about

funny how we make truth out of what we want to believe

lyrics

I am a traveling preacher. I came to save souls. I got caught up in the glory, and lost sight of that goal. I was far far too clever for my own good. So I cut down that old cross, because I needed the wood. I am a tempest. I am a gale. I am a one day down, in the belly of the whale. In the belly of the whale. Here in this land of dust and of drought. I gave in to lust girl you know I am devout. I built you an alter from that old rugged cross. And called you my church when all my faith I had lost. I am the darkness before the dawn. I am the quiet before the storm. I am the tempest. I am a gale. I am two days down in the belly of the whale, in the belly of the whale. Ain’t it funny how we make truth, out of what we want to believe. I used to think there were truths so much bigger than me. I am the quiet before the storm. I am the darkness before the dawn. I am the tempest. I am a gale. I am three days down in the belly of the whale. I am a traveling singer, trying to save my own soul.
