Lyrics
[Verse 1]
In ancient Palestine, a Roman middle manager
Dresses down a radical, I have a backlog of so-called prophets
You are of a multitude, the offender said, I witness truth
Perplexed and filled with pique, the jailer replied, truth, what is it?
[Verse 2]
Outside of Darlington, 1963
On certain mornings a spectre
Appeared in a well-appointed back garden
Its voice was still heard after the sun had burned away its image
Consulting physicists and mediums the man, he realized
It was a relative living a 1000 miles away
Half sister was thinking of him very poorly on those mornings
[Verse 3]
In Northern Michigan there was an incident in winter
A horse was hit by lightning and began to speak in a foreign language
When he was finally understood
It repeated, humans are no good
So they shot it behind the shed
And stuffed him
[Verse 4]
He's now on display
As a lesson for the kids
To always do your best
Do your best always
Always
Always
[Verse 5]
Truth is a colic-king horse
That serves no purpose
Truth is a babbling prisoner
You'd rather not kill if they confess
[Verse 6]
Truth is the half sister
That will not be forgotten
Truth is the half sister
That will not forgive
[Verse 7]
She is trying to reach you
Trying to reach you
She is trying to reach you
Trying to reach you
[Verse 8]
She is trying to reach you
Trying to reach you
She is trying to reach you
Trying to reach you
