about

I think my this point I'd pretty much given up on the 1960s theme. Daniel LaGrange is the character who appears as the protagonist/narrator in the title track, '...And Daryil Answered'.
This song covers one of my pet themes of 'If I go around killing evil people, doesn't that make me evil too?'.

Along with the title track, this is one of the songs I'm most pleased with on the album.

lyrics

The Ballad of Daniel LaGrange

My name is Daniel and a 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 to 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'd seem
Everything before was like a dream
Judge not, lest ye be judged

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
Judge not, lest ye be judged
