The great deception... ception... ception... ception... ception... ception... ception... ception... ception... |
|
See the king and the queen, they were under bosses |
|
Ruling everything, their dominion was exhausted (Now let every creeping thing) except for |
|
God himself |
|
And each other, but they represented |
|
God himself |
|
In his image of perfection, joy, bliss, it was paradise |
|
But I can hear the ploy, the hiss (no more being nice) |
|
Of the serpent who slithers in the grass |
|
And calls into question, the giver of the task (are you sure) |
|
I know they brew over me (I'm the beast of the field) |
|
But how can |
|
I persuade them (gotta get us out their minds) |
|
Make'em think that they are animals (make'em think they are the king) |
|
Then I can degrade them (then I got'em, I got'em) |
|
This is my plot, but |
|
I'll have to use their appetites to twit them in a knot (Tell'em they can be like God) |
|
Then maybe |
|
I can win |
|
If I could use |
|
Adam's appetite to make him sin [Chorus:] |
|
I never saw me stumbling, |
|
I never thought |
|
I'd fall The day that |
|
You created me, |
|
I know You gave |
|
Your all You put so much of |
|
You in me |
|
I almost lost it all |
|
The great deception... ception... ception... ception |
|
Look at the queen of the universe, walking in the garden |
|
The image bearing empress, conversing with the fallen (Serpent who was crawling) the evil spirit of |
|
Eden Who tried to redefine the definition of freedom |
|
Ju... ju... ju... ju... ju... ju... just eat the fruit from the tree |
|
You are a goddess, you are deity |
|
You are much more than |
|
God has revealed |
|
Go ahead Eve exercise your reveal |
|
Distinguish for yourself, good and evil |
|
But who am |
|
I, I'm just a beast of the field |
|
No the fruit is not lethal, just eat see how it makes you feel |
|
And how it makes you think, and how it makes you act |
|
Fact! Your |
|
God has been holding back |
|
Scratch that, |
|
He is flat out lie |
|
If you eat from the tree you will not surely die [Chorus:] |
|
I never saw me stumbling, |
|
I never thought |
|
I'd fall The day that |
|
You created me, |
|
I knew You gave |
|
Your all You put so much of |
|
You in me |
|
I almost lost it all |
|
The great deception (ception, ception, ception) |
|
From the dawn of history, the mystery of lawlessness |
|
Hijack the cosmic order, interrupted flawlessness |
|
Introduce fallenness and now the servant-king |
|
Who used to rule the land forfeited everything |
|
And now the image bearers, |
|
Adam and Eve |
|
Gave up their authority and were forced to leave |
|
The sanctuary of |
|
Eden, The world was the kingdom |
|
But Adam brought the curse |
|
Because of his disobedience |
|
Now demonic powers, rule the universe |
|
Satan is the leader, and death is the curse |
|
The Father sent |
|
Jesus, to come press reverse |
|
But he had to hit the wilderness first |
|
To overcome temptation, overcome sin |
|
These are the things that are common to man |
|
And that's exactly what he did, after the resurrection |
|
The safest place to be is in |
|
Him for protection |
|
For perfection |
|
For correction |
|
To escape the great deception |
|
Overcome temptation |
|
Overcome sin |
|
Overcome temptation |
|
Overcome sin (over-overcome sin) |
|
After the resurrection |
|
The safest place to be is in |
|
Him for protection (for protection) |
|
For perfection (for perfection) |
|
For correction (for correction) |
|
To escape the great deception... ception... ception... ception... ception... ception... ception... ception... ception... |
