Tome of Deceit Lyrics


Cries! A child is born anew tonight

Baptized in light and swaddled tight

Innocence unbridled shining bright

The only glimpse of life before the lies

A twisted fable in disguise

The flock led to their own demise

A lifelong death sentence without trial

When warring faiths live in denial

Historic fallacy exemplary

Bound to the creed of the tome of deceit

A long and drawn out liars' decree

Confounded Confined within their beliefs

Onward the apostles read

The prophecy of hypocrisy

An odyssey in utter mockery

To sow the seeds of theocracy

Father! I come to thee, I must lament

I must confess I fear descent

If god truly is omnipotent

I fear we shan't be heaven sent

The atrocities I've seen, to me I keep

But I'm far too gone to try to save

Counting beads on rosaries

Won't stop the flames from burning free.

Historic fallacy exemplary

Bound to the creed of the tome of deceit

A long and drawn out liars' decree

Confounded Confined within their beliefs

Onward the apostles read

The prophecy of hypocrisy

An odyssey in utter mockery

To sow the seeds of theocracy

Lies! When you lay upon your bed of death

Taken your last breath and laid to rest

And you've left this world of the bereft

No afterlife awaits the end
