The Great Deception
Lyrics
Verse 1
[M] They point at the silver sky
[F] And call it a holy sign
[M] But I hear the velvet lie
[F] Crawling in the back of time
[M] Little eyes on every screen
[F] Feeding on the fear they bleed
[M] Painting shadows over dreams
[F] While they plant the buried seed
Pre-Chorus
[M] And it’s coming
[F] Coming near
[M] Names in the smoke
[F] Make it clear
[M] We won’t kneel
[F] We won’t fold
[M] When the truth wakes up
[F] And the story gets sold
Chorus
[M] Great Deception
[F] Great Deception
[M] Heaven’s mask
[F] Falling fast
[M] Great Deception
[F] Great Deception
[M] Don’t believe
[F] Don’t believe the flash
[M] It’s a lure in the dark
[F] It’s a crown made of glass
[M] Great Deception
[F] Great Deception
Verse 2
[M] Metal lights over empty fields
[F] Cold as a machine can feel
[M] Voices sweet, but none are real
[F] Every promise comes to kneel
[M] They arrive in a flood of awe
[F] With a polished smile and law
[M] Tell the crowd, “Don’t question more”
[F] Then they shut the broken door
Pre-Chorus
[M] And it’s coming
[F] Coming near
[M] Names in the smoke
[F] Make it clear
[M] We won’t kneel
[F] We won’t fold
[M] When the truth wakes up
[F] And the story gets sold
Chorus
[M] Great Deception
[F] Great Deception
[M] Heaven’s mask
[F] Falling fast
[M] Great Deception
[F] Great Deception
[M] Don’t believe
[F] Don’t believe the flash
[M] It’s a lure in the dark
[F] It’s a crown made of glass
[M] Great Deception
[F] Great Deception
Bridge
[F] When the silver curtain shakes
[M] We’ll know what the silence makes
[F] Every false dawn burns away
[M] Every chain will lose its name
[F] If they come with borrowed light
[M] We will stand and hold the line
[F] Truth won’t bow to all their signs
[M] Truth survives
Final Chorus
[M] Great Deception
[F] Great Deception
[M] Heaven’s mask
[F] Falling fast
[M] Great Deception
[F] Great Deception
[M] Don’t believe
[F] Don’t believe the flash
[M] It’s a lure in the dark
[F] It’s a crown made of glass
[M] Great Deception
[F] Great Deception
