Lyrics
[Verse 1]
There was a wicked messenger, from Eli he did come
With a mind that multiplied the smallest matter
When questioned who had sent for him, he answered with his thumb
For his tongue it could not speak, but only flatter
[Verse 2]
He stayed behind the assembly hall, it was there that he made his bed
Often times he could be seen returnin'
Until one day he just appeared with a note in his hand which read
The soles of my feet, I swear they're burnin'
[Verse 3]
The leaves began to fallin' and the seas began to part
And the people that confronted him were many
[Verse 4]
The leaves began to fallin' and the seas began to part
And the people that confronted him were many
And he was told these last few words which opened up his heart
Cannot bring good news, then don't bring any
[Verse 5]
And opened up his heart
