lyrics

Today I plunged the deepest depths
Of a shallow well I dug myself
Drew the last drop from the bottom
And I drank my own self dry
Ranted on 'bout highs and lows
How to reach God from the gallows
While the mountains were filing down
And the valleys were filling up

(chorus)
And though I walk through the Valley of the Shadow of Despair
I will not fear the fear that's stalking
But lo, the valley's deep
When I look up to the peak
I only wonder,
In whose shadow am I walking?

Hey Judas Boy
Take that sad song and wrap it 'round your throat
And if a parable squeezes out your mouth
You know it will be the first you ever told
You'll sing, "I don't pay any mind
To silver coins or streets paved with gold
I only wanted peace in Zion,
But my Friend and me,
We're both hanging from these trees--
I wish I was his friend while my feet still touched the soil."

Hey Judas Boy (2x)

(chorus)
