Truth Be Told

This is the first tale of death in the world When Cain struck down Abel, a family broken Since then mankind’s dominated his own kind To insult and injured there’s no such thing as peace, till death do us part Till the last (Truth be told) Sin lies at the doorway (Truth be told) Hell’s open for business now (Truth be told) The soil cries out for revenge (Truth be told) And death is upon the ground, all around The battle ain’t over without spoils of war Just ‘cause it is written does not make it so When you dance with the Devil wait till the song’s over I ask myself how bad do I want you to live, my anger is near Till the last (Truth be told) Sin lies at the doorway (Truth be told) Hell’s open for business now (Truth be told) The soil cries out for revenge (Truth be told) And death is upon the ground (Truth be told) Sin lies at the doorway (Truth be told) Hell’s open for business now (Truth be told) The soil cries out for revenge (Truth be told) And death is upon the ground, all around Tribulation strikes and we’re hit hard Still you just go on your way Head in the sand, ignoring the rain Just like the flood in Noah’s day, in his day Can’t punish those for ruining the earth It’s suicide so don’t worry Because we are all guilty, guilty as sin There’ll be no peace, never for you and me Before Al Qaeda and Bin Laden Long before Hitler and Hussein Ever since the first murder was committed The verdict’s always been the same, been the same, wrong Because the future just repeats the past There’s hell to pay, the stone’s been cast So there’ll be no peace, never be peace Till the last truth be told for you and me
