Deceiver
Soen Lyrics

Love, light, have abandoned our side
Our lives lack love and light, leaving us feeling hopeless and stagnant

Leaving us dull without will to thrive
Without love and light, we lack the motivation to pursue a fulfilling life

Lives pass uneventfully by
Our lives lack excitement or meaning

Anything challenging set aside
We avoid challenging experiences or opportunities for growth

Stand by, let the tension arrive
We welcome deception as a source of excitement and change, even if it causes tension

Grateful receive what deceit provides
We are thankful for deception, as it provides us with some sense of fulfillment or purpose

This vice is a sinful ally
Deception is our harmful but necessary companion

Fading to black every glimpse of light
Deception blurs and eventually erases the little bits of light and hope we have left

When the heart is young and the will is strong
When we are young and full of energy and determination,

You expect yourself to conquer
We expect to overcome any and all obstacles in our way

But the winds of time will disperse the signs
But as time passes, our sense of direction and purpose fades

That you left to find your trail
The signs and clues we left for ourselves to follow will become meaningless and scattered

In the waters of sin
We will fully immerse ourselves in wrongdoing

I will drown my awareness of you
We will try to forget the things that once brought us love and light in our lives

You have always been there
Despite our efforts to forget, our past and the things we once loved linger in our minds

Covering the sun
Our past casts a shadow over our current experiences, making it hard to find joy or happiness

Aching in my chest
We feel a deep sense of sadness and longing for the things we have lost

Someday I will do as you say
One day we will succumb to deception and follow its lead

Cracking my armour to break away
We will let our defenses down and blindly follow our destructive habits

All blame I assign to myself
We take on all responsibility for our situation and the harm we cause others

Carrying the guilt of a doom we share
We carry a heavy burden of guilt for our actions and the consequences they bring to ourselves and others

You're my shadow within
The things we once loved and lost still haunt us and influence our actions

And I'll give what I harvest to you
We will continue to give into our destructive habits and be controlled by them

In the river of shame
We will be consumed by a sense of guilt and shame for our actions

Certain we immerse
We will fully surrender to our destructive habits and ways

Preying on the blessed
Our actions will harm and hurt those who are innocent and undeserving

In the waters of sin
We will continue to be consumed by wrongdoing and harmful habits

You have always been there
Despite our efforts to forget, our past and the things we once loved linger in our minds

Covering the sun
Our past casts a shadow over our current experiences, making it hard to find joy or happiness

Aching in my chest
We feel a deep sense of sadness and longing for the things we have lost
