Song #13: Trilogy Part 2 (Answers)
MP3 Demo Here (5.2mb)

This is the second trilogy installment. Note that each of the three songs roughly represents three stages in the Passion story. The last one is the crucifixion, the next one is the ressurection, and this one is that awkward time in between. I blatantly lifted a lyric from the Vigilantes of Love here, but it was too perfect. I'd like to hear this with a piano and really reverby guitars in the background.

lyrics/music by Burr Settles

i wasn't there for the deposition
i wasn't there for the pain
i was in the prime position
to just run away

they say those who live by the sword
shall, too, die by the blade
but those who live by the truth
shall die anyway

from upper rooms to empty tombs
it's all i've seen, and i'm lost in between
tell me what to do, i don't have a clue
Adonai...

i told you i am your possesion
but i'd lie in triplicate
Lord, i've got so many questions
so many questions...

but i feel the answers come...

Whoa...this one is heavy. Brooding. Sad. Is this about Judas? Which lyric did you lift from VOL? The next song has come on already so I'm gonna go over to that page.

no, this one is relating to peter. i ripped off the "upper rooms and empty tombs" line from VoL.
