Truth and Lies
It's a funny old world
But nobody's laughing
In between the newborn, the living and the dying
In for a penny, In for a pound
Prince and Pretender, both claiming the crown.
All this it's no surprise
Truth and Lies
Well I look to the east
Raise my hands up to heaven
Bowed to the new born son who had risen
Learned all the words but none of their meanings
Learned all the secrets but none of their reasons
So I laid all my faith in the tales and the legends
Miracles and myths of divine intervention
Huckster and priest selling redemption
Toll for the soul
On the road to salvation
And who are to blame?
We are sinking forever
In the sea of gain
Now I sit here to ponder
Question and wonder
End of the day I am still none the wiser
Like threads on the loom all weaving a pattern
A picture in light and life ever after
Life ever after
But nobody's laughing
In between the newborn, the living and the dying
In for a penny, In for a pound
Prince and Pretender, both claiming the crown.
All this it's no surprise
Truth and Lies
Well I look to the east
Raise my hands up to heaven
Bowed to the new born son who had risen
Learned all the words but none of their meanings
Learned all the secrets but none of their reasons
So I laid all my faith in the tales and the legends
Miracles and myths of divine intervention
Huckster and priest selling redemption
Toll for the soul
On the road to salvation
And who are to blame?
We are sinking forever
In the sea of gain
Now I sit here to ponder
Question and wonder
End of the day I am still none the wiser
Like threads on the loom all weaving a pattern
A picture in light and life ever after
Life ever after
