Kerry Livgren - Mask Of The Great Deceiver lyrics

well he's the prince of the world his work is never complete and though he promises all you'll lie a slave at his feet don't you know the world is his dominion? can't you see that you're bound in his chains? the time is short so take your strength in what remains he will fill up your ears and he'll dazzle your eyes but don't believe what he's saying 'cause he's the father of lies in your heart don't you know that he'll betray you? in the end he will drag you away till all the world is crying for the judgement day and he's fallen how he's fallen from the height of the morning star though his light's still shining brightly it's the mask of the great deceiver the great deceiver though the truth has walked among us and the words that he spoke will remain there's a heartbreaking blindness upon us all our efforts to be free are in vain without the gift of love we're lost without the love well he never will rest until his evil is done and he don't want you to know your freedom's already won don't you know the world is his dominion? can't you see he keeps it in chains? time is short so take your strength in what remains he's fallen oh he's fallen from the height of the morning star though his light's still shining brightly it's the mask of the great deceiver the mask of the great deceiver he's going to make you a believer he'll tell you lies he'll betray your eyes the great deceiver
