To Kingdom Come lyrics

[Verse 1]
Forefather pointed to kingdom come
Sadly told his only son
Just be careful what you do
It all comes back on you

[Verse 2]
False witness spread the news
Somebody's gonna lose
Either she or me or you
Nothing we can do

[Chorus]
So don't you say a word
Or repeat a thing you heard
Time will tell you well
If you truly, truly fell

[Post-Chorus]
Tarred and feathered, yeah
Thistles and thorns
One or the other
He kindly warned
Now you look out the window, tell me
What do you see?
I see a golden calf pointing
Back at me
[Bridge]
I been sitting in here for so darn long
Waitin' for the end to come along
Holy roaster on the brink
Take a choice, swim or sink

[Verse 3]
False witness, cast an evil eye
Said, "I cannot tell a lie"
Haints and saints don't bother me
I'm not alone, you see

[Chorus]
So don't you say a word
Or repeat a thing you heard
Time will tell you well
If you truly, truly fell

[Post-Chorus]
Tarred and feathered, yeah
Thistles and thorns
One or the other
He kindly warns
Now you look out the window, tell me
What do you see?
I see a golden calf pointing
Back at me
