I see you standing in the doorway of my soul

Your eyes are gentle but I fear what they may hold

The truth is heavy like a stone upon my chest

I wonder if you'll spare me from this final test

The years have taught me how the honest words can kill

Yet in your silence I am waiting for your will

The candle flickers in this room of whispered prayer

Tell me darling, will you show me that you care?

Would you lie to me, when the truth is too cruel?

Would you lie to me, and play the gentle fool?

Would you lie to me, to keep the darkness stayed?

Would you lie to me, when the night turns to day?

Would you lie to me, with your soft and sacred voice?

Would you lie to me, and give me one last choice?

Would you lie to me, and give me one last choice?

Would you lie to me, as the angels turn their heads?

Would you lie to me, or speak the truth instead?

Would you lie to me?

I’ve seen the prophets and the saints who lost their way

I’ve heard the lovers swear their vows and then betray

The mirror shows a man who’s tired of the fight

Who longs for comfort in the middle of the night

Your hands are trembling as you reach to touch my face

I see the mercy and the fear in your embrace

The question hangs like smoke above this dying flame

Would you save me darling from this bitter game

If the angel comes with mercy in his hand

I'll beg him softly for one final stand

Would you lie to me, when the truth is too cruel?

Would you lie to me, and play the gentle fool?

Would you lie to me, to keep the darkness stayed?

Would you lie to me, when the night turns to day?

Would you lie to me, with your soft and sacred voice?

Would you lie to me, and give me one last choice?

Would you lie to me, as the angels turn their heads?

Would you lie to me, or speak the truth instead?

Would you lie to me?

Would you lie to me…

Or speak the truth instead…
