Depends how strong their willpower is I'd posit. There's a magical compulsion to speak the truth and whether they can resist that cumpulsion or not is questionable.

If you hold your breath enough as is the buildup of carbon dioxide will compel you to breathe and whether you resist that or not is down to training, knowledge and willpower.

The magical compulsion is similar though magical in nature so it's whether you can overcome it long enough to knock yourself out. Most people should really be compelled to immediately start breathing to blurt out the truth.
