lyrics

Swallowed by the darkness
Drowning in your eyes
No life left at all
Total disconnection, but this is no surprise

How dimly we all see
Like looking through a glass
The truth is seldom clear
Driven by avoidance of the things we fear

Mirrors betray the image
Eyes betray the soul
Dreams betray the darkness we're burning to control
Truth betrays the anger
It's tearing us apart
Hope betrays the silence like whispers in the dark

No principle left untarnished
No lie left untold
Though the truth can set you free
I tried the truth once - it didn't work for me

Raise your voice in anger
Raise your barriers
Raise your fist in rage
Like the fly caught in the web, the rat within the cage

And the wind blows on
Rolling on the tide
Ever-shifting sands
And so must all things change
Despite the best-laid plans

Still the search goes on
Not sure anymore
Just where we lost our way
Will we find our Eden
And open up the door?
