Lord Of Lies
Crematory Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Use the lies you tell
To destroy others
You feel like a king
In his deceptive kingdom
Pull the people who don't
Suit you through the mud
Slander then with nasty words
Your lines are your weapons
Terse with evil words
Because with your lies
You are only betraying yourself

Lord of lies
Don't care about the truth
Lord of lies
Just want your way
Lord of lies
Don't care who you harm
Lord of lies
It's just about getting your way

Determine in your brain
What is truth and what is lie
Put your thoughts on paper
To impose them onto others
You decide what others think
Steer their every move

Quit deciding for others
Stop thinking for them
Because with your lies
You are only betraying yourself

Lord of lies
Don't care about the truth
Lord of lies
Just want your way
Lord of lies
Don't care who you harm




Lord of lies
It's just about getting your way

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Crematory's song Lord of Lies are a criticism of people who use lies and deceit to manipulate others for their own selfish gain. The song describes the destructive effects of these lies, which are used as weapons to destroy the reputations of others, and how the people who use them feel powerful and in control.


The song warns the listener that these lies are self-destructive, as the person who tells them eventually becomes a prisoner of their own falsehoods. Those who live their lives this way are not concerned with the truth or the harm caused by their actions, but only with getting what they want. They seek to control the thoughts and actions of others, to impose their beliefs on them and steer their every move.


In essence, the song's message is that lies are a self-destructive path to take in life, and those who use them ultimately harm themselves. It's important to be true to oneself and to speak the truth, even if it may not always be easy or popular.
