Loktavious – Dedicated To The Deceptive Gods lyrics

[Verse 1: Loktavious]

Deceptive gods they live among us
Shaping the world that we view
Against all odds we give abundant
Statistics of what we do
To corporate drones, to hallmark clones
And the ones who love us too
With perspective flaws and selective cause
They are trying to control you
Who you ask?
Well that's a pretty broad question
Reel it back
2008 election
Did you study the facts?
Or were you pushed in a direction?
By your family or bad ads
Or a homie with a political erection?
Closer inspection reveals that it really didn't matter
Who ever won was the one to deal with disaster
I bet you right now POTUS is conversing with a master
Wishing that his term in office would end a little faster
I mean Your hair don't go from all black to grey white
Unless you've seen a secret that should never see light
Unless you've heard those sounds that are too dark for the night
Unless you know of the gods that intervene with delight

[Chorus x2]

Deceptive gods they live among us
And they do not hear you pray
They can be your love, your light, your life and they can take it all away
Deceptive gods they live among us
And they do not hear you pray
They can be your love, your light, your life and they can take it all away

[Verse 2: Loktavious]
Conspiracy the sheep say, hypnotized by bias puppets
Mothers, fathers, siblings, cousins memorized by Gia's trumpets
And those with open eyes, are Terrorized by Vyas covenants
Doomed to die divided, while paralyzed by many Dyas summits
I digress, and suggest the vampires that claim to care
Are only there to drink you bare, all living nightmares
Sometimes they are as simple as a passerby that stares
Or more discreet like those that sleep Inside demonic lairs
Tied and bound by their own will, gods that have forgot
Shells of what they once were, conformers of a plot
Others in silence rise, and now terrorize another's flock
You are all caught in the middle
And the cycle will never stop
Unless we take what these nameless deities have carved
From our world to make a profit leaving others starved
And shift the focus to move forward and stop leaving families scarred
Or we could stay inside our phones and watch the world from the yard


[Chorus x2]

Deceptive gods they live among us
And they do not hear you pray
They can be your love, your light, your life and they can take it all away
Deceptive gods they live among us
And they do not hear you pray
They can be your love, your light, your life and they can take it all away

[Verse 3: Loktavious]

I think the worst are the gods who claim to stay forever but never do
Who play with hearts like marionettes their selection never few
Pretending to be innocent sinking teeth in as you get a closer view
The ones who claim to live life largely and love but not with you
I hate these deceptive gods, pushing us to friendly demons with ease
We try to mingle with dancing angels but it's like we have a disease
Not loving one another because the last left with a harsh freeze
They tell you be free, and prosper, but what is allowed is a small tease

[Chorus x2]

Deceptive gods they live among us
And they do not hear you pray
They can be your love, your light, your life and they can take it all away
Deceptive gods they live among us
And they do not hear you pray
They can be your love, your light, your life and they can take it all away
