Mask of the Great Deceiver Songtext
von Kansas

Well, he′s the prince of the world, his work is never complete
And though he promises all, you'll lie a slave at his feet
Don′t you know the world is his dominion?
Can't you see that he keeps it in chains?
Time is short, so take your strength in what remains, yeah

Oh, he will fill up your ears, and he'll dazzle your eyes
But don′t believe what he′s saying, 'cause he′s the father of lies, yeah
In the end, don't you know that he′ll betray you?
In the end, he will drag you away
'Til all the world is crying for the judgement day

Yeah, he′s fallen, yeah, he's fallen
From the height of the morning star
Though his light's still shining brightly
Oh, he′s the mask of the great deceiver, oh-eh


Though the truth has walked among us
And the words that he spoke will remain
There′s a heartbreaking blindness upon us
All our efforts to be free are in vain
Without the gift of love
We're lost without the love, oh

Though he never will rest, oh, until his evil is done
And he don′t want you to know your freedom's already won, yeah
Don′t you know the world is his dominion?
Can't you see that he keeps it in chains?
Time is short, so take your strength in what remains, yeah

He′s fallen, oh, he's fallen
From the height of the morning star
Though his light's still shining brightly
Oh, he′s the mask of the great deceiver
The mask of the great deceiver

He′s gonna make you a believer
To tell you lies
