lyrics

Stuck in a moment, surrounded by lies
cloaked in the stories, and befriending disguise
No-one knows what to think anymore
No-one can walk the endless road
of the pursuit of truth

An weary journey with no end
A soldier with nothing he can defend
And all these lies that he heard they said
Are all that's left now the truth is gone and dead
All of these lies left to us
All of these truths that are left to rust
When can we hope to be honest
and when will it stop this time?

Fear is gripping our minds and stopping what we say
Just try to carry on and live to fight another day
Carry on; no-one knows what could be found within you
And now we're stuck, forever searching for the truth

Broken in the shadows
The tension's rising once again
And all that's left of promises
Is an empty and forgotten name
All of these lies left to us
All of these truths that are left to rust
When can we hope to be honest
and when will it stop this time?

One more story left to tell
as we battle our own hell
We'll carry on
And we'll reach the time when we have nothing to say
And we'll find ourselves someday

One last time we begin the search
for the truth we crave the most
So we can have something to hold onto
when everything is lost
All of these lies left to us
All of these truths that are left to rust
When can we hope to be honest
and when will it stop this time?
