John Mercy - The bastard Lyrics

I went back to the well, and gave it all I had 'till I had no more.
And then he spoke back to me about the meaning of it all, but I didn't get a word right.
Right... How wrong was I to assume those words would come back to me, maybe another day.
And then that day arrived, when memory would serve me right, but my captain was away.
Right? Right. Am I the one who's cruel?
The bastard is waiting outside my door.
I told him: "fool, I'll never let you in until the captain's back at home".
Let me in, oh let me in.
I was at the well when you let my words pass you by and the secret was gone.
And now you call the army of god?
Flesh and bone and the will to obey?
Oh let them come.
Tell your captain: run! oh dear captain: run! Am I the one who's cruel?
The bastard is waiting outside my door.
I told him: "fool, I'll never let you in until the captain's back at home" you know he's not coming home.
He's got the gold, the meaning of it all: the tangled truth, the wretched lie.
And when he hears the voice of your god, if he returns the secret to your side,
You'll find it's too late to run, to run.
Am I the one who's cruel?
The bastard is waiting outside my door.
I told him: "fool, I'll never let you in until the captain's back" Who's cruel?
The bastard is waiting outside my door.
I told him: "fool, I'll never let you in until the captain's back at home"
