Father's Son Lyrics - As I Call You Down - Fistful Of Mercy

My father, he done told me 

To never, ever hurt no one 

But now I'm sick and mad, and I been caught red-handed 

And I'm still my father's son 

I lay awake 'til daylight 

A pillow and a gun 

And if my secret dreams could be seen on screen 

Then they'll be coming for this one 

So down low, better slow down, Lord 

So down low, better slow down, Lord 

So down low, better slow down, Lord 

Please Lord, now forgive me 

Even though I don't deserve 

I never was too good in life 

The devil's all I serve 

My woman, she done left me 

I told her twice to go 

The first time she ignored me 

But then I threw her on the floor 

So down low, better slow down, Lord 

So down low, better slow down, Lord 

So down low, better slow down, Lord 

Well, I sleep with one eye open 

I weep with both eyes closed 

Darkness coming down on me 

And tomorrow never knows 

Ever I suffer 

Ever I suffer my fill 

And if you don't pray for me now 

Nobody ever will 

So down low, better slow down, Lord 

So down low, better slow down, Lord 

So down low, better slow down, Lord 

Now I'm in the graveyard 

There's darkness all around 

Voices floating through the air 

Speaking with no sound 

You were your father's son 

But you left him far beyond 

Beyond the reach of mercy 

In the darkness of the son 

I'm so down low, better slow down, Lord 

I'm so down low, better slow down, Lord 

I'm so down low, better slow down, Lord 

I'm so down low, better slow down, Lord 

I'm so down low, better slow down, Lord 

I'm so down low, better slow down, Lord 

I'm so down low, better slow down, Lord 

I'm so down low, better slow down, Lord
