To Kingdom Come

"Fought for the party to kingdom come,"

Sadly told his only son

"Just be careful what you do,

It all comes back on you

False witness spread the news,

Somebody's gonna lose

Either she or me or you,

Nothing we could do

"So don't you say a word

Or repeat a thing you heard

Time will tell you well

If the truth truly fell

Tarred and feathered, yeah, thistled and thorned

One or the other," he kindly warned

"Now you look out the window, tell me what do you see?"

"I see a golden calf pointing back at me"

Well, they'd set their cap for so darn long

waiting for the end to come along

Holy Ghost or on the brink

I'd take a choice, swim or sink

False witness cast an evil eye

Said I cannot tell a lie

Kings and saints don't bother me

I'm not alone, you see
