Lyrics

The words Came down the line Just a few words At a time The meaning It was Clear There was no sign of fear The scene That they described Were sad You could have cried The journey's Just too long To even Take the ride It's always The same It's always In vain If the truth Were only known If the words Had only shown That lies and deception They move in one direction And then in the end you lose... That lies and deception They move in one direction And then in the end you lose... You lose And now The line is dead You did everything You ever said You brought it down You turned around And what was said Was said The deed is done You've had your fun And home again You'll run You know inside You'll never hide And what was done Was done It's always The same It's always In vain If the truth Were only known If the words Had only shown That lies and deception They move in one direction And then in the end you lose... That lies and deception They move in one direction And then in the end you lose...
