Protomartyr - Half Sister lyrics

In ancient Palestine a Roman middle manager dresses down a radical “I have a backlog of so-called prophets You are of a multitude” The offender said, “I witness truth” Perplexed and filled with pique the jailer replied, “truth, what is it?” Outside of Darlington 1963 on certain mornings a specter appeared In a well-appointed back garden Its voice was still heard after the sun had burned away its image Consulting physicists and mediums, the man he realized It was a relative living a 1000 miles away Half sister was thinking of him very poorly on those mornings In Northern Michigan there was an incident in winter A horse was hit by lightning and began to speak in a foreign language When he was finally understood, it repeated, “humans are no good” So they shot it behind the shed and stuffed him He’s now on display as a lesson for the kids to always do your best Do your best always Always Always Truth is a colicking horse That serves no purpose Truth is a babbling prisoner You’d rather not k** if they confess Truth is the half sister That will not be forgotten Truth is the half sister That will not forgive She is trying to reach you
