I AM DECEIVER

I AM DECEIVER!

I AM THE DARKNESS OF THE DARKEST SOUL
DECEPTION, LIES, ARE MY HIGHEST GOAL
ANYTHING TO KEEP YOU MIND OFF OF
THE LORD, THE SAVIOR AND AUTHOR OF LOVE

AM I EVIL? SILLY CHILD, VERY MUCH YES
THOUGH I USE GOOD CAUSES IN MY QUEST
ROAD TO HELL IS PAVED WITH GOOD INTENTIONS  
I AM THE PAVER—IN ALL MY PRETENTIONS

I AM THE LOVER OF WRONG, THE SERPENT OF HELL
I ACCEPT YOUR WORSHIP, OF ME OR ANOTHER TALE
EVEN WORSHIP OF CHRIST, BUT WITH A TWIST!
 I'LL HOLD YOU TIGHTER, THE MORE YOU RESIST

NO, I'M  NOT SOME DEMON OF A NIGHTMARE
BUT I'M AN ANGEL OF LIGHT, SO BEWARE!
FOR THOUGH YOU SEE MY FACE SHALL CHANGE
MY NATURE IS THE SAME, ITS NEVER STRANGE

AND IT'S IN YOUR WORDS  IN YOUR DEEDS I HIDE
I DANCE IN YOUR ARROGANCE,REJOICE IN YOUR PRIDE
I'M THE ENEMY WITHOUT,  THE FRIEND AT YOUR GATE
BY THE TIME YOU EVEN SEE ME, ITS FAR TOO LATE

GODS OPPOSITE I'M NOT, I'M JUST GOOD GONE BAD
LOES AND PERVERSION THE ONLY TOOLS I'VE HAD
BUT I ASSURE YOU THAT'S ENOUGH TO ENSNARE YOU
FOR YOU WON'T EVER SEEK THAT WHICH IS TRUE

I WANT YOU TO LOOK AT EVERYTHING, ‘CEPT HIM AND ME
IF YOU LOOK AT ME, YOU MIGHT SEE HIM AND BE FREE
FOR IN TRUTH I AM EVERYTHING HE IS NOT
I'M ALREADY DEFEATED, IN THE END ILL BE CAUGHT

BUT I TELL YOU THIS, ILL TAKE YOU DOWN
LIKE A SNAKE I STRIKE WITHOUT A SOUND
AND YOUR ONLY HELP, WELL YOU SO RARELY SEEK
AND ALL ELSE IS  VAIN, AND FAR TOO WEAK

IM NIGHT, WHERE ONCE THERE WAS DAY
I AM ALL— IF YOU NEVER PRAY
FOR I AM THE PRICE THAT YOU ALL OWE
I AM THE ONE YOU CAN'T TELL NO

AND THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY TO STOP ME
AND I PROMISE THERE'S NO OTHER FEE
AND I CAN FOREVER SHUT YOUR EYES
IF YOU CAST OFF RIGHTEOUS  HOLY TIES

FOR MY NAME YOU KNOW, IS DECEIVER
I AM  THE PRIZE FOR EVERY UNBELIEVER
I AM DAMNATION, YOUR SOUL’S PERIL
FOR THOSE WHO REJECT LIFE ETERNAL
AMEN
