THE GREAT DECEIVER LYRICS

1. Pierced

With your insect eyes
You're blind to the world
A void inside
Pierced to the absurd
Drain me bastards
Uphold the lie
Suffocating in silence
I swallow my pride

We're feeding the black hole
3RD from the sun
A spawn of this system
With a wish and a gun
Drain me bastards
Feed me with lies
Suffocating in silence
I swallow my pride

Pierced to the absurd

Drain me bastards
Uphold the lie
You can feel the system
As it cuts like a knife
Self-righteous bastards
All dead inside
From the depths of my soul
I feel the demons rise

Materialism
The earth it bleeds
Torn apart by nausea
And the demons of greed
Drain me bastards
Uphold the lie
Suffocating in silence
I swallow my pride

I've got to escape this tomb
3RD from the sun
This world of fakes
My life it has ceased
But my pain it lives on
As I rise from the dead
Pierced to the absurd

2. The Living End

When you're ripe - i'll bleed you
Dry of all your hope
I'll plauge your worthless soul blind
Rotten to the core
Rotten to the core

I am destruction, famine and plauge
At the end of all dead-end streets
I am disease, I eclipse the sun
There's nothing else but me

When you're at ease - i'll starve you
Drag you through the waste
I'll numb the pain - then sting you
Suffer the aftertaste
Suffer the aftertaste

I am destruction, famine and plauge
At the end of all dead-end streets
I am disease, I eclipse the sun
There's nothing else but me

The living end
The living end
There's nothing else but me
There's nothing else but me

I am destruction, famine and plauge
At the end of all dead-end streets
I am disease, I eclipse the sun
There's nothing else but me

3. Poisoned Chalice

Infestation
- Apathy spreads like the plauge
Worlwide regression
- As our lives are spent wasting away
Degenreation
- All righteous pigs will pay
Intellectual shutdown
- Monotony breeds dinosaur ways

Consuming the earth like a war
Festering demons breed in open sores
Soaring the skies like a plauge
Mankind runs amok in catatonic rage

Poisoned Chalice
Parasites drink from our soul
Heritage of a generation cold
Poisoned chalice
Sheep in a flock yet alone
Heritage of a generation cold

Indoctrination
- Paving the golden way
The world keeps turning
- Turning faster day by day

Consuming the earth like a war
Festering demons breed in open sores
Soaring the skies like a plauge
Mankind runs amok in catatonic rage

4. After Us The Flood

Trough the ruins the currents tear
In a final tidal surge
Redemption - for the deviant ones
In a violent storm submerged

Regeneration of makind
All our nightmares come alive

Death or desperation
We stare blind inot the void
Mankind in submission
Trough cleansing storms reborn

Regeneration of mankind
Akk our nightmares come alive

Grinding wheels of terror
Your death it will be slow
Unleash the demons blind
After us the flood

Ritual of submission
A life not longer yours
Unholy furnace scorching the earth
In a cleansing storm reborn

Regeneration of mankind
All our nightmares come alive

Dead-end nation, ravaged and torn
All our morals lie rotten
To the lake of Sulphur
-Cold hearts they are sworn
Dead - buried - forgotten

Regeneration of mankind
All our nighmares come alive

5. Enter The Martyrs

Wading trough lies
Knee-deep in filth
For a taste of their wisdom
The knowledge they preach
Man is but mice
Food for the cataclysm
Food for the cataclysm

Enter the martyrs
Enter the martyrs

Crawling the earth
Bloodstained our eyes
In our thirst for redemption
In crucifix dreams
The rush of stigmata
The sting of the needle of god
The sting of the needle of god

Enter the martyrs
Enter the martyrs

Enter the martyrs
The saints of corruption
Enter the martyrs

6. The Demon's Lair

All these hollow shells
Filled with nothing but revenge
There's no room for the weak
As the hammer descends
There's no tortured cries
Only deafening silence again
So distorted and thin
Where will it end?
Where will it end?

