Mask of the Great Deceiver
well he's the prince of the world his work is never complete
and though he promises all you'll lie a slave at his feet
don't you know the world is his dominion?
can't you see that you're bound in his chains?
the time is short so take your strength in what remains
he will fill up your ears and he'll dazzle your eyes
but don't believe what he's saying 'cause he's the father of lies
in your heart don't you know that he'll betray you?
in the end he will drag you away
till all the world is crying for the judgement day
and he's fallen how he's fallen
from the height of the morning star
though his light's still shining brightly
it's the mask of the great deceiver
the great deceiver
though the truth has walked among us
and the words that he spoke will remain
there's a heartbreaking blindness upon us
all our efforts to be free are in vain
without the gift of love
we're lost without the love
well he never will rest until his evil is done
and he don't want you to know your freedom's already won
don't you know the world is his dominion?
can't you see he keeps it in chains?
time is short so take your strength in what remains
he's fallen oh he's fallen
from the height of the morning star
though his light's still shining brightly
it's the mask of the great deceiver
the mask of the great deceiver
he's going to make you a believer
he'll tell you lies
he'll betray your eyes
the great deceiver
and though he promises all you'll lie a slave at his feet
don't you know the world is his dominion?
can't you see that you're bound in his chains?
the time is short so take your strength in what remains
he will fill up your ears and he'll dazzle your eyes
but don't believe what he's saying 'cause he's the father of lies
in your heart don't you know that he'll betray you?
in the end he will drag you away
till all the world is crying for the judgement day
and he's fallen how he's fallen
from the height of the morning star
though his light's still shining brightly
it's the mask of the great deceiver
the great deceiver
though the truth has walked among us
and the words that he spoke will remain
there's a heartbreaking blindness upon us
all our efforts to be free are in vain
without the gift of love
we're lost without the love
well he never will rest until his evil is done
and he don't want you to know your freedom's already won
don't you know the world is his dominion?
can't you see he keeps it in chains?
time is short so take your strength in what remains
he's fallen oh he's fallen
from the height of the morning star
though his light's still shining brightly
it's the mask of the great deceiver
the mask of the great deceiver
he's going to make you a believer
he'll tell you lies
he'll betray your eyes
the great deceiver
