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 pa** But his promised land is a dangerous place And he's just a snake in high gra** 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
