lyrics

I found a haystack in a needle
I caught an angel in a lie
I saw a hypocrite in heaven
Remove a log from both his eyes
I saw an anvil float on water
Water running up a hill
An old cheater keep his promise
And his hand's outside the till

I saw the last get in first
I saw the best in the worst
By moving forward in reverse
And back again to love
Holy, holy love

I saw a shepherd king freefalling
Off a throne of mud and straw
He landed on a bed of nails
Proclaiming "Love's the only law"
I saw a dead man who'd been buried
Walk around outside his grave
The ones we're told are not worth saving
Are the ones now being saved

Chorus

I found a haystack in a needle
I caught an angel in a lie
Repeat chorus

Audible Sigh 21-Song Deluxe Edition

This album is gritty, raw, and real. I love the fact that you can write and sing songs of this reality, yet have a glimmer of hope that resonates throughout the album. My favorite is Resplendent. I'm guessing its setting is the 30's.Was it inspired by any particular work of art or reading? pnorberg

THE POWER & THE GLORY/Bill Mallonee & Vigilantes of Love (2011)
by Bill Mallonee

supported by 7 fans who also own “Forward In Reverse”

Bill has stated elsewhere that he considers this a Vigilantes album - but regardless of whether you see it that way or as a solo release, it feels like a triumphant return to form. (I think) it's his first full length album since "Permafrost" 6 years prior. And it's a doozy! The album could have been billed as "Bill Mallonee and Crazy Horse" and I wouldn't have questioned it for a moment! Terrific arrangements, excellent tones, catchy tunes, and always-thoughtful lyrics.
