| King's X – Lies In The Sand (The Ballad Of...) Lyrics
| 14 years ago

My journey through faith and into atheism ran fairly parallel to King's X's. At the time this song was released, I was struggling to hang on. Less than 4 months ago, I read "God's Funeral" by Thomas Hardy, a poem from 150 years ago that said the same thing. I gotta wonder if Dug had read this poems before he wrote this song. The line about the man saying there is a light in the sky is spot on with the last couple of stanzas of the poem. Somehow, we seem programmed with the desire to believe. |

And, I believe, one of the first "crisis of faith" songs from King's X. If you follow their lyrics, this kind of set a pattern of doubt mixed with a desperate attempt to hold on to faith. It is one of my favorites from them. |
