The Wicked Messenger Songtext / Lyric

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






He stayed behind the assembly hall, it was there he made his bed

Oftentimes he could be seen returning

Until one day he just appeared with a note in his hand which read

The soles of my feet, I swear they're burning



Oh, the leaves began to fallin' and the seas began to part

And the people that confronted him were many

And he was told but these few words which opened up his heart

If ye cannot bring good news then don't bring any
