The Cliffs of Nowhere

[Verse] He spoke in riddles spun lies like gold Promised treasures his stories bold Painted futures with vivid lines Leading lost souls through twisted signs [Verse 2] We marched along with blindfolded eyes Believed his tales despised the wise He sold us dreams we couldn't see A forest full of phantom trees [Chorus] Oh we chased the sun to the edge of night Ran without a care hearts full of light But now we're staring down the cliffs of nowhere Tumbled dreams vanished in thin air [Verse 3] He took our hands and made us leap Into a chasm dark and deep No magic spring no golden land Just jagged rocks and empty sand [Verse 4] Still we followed whispered praise Through stormy nights and blinding days His voice the trumpet we obeyed To the precipice where light decayed [Chorus] Oh we chased the sun to the edge of night Ran without a care hearts full of light But now we're staring down the cliffs of nowhere Tumbled dreams vanished in thin air {Instrumental} {Outro} We ignored the signs Now we have no right to whine Our ignorance was strong, it lasted so long, we got what we thought we wanted... we were oh so wrong, so very wrong (we got what we thought we wanted.) But now we're staring down the cliffs of nowhere {End}
