Verse 1
Yes I met the worldly Wiseman,
When he spoke to me it seemed so right;
The only thing I couldn't see,
Was the start of an endless night,

Bridge
He said, I must drop my load,
It seemed a good idea;
But when I had done it,
The answer became quite clear.

Chorus
Worldly Wiseman, worldly Wiseman,
You’re the chief; you’re the prince of liars, of liars;
Worldly Wiseman, worldly Wiseman,
You’re the chief; you’re the prince of liars, of liars.

Verse  2
Lord  please lift me to your council,
Please take me Lord unto Your side;
For the world is filled with evil,
With no place in which I could hide.

Bridge
He said, I must drop my load,
It seemed a good idea;
But when I had done it,
The answer became quite clear.

Chorus
Worldly Wiseman, worldly Wiseman,
You’re the chief; you’re the prince of liars, of liars;
Worldly Wiseman, worldly Wiseman,
You’re the chief; you’re the prince of liars, of liars.

Verse  3
For such thoughts  they  lead to darkness,
In a silent  and empty land;
And that is the fate of people,
Who  choose to build on shifting sand,

Bridge
He said, I must drop my load,
It seemed a good idea;
But when I had done it,
The answer became quite clear.

Chorus
Worldly Wiseman, worldly Wiseman,
You’re the chief; you’re the prince of liars, of liars;
Worldly Wiseman, worldly Wiseman,
You’re the chief; you’re the prince of liars, of liars.
