The Deceiver

You are the power and the glory
You are the weakness in defeat
Like the rise and fall of the British Empire
You make me sick with your conceit
You are, you are the weakness
You are, you are, you are
The sickness that’s in my soul
You are you are you are the maker
You are called greed and you’re a cheat
You are you are you are the deceiver
You are not welcome in my life
You are the maker of illusions
You break up every dream we’ve ever made
And as I rise up from the ashes
Wouldn’t you believe it
You raise your ugly head
Have you no shame
Too long, too long you have lain there
Too far too long too strong
Oh I will break your hold
You are you are you are the maker
You are called greed and you’re a cheat
You are you are you are the deceiver
You are not welcome in my life
You are, you are the weakness
Within us
You are, you are, you are, you are the sickness that’s in my soul
You are you are you are the maker
You are called greed and you’re a cheat
You are you are you are the deceiver
You are called greed and you’re a cheat
(You are, you are, you are the maker)
You sow the seeds for our destruction
(You are called greed and you’re a cheat)
You break up everything we’ve done
(You are, you are, you are the deceiver)
You hold your hands out for forgiveness
You bite the hands the hands that feed ya
You are you are you are the maker
You are called greed and you’re a cheat
What prompted you to give it away
You are you are you are the deceiver
You are called greed and you’re a cheat
You are the downfall
You are you are you are the deceiver
