Deception
One blameless sip from your vile
It tastes so good
I’ll stay awhile
At first it's harmless
It seems so right
It gently whispers to you at night
It creeps in more
to satisfy your greed
It takes your soul
the more you feed
Once securely resting there
Deception chooses the clothes you wear
Too hard to break free
It knows your course
A mighty blow with a deadly force
Now it's taken over your soul
It feels impossible to control
Giving in just confirms your doubts
‘I told you so’ is what it shouts
No longer a whisper
It’s all I now hear
Deception is feeding
All of my fears
These thoughts must end
These thoughts I can stop
Ambitiously, I run
Abandoned, I drop
Look over there
Oh, how it shines
Forget your vows
Just drink more wine
Give in to greed
Give in to hate
Give up your heart
Give up your fate
Do you know what waits to catch your fall?
Just listen close...to deception’s call...
