The Deceiver, The Maker Lyrics

An ancient world

Of bone and skull

And there stood

An altar

Shimmering

A violent bloodletting

A violent bloodletting

An ancient world

At the center of a city

Made by ancient rhythmicity

In a gateway to another plane

They promise you a place

You see

Little devils dancin' in a cave

All the ones that you could never save

They sold you a spot in heaven

But you ended up in flames

Ahh

You had wished for it to happen

And lamented when it failed

Now their eyes are on you all times

So careful what you say

Ohh

A temple maze

With an altar where the lambs will lay

What used to be a sacred place

Is now a den of thievery

And place of policy

Evil debts

Manufactured in the name of greed

On a raft in a tumultuous sea

Now they've captured you for eternity

And it's washin' over me

And ahh

You had wished for it to happen

And lamented when it failed

Now their eyes are on you all times

So careful what you sayyy

Speak of the devil

Speak of the devil

Conspirin' against the world

Burned at the stake

Burned at the stake

Eyes of white

Twistin' fingers restin' on the hills

Giant wings that twist like windmills

Little one, did the village burn?

Did the evil still return?

And in truth

I confess that I am not to save

All the souls that can't afford to pay

For a ticket to the promised land

But still they raise their hands

Ha ha ha ha ha haaaa

What's another thousand years to me?

The sands of time wash me away

Alien sounds

In a language I can't understand

Million symbols written on their hands

They will guide me through eternity

Or tie me to the tree

And now I am

On an altar of brutality

With the blood of ancient men on me

I am sacrifice for all their deeds

And conduit for their need

To please

The deceiver and the maker

The deceiver and the maker

The deceiver and the maker

An ancient world

Of bone and skull
