the clouds are sailing
north to south
the sun is fading
it’s almost out
the earth is shaking
hear the sirens wailing –
Truth comes to town
church bells ring
day and night
drum beats roll
over fields and seas
lightning strikes
hear the screams –
Truth comes to town
she is no god
her name’s not Jesus
she’s not your mother
she’s not your boss
she’s the teller of truths
she’ll be here soon –
Truth comes to town
see the liars run
the cheaters cry
the bullshit-tellers
all freeze and die
reason will prevail
true feelings will be hailed –
Truth comes to town
dread the day
when Truth comes to town
because you have lied
and so have I
find a mirror and see
the eyes of a cheating man
Truth comes to town
vicars and teachers
mayors and preachers
will fall and crumble
when Truth comes to town
when Truth comes to town
the clouds will leave
the sun will shine
and the moon will be bright –
brighter than ever before
when Truth comes to town