Deliver us from evil
Our lives are drained
And filled with fascist pride
You're losing it all
Withdrawal - pain is hard

As one with the demon
The blood is on your hands
The flesh that never rests
Ripped to shreds
How it's your cross to bear
As the beast is born within
Straight into the end
As the hammer descends
As the hammer descends

There's no room for the weak
As the hammer of the gods descends
As the hammer of the gods descends

Deliver us from evil
Our lives are drained
And filled with fascist pride
You're losing it all
Withdrawal - is hard
Deliver us from hatred
Our lives are drained
And filled with fascist pride
You're losing it all
Withdrawal - pain is hard

7. Arsenic Dreams

Arsenic dreams and shattered hopes
In darkness steeped
Venomous souls
Sedated lives at reptile speed
Stripped of hope and left to bleed

I find myself smaller and smaller
Each and every day
Rejections, expectations
Crush me with their weight

Arsenic dreams and shattered hopes
In darkness steeped
Venomous souls

Arsenic dreams rush burning cold
In darkness steeped
Anguish unfolds
Within man beats the heart of disease
As the earth drinks the blood of the meek

Arsenic dreams burning cold
In darkness steeped
Anguish unfolds

No gods, no masters, no pre-destined fate
Armageddon lies dormant inside us
I see your creation foaming with rage
Misanthropic and righteaous

Arsenic dreams and shattered hopes
In darkness steeped
Venomous souls
Arsenic dreams
No gods, no masters, no pre-destined fate
Armageddon lies domant inside us
I see your creation foaming with rage
Misanthropic and righteous

The world turns under the burning sky

8. Strychnine

Walking time-bomb
Living sin
Monument of lies
Raised within

You know that i'm the only one
Who could save you from yourself
The swing of the axe shines white
Now taste the cut
I'll burn the pain
Right out of your soul
I'm in your veins now
And i'm in control

I am Strychnine
I'll save you from a life in shackles
My white heat burns your eye
I am Strychnine
I am Strychnine

Crowned in blinding light
As your souls is torned apart
A hollow shell in shock
I'm like razors trough your heart
I'm the only one
So lose yourself in me
Have no fear, your souls will be mine
For all eternity

Walking time-bomb
Living sin
Mounment of lies
Raised within

9. The Blade

In 1972
The poison is born anew
The drug is alive
The end is me and you

You make each dawn a switchblade
Betray all your best friends
In every breath a swicthblade
In the mirror the eyes of a dead man
You make each dawn a switchblade
Betray all your best friends
In every breath a switchblade

And as our hope dissolves
We'll twist that knife again
Chains forged in life
Knuckles white, bent on revenge

What you don't know will hurt you
What you don't know will hurt you

You make each dawn a switchblade
Betray all your best friends
In every breath a switchblade
In the mirror the eyes of a dead man
You make each dawn a switchblade
Betray all your best friends
In every breath a switchblade

In 1792
The poison is born anew
The drug is alive
The end is me and you
1972
1972
1972
1972
1972

10. Leave It All Behind

Your lack of self-respect
Always leaves you wanting more
I see you - selling yourself
-Way too short
Trust me i've been there before

Leave it all behind
Leave it all behind
Feed them all your pride
Leave it all behind

Promised myself i'd never hurt you
I promised myslef i'd care

Purit is all illusion
And I promised myslef i'd try
Now i'm bored with lies
And turning away - leave it all behind

Feed them all your pride
Leave it all behind
Leave it all behind

I wish that I could love
That I could hate sometimes
Maybe you could have saved me
Saved me from going blind

Feed them all your pride
Leave it all behind
Leave it all behind

11. Destroy / Adore

The cult of apathy
The misanthropic seed
A ritual of deceit
Sleeping with the enemy

Worship discharge - blind
In denial reconciled
A venom well - designed
Martyrs For us to idolize

The slaughter of inocence
In silence stripped of hope
We bear witness to the massacre
The missantropic seed of neglect
Ritual of deceit
Sleepng with the enemy

The grandeur, the passion
In submission, stripped of all our hope
The slaughter of innocence
We destroy what we adore

The void of vanity
The nihilistic breed
Virus of jealousy
Suicidal fasihon freaks

Seductive Media - play
Introducing death as the greatest star
A cynical grin
In alienation sheltered hearts

The slaughter of innocence
In silence stripped of hope
We bear witness to the end of man
A nihilistic seed of contempt
Void of vanity
Sucidal fasion freaks
