Path of Lies

The road goes on, in never ends, give up before it's too late;
Turn around and walk away, don't try to give, just take.

You can't find what you're looking for, until you close your eyes;
Blacken out the world around, and walk the path of lies.

Search on, search on, down the deadly trail,
seeing things that don't exist, never win you fail.

Search on, search on, the fire inside you dies;
You're on the road that never ends, you're on the path of lies.

You sit and wait for day to break, but darkness grows so strong;
Voice speak but no one's there, what must be right is wrong.

There is no choice of where to go, there are no reasons why;
You've gone too far, you can't turn back, you live the path of lies.

Search on, search on, down the fatal path;
Dreams of things to never be, suffer your own wrath;

Search on, search on, the nightmare never dies;
Face your soul and realize, you are the path of lies.
