Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well I told you stories about the edge of night
And the ghosts of the past come to give us a fright
And they say don't repeat our mistakes
And they scream out their fears, they groan and they shake
[Verse 2]
But I seek out reflections from the light in the dark
‘Cause I know there is love in the darkest hearts
So the fear and the hate can be overcome
By the knowledge that there is a morning sun
(Chorus]
And you're just the image of someone we used to see
And you're just the shell of what you used to be
And you’re still deceived
[Guitar interlude]
[Verse 3]
Well you trip but don’t fall and you bring out the fight
You can say that you can't but I say that you might
Look to the rain those eyes oh so sad
And the flowers bloom and the babies cry
[Chorus]
And the bells toll for the loss of what used to be
For you're just a shell of yourself
And you’re still deceived
[Bridge]
Sunrise … we can see now
As the night time retreats
Sunrise … our minds are free now
But we've been deceived
[Bridge - guitar interlude]
[Verse 4]
Well the light starts to spark and the joy descends
But we wonder where the day just went
'Cause it's over before we just began
And we're back where we were and must start again
[Bridge]
Sunrise … we can see now
As the night time retreats
Sunrise … our minds are free now
But we've been deceived
[Verse 5]
So I told you stories about the edge of night
Deceived
And the ghosts of the past come to give us a fright
And they said don't repeat our mistakes
And they scream out their fears, they moan and they shake
[Outro – guitar lead and background singers back and forth]
We are still deceived
We are still deceived
We are still deceived
We are still deceived
We are still deceived
We are still deceived
We are still deceived
We are still deceived
We are still deceived
We are still deceived
We are still deceived
We are still deceived
We are still deceived
We are still deceived
We are still deceived
We are still deceived
We are still deceived
We are still deceived
We are still deceived
We are still deceived
We are still deceived
We are still deceived
