Nothing But The Truth Lyrics

It seems as clear as yesterday...

We saw it in a dream

But dream became insanity...

Awful gaping scream

So sad to see such emptiness...

So sad to see such tears

And heaped up leaves of bitterness...

Turned mouldy down the years

Nothing but the truth...

Common words in use

Hard to find excuse...

Harder than the truth

Like Icarus we flew too high...

We flew too near the sun

They caught us in that awful glare...

Our hapless throats were strung

But just before the final stroke...

They took us victims of the rope

And cast us far beyond the deep...

To lie in never ending sleep

It seems as clear as yesterday

They cast us in the deep

We lie in darkest night for good...

Never ending sleep

A never ending bitter gloom...

Whose darkness seldom clears

A god-forsaken emptiness...

Which fills our hearts with tears

Nothing but the truth...

Common words in use

Hard to find excuse...

Harder than the truth
