This is a mercy mission 
From a faceless messenger who don't want to see you hit 
Here's the word, listen to it 
Somebody that you used to know is back in town 
You better go

This is a mercy mission 
A voice you'll never hear again from a southside call box 
Winged demons are the hardest to outfox 
The same one you lost on the run 
Gonna show you that it ain't no fun

You better get out of town you're gonna get hit 
I didn't mean to get you...

This is a mercy mission 
You'll find your schedule underneath the door 
All of the arrangements have been made 
Major expenses have been paid as you know 
Don't forget the last details 
Accept no parcels in the mail
