Duplicitous Endeavor by Tourniquet Lyrics
True colors always shine through
Tell me, is this the real you?
It seems you'd sell your soul for fame
And trade in lies to build a name
Insisting you're misunderstood
Deception breeding destruction as you deny
You want to redefine the truth
Rewrite the facts to better suit
Truth's not what you or I decide
Tell a lie a million times, it's still a lie
Deception breeding destruction as you deny
"The vague and tenuous hope
That God is too kind to punish the ungodly
Has become a deadly opiate
For the consciences of millions
It hushes their fears and allows them
To practice all pleasant forms of iniquity
While death draws every day nearer
And the command to repent goes unheeded."
Deception breeding destruction as you deny
Deception
Deception breeding destruction as you deny
Tell me, is this the real you?
It seems you'd sell your soul for fame
And trade in lies to build a name
Insisting you're misunderstood
Deception breeding destruction as you deny
You want to redefine the truth
Rewrite the facts to better suit
Truth's not what you or I decide
Tell a lie a million times, it's still a lie
Deception breeding destruction as you deny
"The vague and tenuous hope
That God is too kind to punish the ungodly
Has become a deadly opiate
For the consciences of millions
It hushes their fears and allows them
To practice all pleasant forms of iniquity
While death draws every day nearer
And the command to repent goes unheeded."
Deception breeding destruction as you deny
Deception
Deception breeding destruction as you deny
