On Sunday I spoke with a friend who had just discovered Third Day. Their album, Conspiracy No. 5, is my favorite although it is probably their least popular work. I hadn't listened to it in some time until this conversation, but I put it in on the way to work on Monday and rememberd just how much I love it. My favorite songs are the edgy, dark and somewhat haunting "I Deserve?" and the gripping "Gomer's Theme". The lyrics alone do not capture the depth of the songs because the music is very mood evocative.
Gomer's Theme
"In this place, saw her face
He was more than happier
Made for Him, It's a sin
That she was not faithful
She couldn't be
Foolishly more unfaithful if she tried
He did not care, wanted her
Despite lies and wandering eyes
He deserves the very best
But he loves her none the less
She's forgotten her first love (Maybe one day she'll return)
He's forgotten that she ever went away and broke his heart
Lavished on silver, gold, and anything she needed
Wasted thoughts, broken hearts
Love was not acknowledged
God only knows
That He has shown her
More love than she deserves
There will come a time
When she will find
That he's not there
To give her love
And He'll be gone away
From her forever"

That's my favorite Third Day album as well. Frankly it's one of my favorite albums period. Both the lyrics and instrumentation are great.
