor da morte
A crime for which I'm totally innocent, you know
Um crime pelo qual sou totalmente inocente, você sabe
I began to warm and chill
Comecei a aquecer e esfriar
To objects and their fields
Para objetos e seus campos
A ragged cup, a twisted mop
Uma xícara desgastada, um esfregão torcido
The face of Jesus in my soup
O rosto de Jesus na minha sopa
Those sinister dinner deals
Aquelas sinistras ofertas de jantar
The meal trolley's wicked wheels
As rodas malditas do carrinho de refeições
A hooked bone rising from my food
Um osso curvado surgindo da minha comida
And all things either good or ungood
E todas as coisas boas ou não boas
And the mercy seat is waiting
E o assento da misericórdia está esperando
And I think my head is burning
E acho que minha cabeça está queimando
And in a way I'm yearning
E de certa forma estou ansiando
To be done with all this weighing of the truth
Para acabar com toda essa ponderação da verdade
An eye for an eye
Olho por olho
And a tooth for a tooth
E dente por dente
And, anyway, I told the truth
E, de qualquer forma, eu disse a verdade
And I'm not afraid to die.
E não tenho medo de morrer.
