lirik lagu ken theriot – the lie
go, soul, the body’s guest
upon a thankless arrant!
fear not to touch the best;
the truth shall be thy warrant:
go, since i needs must die
and give the world the lie
say to the court it glows
and shines like rotten wood;
say to the church it shows
what’s good, and doth no good:
if court and church reply
then give them both the lie
tell heads of state~ they live
acting by others’ action
not loved unless they give
not strong but by a faction
if heads of state reply
give every one the lie
tell men of high condition
that manage their estate
their purpose is ambition
their practice only hate:
and if they make reply
then give them all the lie
tell them that brave it most
they beg for more by spending
who, in their greatest cost
seek nothing but commending:
and if they make reply
then give them all the lie.
tell zeal it wants devotion;
tell love it is but l~st;
tell time it is but motion;
tell flesh it is but dust:
and wish them not reply
for thou must give the lie
tell physic of her boldness;
tell sk!ll it is pretension;
tell charity of coldness;
tell law it is contention:
and as they do reply
so give them still the lie
tell fortune of her blindness;
tell nature of decay;
tell friendship of unkindness;
tell justice of delay:
and if they will reply
then give them all the lie
