The Gospel Truth

The Gospel Truth I MIDI

Back when the world was new
the planet Earth was down on its luck
and ev'rywhere gigantic brutes called Titans ran amok.
It was a nasty place.
There was a mess wherever you stepped,
where chaos reigned and earthquakes and volcanoes never slept.

And then along came Zeus.
He hurled his thunderbolt. He zapped.
Locked those suckers in a vault. They're trapped.
And on his own stopped chaos in its tracks.
And that's the gospel truth.
The guy was too "Type A" to just relax.

And that's the world's first dish.
Zeus tamed the globe while still in his youth.
Though, honey, it may seem imposs'ble
that's the gospel truth.
On mount Olympus life was neat and smooth as sweet vermouth.
Oh though, honey, it may seem imposs'ble
that's the gospel truth.


The Gospel Truth II

He ran the underworld.
But thought the dead were dull and uncouth.
He was as mean as he was ruthless,
and that's the gospel truth.
He had a plan to shake things up
and that's the gospel truth.


The Gospel Truth III

Young Herc was mortal now.
But, since he did not drink the last drop
he still retained his god-like strength so, thank his lucky star.
But Zeus and Hera wept
because their son could never come home.
They had to watch their precious baby grow up from afar.
The boy was stronger every day and that's the gospel truth.
