Third Time's A Charm (The Story of Harold Camping) is the first release from the upcoming album by Nick Story, Amateur Taxidermy. The song tells a short tale about Harold Camper, the apocalyptic preacher that guaranteed May 21, 2011 was rapture day. That day came and went.
lyrics
it's not how you fall
it's how you get back up
shake the dust
off your feet
they're all afraid
of a big idea
keep the faith
don't back down
Harold Camping
I'm afraid the day has come and gone
Harold Camping
hold your head up high, third times a charm
rough business
apocalypse
money flows
like good wine
broadcast your truth
far and wide
guaranteed
to raise a crowd
Harold Camping
I'm afraid the day has come and gone
Harold Camping
hold your head up high, third times a charm
Mr. Camping tell me this
how could you wish such violence
to the ones
that you love
the sun rose and fell
on rapture day
is it easier to know
how they die?
Harold Camping
I'm afraid the day has come and gone
Harold Camping
hold your head up high, third times a charm
