elegy - master of deception lyrics

[music, lyrics & vocal melody: ian parry]

obsessed with dominance,
he crushes each person who innocently crosses his path.
his adrenalin thrives on a need to destroy basis.
his skill to deceive gains him vast wealth and fortune.
however any trace of his original character
or identity vanishes into oblivion.

[verse]
no compromise, no words can make him see
he's elevated to a higher level
to feed a need, let the adrenalin flow
a warped sensation, deceit is blissful

[bridge]
mystified by lies, demoralizing
no second glance, face to face
thru' those naked eyes, captivating
he'll suck you dry, and leave no trace

[chorus]
once inside your head, the captive mind his game
manipulates his way, terrorizing
secrets kept alive, subconscious thoughts awake
watch him take control, hypnotizing

[verse]
a master of, pure deception
his testimony that, that he's a freak of nature

[repeat bridge & chorus]

[ad-libs]
take a look into those eyes
and i can tell you what you'll see
