Lyrics

Mercenary

[Chorus] Silhouettes caress without feeling Who'll be your mercenary [Verse 1] Let the trespassers stay Decorate starving strays You can not convert me Reparations unseen [Chorus] Silhouettes caress without feeling Who'll be your mercenary [Verse 2] They dress them up in lace Underage have their way Join them in solitary Should be voluntary [Outro] Mercenary
