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,

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 that 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 don't know

You are called greed and you're a cheat

You are the downfall

You are, you are, you are the maker

You are called greed and you're a cheat
