I've been here since the beginning

Know exactly how you work

I know all of your cravings

Know what makes you go berserk

Been lying from the start just to make you play a part

In my infinite rebellion against

the father God

Hate

Everything he is

And I make you hate him too

Make you hate him with your actions it's so easy for me to do

'Cause you like it

Sin feels good for the ego

You love it

Oh, come on baby

Let your hair go

And all the time, I'm winding you up

Like my perfect little puppet, you're my favorite robot

Welcome to the show but I'm watching you and all of hell is with me too

Helping me make my lies look true

Oh and there is a lie that works for everyone, everyone

A lie that opens up your heart so I can get me some more of your free will

I'm winding you

Winding you

Give me the control that's why I'm telling you

Selling you

Anything

Everything

Appealing to your human way of being and I use it all against you to

Just keep your eyes from seeing

Past the life you're living

Past the moment you're in

Past the pleasure of your sin

Or the cigarette you're smoking

Choking on your lust

I'll make you drunk with pride

So deeply spun into my system that you won't see the light

Never mind that I'm drowning you

I keep deceiving you

'Cause I don't tell you

About the God in heaven

Who loves you

Who yearns for you

I don't tell you

About the freedom of forgiveness and truth

Why would I tell you?

Why would I tell you the truth?

But I'll say that

Millions of years ago an accident exploded

And you're the result of this cosmic unknown with

No real purpose, created for no real intent

The reason for your living is just coincidence

So all that remains is what you can gain

Whatever meaning you attach to your days you decide

Mmm, but I help you recognize the important things in life

Introducing... Money it's the root of all evil they say, so

I attach yourself worth to the salary you're paid

Be a slave to your property

Your jewelry

Your cars and things

Advertise that lie up on the tv so you'll want that bling

Selling bit by bit the little pieces of your soul

Climbing up the ladder of economic control

Oh, the greed of man makes it so easy to pervert the father's plan

Or I'll tell you

There is a heaven but there's many ways to get in

Keep you so confused that you stay bound to your sin

Tell you there are many ways to the same God

Keep you distracted with your methods so your heart stays hard

I'll make you think you've got spirituality, but it's really just emotional alchemy

Oh, the vanity of self-idoltary I never let you see that it breeds

Hedonism! Whoo!

And it's the anthem of this generation

Come on, drink it, snort it, smoke it, swallow it

Chew on my illusion of freedom till you vomit it

And still I don't tell you

About the God in heaven

Who loves you

Who yearns for you

I don't tell you

About the freedom of forgiveness and truth

Why would I tell you?

Why would I tell you

the Truth?

Ladies and gentleman,

for the second time tonight

Here he is folks, the accuser of the brethren:

So now you're saved

And you love Jesus in a special way

You know exactly what the Bible says

You go to church and you know all the rest

So you won't sin

You won't feed your flesh in any willful way

Like watching porn or sleeping ‘round

or getting high or telling lies

No you won’t commit these

fundamental sins

Like cheating on your wife

I've had to reinvent new ways

to bring you strife

To harass and to destroy your Christian life

Make you feel tired of always

doing what is right

So...

in little ways

I infiltrate your ordinary days

In little ways

I can trap you and attack you

if you give me space

Oh, in the little ways

You come and open up the door for me...

Like if you are hurt

By someone sitting in this very church

I can slip in this communication gap

Create a canyon where there

was just a tiny crack

And I like how you call that

offense!

The unyielding sense that you've

been wronged

That someone else is to blame or to pay

For the deeply insensitive way

they behaved to you

Or maybe I’ll incite

rebellion!

It won’t allow your heart to submit to your leaders' or to God's discipline

And so your salvation is shallow,

'cause you won’t grow

When it’s your way or the highway

you’ll just fall off the wagon

So I can try a little dose of rejection

One of my favorite inventions

In isolation you’ll give birth to bitterness

Unforgiveness and the likes

are all hidden sin...

Buried in the Bride and It’s keeping them

From shining, shining bright

'Cause when you point at one another you’re just pointing at yourself

While I'm raising hell

'Cause i don’t tell you

That the earth is groaning

for the sons of God

To stand their ground!

No, I don't tell you...

'Bout the power in

h

Her unity,

the Bride of Christ

Why would I tell you

the Truth?

All these micro attitudes that I can use

Slander and gossip will create a magnitude

Known as division in the Church

Right from the start I introduced this at your very birth

'Cause I know you disagree

'Bout whose opinion is correct doctrinally

Like if you should pray in the spirit

or be quiet or be loud

Oh, you argue over all these petty things

Could be everybody’s right?

Instead you stand and watch the liberals unified

Oh, you stand ‘round and watch them changing laws and rights

Replacing systems while as Christians

You can barely pray together

You were never meant to be this way

You're a body not a denominational hierarchy

When you don’t support each other

I can slide between

Oh, it’s too easy to keep you apart

So your power is halved

Each kingdom for itself

Instead of buying souls you’re buying something else

Can you imagine what would happen

if you stopped

Storing up treasure for moths?

More than you’ll ever need

You’ll never see the urgency upon your generation

I mean, this could be the

freaking tribulation!

Keep you distracted with a false security

Drunk on your luxuries,

just let the comforts squeeze

Till your spirit cannot breath

I don’t tell you that God has put His future into you

His Bride is all He dreams about when He’ll come back for you

One Bride without a blame,

without a stain and without any flaws

The Bride He died for

I never tell you

That the earth is groaning

for the sons of God

To stand their ground!

No i don't tell you

‘Bout the power in Her unity,

the Bride of Christ!

Why would I tell you

the Truth?

By this shall all men know that

you are my disciples:

If you have love one for another,

one for another...
