Great Deceivers Lyrics
"Cardinal Direction"

In taking pause to peruse an old secret that looms
You waste away while it consumes
Burn the last bit of proof, you've got to bury the truth
Just show me the map and I'll prove that we're lost
The tables have turned and the X marks the spot

Circumnavigate with ease, so you suppose
Fielding questions just to see the length of your pull

A place on the path you never thought you would pass
Problems from your past poised to attack
With one foot in the grave, questions beg to be asked
Feel the wind in my hair and the axe falling fast
Broke bread with the beast when we were promised a feast
Married to the east but the west pulls at our chests

Circumnavigate with ease, so you suppose
Fielding questions just to see the length of your pull

Was told that this was the last train home
But was there ever a first? Is there somewhere to go?
Where can I hide my hope to ensure that it grows?
What once thrived as a part falls short as a whole
