FLAME - The Great Deception Lyrics
See the king and the queen, they were under bossesRuling everything, their dominion was exhausted(Now let every creeping thing) except for God himselfAnd each other, but they represented God himselfIn his image of perfection, joy, bliss, it was paradiseBut I can hear the ploy, the hiss (no more being nice)Of the serpent who slithers in the grassAnd 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 winIf I could use Adam's appetite to make him sin[Chorus:]I never saw me stumbling, I never thought I'd fallThe day that You created me, I know You gave Your allYou put so much of You in meI almost lost it allThe great deception... ception... ception... ceptionLook at the queen of the universe, walking in the gardenThe image bearing empress, conversing with the fallen(Serpent who was crawling) the evil spirit of EdenWho tried to redefine the definition of freedomJu... ju... ju... ju... ju... ju... just eat the fruit from the treeYou are a goddess, you are deityYou are much more than God has revealedGo ahead Eve exercise your revealDistinguish for yourself, good and evilBut who am I, I'm just a beast of the fieldNo the fruit is not lethal, just eat see how it makes you feelAnd how it makes you think, and how it makes you actFact! Your God has been holding backScratch that, He is flat out lieIf you eat from the tree you will not surely die[Chorus:]I never saw me stumbling, I never thought I'd fallThe day that You created me, I knew You gave Your allYou put so much of You in meI almost lost it allThe great deception (ception, ception, ception)From the dawn of history, the mystery of lawlessnessHijack the cosmic order, interrupted flawlessnessIntroduce fallenness and now the servant-kingWho used to rule the land forfeited everythingAnd now the image bearers, Adam and EveGave up their authority and were forced to leaveThe sanctuary of Eden, The world was the kingdomBut Adam brought the curseBecause of his disobedienceNow demonic powers, rule the universeSatan is the leader, and death is the curseThe Father sent Jesus, to come press reverseBut he had to hit the wilderness firstTo overcome temptation, overcome sinThese are the things that are common to manAnd that's exactly what he did, after the resurrectionThe safest place to be is in Him for protectionFor perfectionFor correctionTo escape the great deceptionOvercome temptationOvercome sinOvercome temptationOvercome sin (over-overcome sin)After the resurrectionThe 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...
