The Sound of Truth (From the Lips of a Liar)
He speaks the words of a wise man
He lays open your soul
And you give it over little by little
Till he's taken total control
He'll promise you glory and grace
And signs of great things come to pass
But his promised land is a dangerous place
And he's just a snake in high grass
And the sound of truth from the lips of a liar
Is like love from a bitter heart
Like the promise of youth from a fountain of fire
Like light from a falling star
You don't know from what they say
Who they really are
When the night is lean and hungry
And you walk the path alone
You try to follow every signpost
You turn over every stone
There may be a heaven somewhere
Where all your visions and dreams
Come true
But be careful of that stranger out there
Who swears to light the way for you
He's always out there laying in wait
He knows you by the things you need
Don't let your hungry heart
Guide the hand of your fate
'cause he's the one your hunger will feed
The sound of truth from the lips of a liar
Is heaven in the devils arms
The sound of truth from the lips of a liar
A light that dies in the dark
Before you know it you've fallen too far
Better keep an eye on your heart
He lays open your soul
And you give it over little by little
Till he's taken total control
He'll promise you glory and grace
And signs of great things come to pass
But his promised land is a dangerous place
And he's just a snake in high grass
And the sound of truth from the lips of a liar
Is like love from a bitter heart
Like the promise of youth from a fountain of fire
Like light from a falling star
You don't know from what they say
Who they really are
When the night is lean and hungry
And you walk the path alone
You try to follow every signpost
You turn over every stone
There may be a heaven somewhere
Where all your visions and dreams
Come true
But be careful of that stranger out there
Who swears to light the way for you
He's always out there laying in wait
He knows you by the things you need
Don't let your hungry heart
Guide the hand of your fate
'cause he's the one your hunger will feed
The sound of truth from the lips of a liar
Is heaven in the devils arms
The sound of truth from the lips of a liar
A light that dies in the dark
Before you know it you've fallen too far
Better keep an eye on your heart
