Lyrics
The Great Deceit
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Resound the outcry
Raise the signal of distress
We are compromised
They have silenced our dissent
A dull complacency covers humanity
This systematic hate of deceit
How many more will die before we realize
The truth has been disguised?
Violence increased
No justice and no peace
In the great deceit
The discontent silenced or put to death
In the great deceit
It’s mental slavery
Our segregation
Is further fed by ignorance
This disconnection
Through color of the flesh
Blood of generations
Saturate our roots
But history conceals the truth
Violence increased
No justice and no peace
In the great deceit
The discontent silenced or put to death
In the great deceit
This is the great deceit
How can we breathe?
The silence is killing me
How can we breathe?
Who is the enemy
How can we breathe?
Suffocate humanity
How can we breathe?
No justice. No peace
(Violence)
No justice and no peace
In the great deceit
The discontent silenced or put to death
In the great deceit
It’s mental slavery
