about

A parable of repentance.

lyrics

There's certain truths that I'd have just as soon denied
And certain dreams I just as soon do set aside
Certain days that I'd just as soon've died
When even dying didn't mean nothing

Leave it to the wolves to show the path upon this place
Where I followed him up to the grassy ridge to graze
And little could I see for as far as I could gaze
How I've longed for the eyes of painters

I heard the shepherd when the shepherd told his wife
My darling I have wished to lead a quiet life
But I am the son of father time and mother strife
And I have known no parent other

In the barn out at the east end of the grange
Peer through the boards and you will find a poet change
Into a beast of cloven foot and dance deranged
Will you kill or flee or join him?

There's certain truths that I'd have just as soon denied
And certain dreams I just as soon do set aside
Certain days when I'd just as soon've died
When even dying didn't mean nothing.
