From the 1999 album "Omega Conspiracy"
The god sighed and silence was born
A tortured life is spared of vision
And it's painful when it's worn
The cloak of shame spares no protection
His world is made of steel
In his hands he bent the fire
To mold a thing so real
A burning world born of desire
Chorus:
His hope was not enough
To fill an empty cup
He simply let it drain into the nowhere
There is no reckoning
There is no bargaining
In symbol rain will fall as he lays weeping
We stand below rinsed by the tears
Unlike rain they bring no healing
Rust corrodes the souls
Of children wrought to match his image
Abandoned with all of his cares
No choice but to wait for the kindness of time
To erase us one and all
To flow like a river with no beginning
Head in hands and weary eyes
The failures scratch and carve the lines
Into the face of one
The lines into the face of none
He sees the world
He sees his dreams
And nothing's ever as it seems
The promise was so real
Now all that's left is crumbled steel
No prayers are said in his name
Nobody knew that he ever existed
Alone he accepts all the blame
Plaintively wonders how dreams become twisted
And he waits for another to come
Another, a chance to revive from the nothing
The fabric to weave once again
To forge from the fire his vision of man

![Incubus - The Deceived Ones
From the 1990 album Beyond the Unknown
Bowing down to an angel cast out by god
Worshipping a deceitful enemy
Whos laughing at their pride in following him
Considering everyone to be merely human pigs
Under his cunning and evil eyes
[Chorus:]
A multitude is in total chaos
Knowing not the deceived ones that they are
Asking for power, richness and desire
The price that they must pay
Is their souls thrown into a cauldron of fire
By being weak and blind
The fools disrespect the christian houses of god
They are the opposite of all that is holy
Locked in cages of sins
How can they reject the creator of all living things
The almighty god hears the prayers from holy priests
And christians alike, forgiveness for them is at hand
But curses shall fall upon those that refuse to repent
Gods only begotten son was scourged, mocked and put
To death and resurrected on the third day
Proved his powers to demonstrate
How goodness always prevails
Followers of damnation march on in their darkest ways
Falling to see and admit the truth that Christ left for us today
[Repeat chorus] Incubus - The Deceived Ones](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/u8s3fu6wQ9o/mqdefault.jpg)
