about

My 2010 album, '...and Daryil Answered' was a bit of a mixed bag, with half of it affecting a 1960s psych style which put some people off. I think this is one of the better tracks, though if I hadn't restricted myself to 2 tracks from each album I would have liked to give 'Mr. Apocalypse' another shot.
This version is fairly true to the original, and uses the original vocals from the 1/2" master tape. I finally managed to use a real tape slowdown effect on the vocals rather than lamely faking it as was done on the original song. Though since it's using the original vocals you kind of get to hear both...

lyrics

Daniel LaGrange (from ‘And Daryil Answered’, 2010)

My name is Daniel and I spent my whole life hunting and destroying evil.
That's what I do
One day I saw that what I did was also evil
From a different point of view

Judge not, lest ye be judged
Things are not as simple as could be
Everything seems different now for me

The realisation that my life had been spent poorly
Left my thoughts all tangled, left me confused
I sought a way to make amends

And live my life more wisely - this I pursued.

Things I'd done were never as they seem
Everything before was like a dream

I thought that I could find the truth
But I all I found was twisted blasphemy
The hymns of praise I thought I'd sung
Were only songs of lies and larceny

My name is Daniel and I spent my whole
life hunting and destroying evil.
But I was wrong
Since then I've found a little evil helps bring balance
To an over-righteous throng

Even good is bad if took too far
Neutral shades of grey is all we are
