| 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... |
