THE GREAT DECEIVER LYRICS

1. Today (Is The Tomorrow That You Were Promised Yesterday)

Towards the horizon
Dark as the December sun
In straight lines
The sons and the daughters
Of generation to come
In the flickering light
Vulgar creatures
Disgusted by what they have become
Pre-Fabricated dreams
The heel on the throat of the young
Today is the tomorrow
That you were promised yesterday
The more that you give
The more they will take
Disappointment Moving fast
In the world of the slow
A heretic of the golden age
Dying to steal the show
Today is the tomorrow
That you were promised yesterday
The more that you give
The more they will take
You`re fooled to believe that you`re free
Chained to a life of deceit
You`re fooled to believe that you need
All that they want you to need
(with the breaking light of another day)

2. We - The Dead

Bathe my path in your shining light
Only to disappear
The bells of reckoning
Ringing high and clear
Under the heavens
Dressed in the flesh of a dying race
The more we die out and decay
The less our gods they shall weep
Our lives are nothing but thaw
In the final summer of the gods
We - the dead
We - the dead
Under the heavens of shifting skies
through wretched years of wrong
An omen of a heathen hope
Distant echoes of bronze
The shroud of man
Dragged through the ashes of a burning land
the more we die out and decay
The less our gods they shall weep
Our lives are nothing but thaw
In the final summer of the gods
We - the dead
We - the dead
We - the goatherd
We - the dead
We - the real world
We - the dead under the heavens
Dressed in the flesh of a dying race

3. Lake Of Sulphur

A market built upon isolation
Statues of ignorance and waste
A sad trophy - a monolith
of over advanced technology
Materialistic values enthroned
Crucify the whores of Babylon
The state has ordered a persecution
A capitalistic death-machine
For the spectators - A victory
A totalitarian war - regime
Materialistic values enthroned
Crucify the whores of Babylon
Lake of sulphur
Lake of sulphur
To tread the tracks of exile
Our demons they will never yield
Cut the addiction and sleep forever more
Buried in flames - The beats is finally dead
A phoenix with broken wings
My heart is but an instrument if you crush it
it will sing
Materialistic values enthroned
Crucify the whores of Babylon
Lake of Sulphur
Lake of sulphur

4. From Bereavement To Resignation

Faceless masses paralysed
Into position we`ll fall
The gardens of Eden in turmoil the waters black with ash
Accepting blind the gift of ease
While the parasites feast
In the lungs of hell we can`t breathe
From bereavement to resignation
An emotional inquisition
From bereavement to resignation
Where the last bit of patience ends
Every decibel of silence will be heard
From the sacred and the profane
To the ordinary and mundane
A social machine demonic asleep at the wheel
Accelerating through lives of burning thirst
From bereavement to resignation
An emotional inquisition
From bereavement to resignation
A designer disease
Our lives remain incomplete
In propaganda sermons
Our words become obsolete

5. Marathon Man

Angels, insects
Inticate patterns
To explain away the chaos
You call on me
You inner wasteland
You call on me
I`m the marathon man
Corrosive - as all imitation resigns
Erosive - Bible - black by design
Like a monolith
Stands the marathon man
An icon of decadence
Like a monolith
I`m the marathon man
Your inner wasteland
Weightless, fevered
Through rigid structures
We delete all imperfection
You call on me
Your inner wasteland
You call on me
I�m the marathon man
Like a monolith
Stands the marathon man
An icon of decadence
Like a monolith
I`m the marathon man
Your inner wasteland

6. The Heel On The Throat Of The Young

Our is the golden future
As the heavy words softly roll
Ringing in our ears as we sit idly by
Towering towards the heavens
The hell that we have built
We created a monster
And now it`s coming for our children
Thrust into the stained skies
For efficiency passified
We are but components of their machine
COMPONENTS
I fast-forward through the film
To get what I must hace missed
We bleed, we breathe
But we don`t live - we exist
Precious things that do no last
Our lips pressed to the decay
The master-plan will fall loud
As we sit idly by
As god moves across the water
the lie moves through us all
We created a monster
And now it`s coming for our children
Thrust into the stained skies
For efficiency passified
We are but components of their machine
COMPONENTS
I fast-forward through the film
To get what I must hace missed
We bleed, we breathe
But we don`t live - we exist

7. Faust In Exile

If the walls of this cathedral could speak
Of all righteous and secret essence
Of isolation, chosen or not
My desperation, as the doors they close behind me
My angst-ridden citadel
So sinister and isolated
Faust in exile
Coiled to the sky - stalking unseen
the shape of man - twisted and obscene
Faust in exile
What we seek shall never find
Pagan rebirth in commercial design
I am but one out of all that walk blind
A pilgrimage for the promised land
All pathetic attempts of a normal life
Lost in the hive
Faust in exile
Collied in the sky - stalking unseen
Faust in exile - Faust in exile
The shape of man - twisted and obscene
An ancient relic - Faust in exile
Coiled to the sky
I`m just Faust in exile
Faust in exile
Faust in exile

8. Forward / Willing / Sickness

As the symbols are ingrained and the skylines erected
In the blood of or offspring the earth of tomorrow is soaked
When the breaking light of another day shall dawn for man
The willing host of the ill ones
Shall inhabit the wastelands
Poison
Instinct
Boneless
Confining walls
Weak flesh
Crawling
Prison
Our plastic perfection is a thin disguise
A sickness sculptured by faithful hands
Ours is the illusion - Even in death
As the hedonist shadows swallow mankind
Flesh and bone were to fall in the end
Forward
Willing
Sickness
Into marble halls
Plastic
Fragile
Surface
The faithful hands
Weak flesh
Crawling
Prison
Forward
Willing
Sickness
Into marble halls
Forward
Plastic
Fragile
Surface

9. Conspiracy Theorist

This trend-conscious arena will grow as we conform
Like a cattle we are pushed to where plastic dreams are sold
Through information OVERLOAD
Conspiracy of the world unite
Each comfort has a price
Through her window they stare at her
She resigns
Billboards with perfect teeth
Inside
Promises, illusions
How passionate we cling to thee
All these strategies and schemes, I still live in my dreams
It`s obvious to both of us who will end up being used
Remember, They want you confused
Promises of earthly bliss pollute our minds
Each comfort has a price
Through her window they stare at her
She resigns
Billboards with perfect teeth
Inside
Promises, illusions
How passionate we cling to thee
All lies
Quick and smooth salvation
She resigns
At your altar she`ll find peace
Inside
Stream-lined consumerism
for the intellectual beast

10. Worm Of Truth

I couldn`t stress the importance enough
Of my presence in your lives today
Without me you would all think for yourselves
The comfort of not knowing would be taken away
So bring to light the worm of truth
Buried deep in tomorrows news
So bring to light the worm of truth
The worm of truth
In dreams I see the cities
Cleansed by raging fires
I stared straight into the sun
And joined in the dissonant choirs
So bring to light the worm of truth
Buried deep in tomorrows news
So bring to light the worm of truth
The worm of truth
A cynical grin, that sharp with resentment
Protection from a world so vile
A sheltered life, drained from all that cant hut me
So shallow and thin but mine
So bring to light the worm of truth
Buried deep in tomorrows news
So bring to light the worm of truth
Buried deep in tomorrows news
So keep falling blind into my embrace
Repeating the mistakes of yesterday
