the keening - the truth lyrics

Loading...

there was a man in rome
who saw a dark deed at midnight
and when the judge called him to tell all
he got a letter from the mob
they said, “you have a beautiful wife;
you have a beautiful daughter.”
and so he was pinned like a b_tterfly
between truth and lies

so i ask you, baby, did the truth set him free?

there was a girl of seventeen
who fell in love with the county scoundrel
in her eyes he could do no wrong
they got married and she had his son
slowly the light faded from her eyes
as he beat her almost every night
and then he framed her suicide
and inherited her daddy’s gold mines

so i ask you, baby, did the truth set her free?

sherpas on the mountain
philosophers and kings
pilgrims to lost lands
all searching for the same thing
and when you finally achieve the peaks
of a heaven so few get to reach
you see a table set for two
and the truth waiting patiently
she gestures you to take a seat
looks at you so sadly
then she puts poison in your cup
will you drink it up?
so i ask you, baby, did the truth set you free?

the truth is a hard mistress
the truth is a burning coal
the truth is a clinging th_rn
that digs deeper as we grow old

the truth is like a stranger at a wake
in the coffin he lays
he takes your heart like a sparrow

the truth is like a k!ller on the street
that when your eyes chance to meet
you shudder and are glad to be rid of him

the truth is like a dove in a gale
it beats its wings to stay afloat
till the storm has passed

the truth is like a stranger at a wake
in the coffin he lays
he takes your heart like a sparrow

the truth is like a friend from the past
that when you see him at last
you open up your arms to receive him
the truth is like a little child
that when he comes to your side
you don’t stop and ask why

the truth is like a fire in the night
a beautiful treasure
with a terrible price

the truth is like a friend from the past
that when you see him at last
he shines like a star in the darkness
