Deceived

Don't reach for the sky; clipped your wings, you can't fly
They told me to clap my hands and worship, it's the tradition of the man
Bow down to what you tell me to do, live the way you say is right
Under false pretense, under a shaded light
We're all sincere, in what we believe, but what you don't know,
The story they told, oh yeah left you deceived
So I bowed down to the idols thy gave
I paid the tithing to say I'm saved
I sacrificed my spirit at the alter of lies
And never knew that's where I died
Under false pretense, under a shaded light
I didn't go easily I put up a fight
Deceived, deceived the great deception
That's swallowing the seed
Woe, woe the pastor don't now for him come
A dreadful day, but JAH say 'for mine I shorten the day, the time
I'll drop them a line, pull you out of quick sand, save the seed
The redemption of human
Its not the way I thought it would be a horse fly through the sky
The rapture some how lifted me, now it sounds like mythology
And I'm free from being deceived
It's like I couldn't see the forest from the trees
