Deceiver of Fools

He feeds on fear He feeds on hate He rules again With growing hate He will gain their faith again Light in the darkness is too small to see There's always a sparkle of hope If you just believe He told the tale so many times About the dream not meant to be In the world of the free He plays with your mind As faith for the future faded fast He grows strong with their displeasure It sets him free Deceiver of hearts Deceiver of fools He rules with fear Deceiver of hearts Deceiver of fools He rules again He feeds on fear Poisons the truth To gain their faith To lead the way To a world of decay He rules your heart He will sell your soul to the grave Without a hesitation to make He belongs to the dark Please awake And see the truth He can only be If you believe what he tells you Remember who you are What you stand for And there will always be a way In my heart there is a place In my heart there is a trace Of a small fire burning A sheltering ray shines through this night Although it's small, it's bright But darkness is lurking He will sell your soul to bitterness and cold All fear him Deceiver of hearts Deceiver of fools He rules with fear Deceiver of hearts Deceiver of fools Shall he rule again? --- Deceiver of Fools - Within Temptation
