Deception
Unveiling the Web of Deceit: Pestilence's Profound Message
Lyrics
The smokescreen of deceit
The deceptive cover hiding the truth
To cloth the feeble mind
To conceal the vulnerable intellect
Answering our questions and need
Responding to our inquiries and desires
The holy seduction of all mankind
The sacred seduction of the entire human race
Believe and reasoning are one
Belief and rationality presented as a unified concept
Proclaimed by the so called established
Declared by the so-called established authorities
But without deceit the truth is gone
However, in the absence of deception, the truth disappears
And the holy doctrine is dimnished
And the sacred teachings lose their significance
Seeing is believing believing is following
Observation leads to belief, belief leads to obedience
Using the world misery and pain
Exploiting the world's suffering and anguish
To show us how rotten we are
To demonstrate our inherent corruption
In the effort to maintain the holy trinity
In the attempt to sustain the sacred trinity
Effort unreachable and far
An unattainable and distant endeavor
Effort unreachable and far
-Seeing is believing believing is following
Observation leads to belief, belief leads to obedience
Following is religion religion is deception
Obedience becomes a form of worship, and worship is deceptive
Deception is life
Deception is an integral part of life
Portraying the famine of the world
Presenting the world's famine to fulfill greed
To feed the need of the grees
Feeding the insatiable desire for more
Quenching the thirst of the underworld
Quenching the thirst of the hidden, darker aspects of society
Self preservation, a man made disease
Self-preservation, a fabricated ailment of humanity
The smokescreen of deceit
The deceptive cover hiding the truth
To cloth the feeble mind
To conceal the vulnerable intellect
Answering our questions and need
Responding to our inquiries and desires
The holy seduction of mankind, of all mankind
The sacred seduction of all humanity
Seeing is believing believing is following
Observation leads to belief, belief leads to obedience
Following is religion religion is deception
Obedience becomes a form of worship, and worship is deceptive
Deception is life
Deception is an integral part of life
Seeing is believing believing is following
Observation leads to belief, belief leads to obedience
Following is religion religion is deception
Obedience becomes a form of worship, and worship is deceptive
Deception is life
Deception is an integral part of life
