I am surprised no one has uploaded this song yet, so I decided to. This is probably my favorite song off of Vheissu, even if it is just a b-side.
All rights to this song belong to Thrice and Thrice's label.
Lyrics:
A ring of Pharisees and one of them was me
We loved the letter but not the spirit
An infidelity, a woman on her knees
She begged for mercy, we couldn't hear it
The teacher looked from us, his finger in the dust
We felt the chill and it shook us to our bones
Then he raised his head and this is what he said,
"The one who has not sin should throw a stone"
I walked away in silence
and threw myself upon the ground
These words they burned inside me
Take up your cross before your crown
Go and judge not, lest ye be judged with the girl and come down
I walked away in silence
and threw myself upon the ground
These words they burned inside me
Take up your cross before your crown
Take up your cross before your crown
Judge not, lest ye be judged with the girl and come down
Take up your cross before your crown
Your cross before your crown

One of my favorite Thrice tracks. Dustin doesn't like the song though. He said it feels unfinished to him and didn't fit Vheissu. Same reason why "Flags Of Dawn" didn't make the cut. I love both tracks..the band just didn't think they worked on Vheissu.

Correction on the lyrics in the description; A ring of Pharisees and one of them was me We loved the letter but not the spirit An infidelity, a woman on her knees She begged for mercy, we couldn't hear it The teacher looked from us, his finger in the dust We felt the chill and it shook us to our bones Then he raised his head and this is what he said, "The one who has not sin should throw a stone" I walked away in silence and threw myself upon the ground These words they burned inside me Take up your cross before your crown Go and judge not, lest ye be judged when the curtain comes down I walked away in silence and threw myself upon the ground These words they burned inside me Take up your cross before your crown Take up your cross before your crown Judge not, lest ye be judged when the curtain comes down Take up your cross before your crown Your cross before your crown

Correction on the lyrics, Dustin decided to change them recently. The First line is now: " The patriarchy raged, we made a living cage" Why you might ask, hypotheticals anti-Semitism, what a joke. Absolutely great song though . Did not need a lyric change in recent years, especially for "antisemitism". What a joke. Imagine being offended for the title "Pharisees". That's like scrubbing the phrase "gang members", because it has a violent connotation. Words have meanings for a reason. Swapping the word just makes people use another word. The euphemism treadmill never ends, and people never stop being offended. Dustin didn't need to cower over a lyric he wrote 20 years ago with good intentions. Just because someone's offended doesn't mean they're right, and it doesn't give them the right to dictate speech and behavior to others. That's what tyrants do, and cowardice can be just as dangerous as tyranny.

this is like if (the style of) The Artist at the Ambulance and Vheissu had a baby

I think the lyrics in the chorus are "lest ye be judged when the curtain comes down". At least that's what I thought they were.
