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...
