Deceiver - ill will you deny

Betrayer of trust you defile

False logic, the truth you defy

Of heart icy cold, turned to black

Razor-wire words of attack

With thrust of the blade to my back

PRE-CHORUS 1:

And watching your fables unfold

In time truth be told

CHORUS:

I will always be the better man

I will always be the best man that I can

So come on twist the knife, my friend

But I'll still be here at the end

And soon you'll see you've lost it all...

So now, tansparent - I see through your lies

Facade torn, betrayed, no surprise

Remaining respect cast aside

As plain as the day now it's clear

Playing the game, insincere

Caught up in your own web of tears

PRE-CHORUS 2:

And watch as your crocodile smile

Is betrayed by your eyes

REPEAT CHORUS

SOLO: Mav Stevens

REPEAT CHORUS x 2
