Flame - The Great Deception lyrics
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 gra** 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 d**h 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...
