Bells and Pomegranates No. III: Dramatic Lyrics: Count Gismond · 1842
The lie was dead And damned, and truth stood up instead.
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
The lie is treated as an opponent that has been defeated, while truth takes its place as a living presence. The forceful language gives exposure the feeling of a decisive victory. What was false no longer governs the account, and what replaces it can stand openly.
