Mercy come rain down on me (what tense?)

“Hundreds of tears on the water
Mercy come rain down on me

What tense is being used? Is that simple present tense?

I think it is intended to be an imperative sentence, but there are mistakes in the grammar of those lyrics (‘I’ve walk in and out of the fire’??) and little punctuation, so my answer is tentative.
