IT BLEW IN LIKE A CRUEL WIND
RIGHT OUT OF THE DARKNESS IT CAME
SILENT- NO ONE NOTICED
LIKE A WHISPER IN A HURRICANE, HEY!
THE DEVIL'S GREATEST TRICK
IS TO MAKE YOU THINK HE DON'T EXIST
LIKE A SHADOW CREEPIN' ACROSS THE LAND
TO DAMN THE SAVED AND SAVE THE DAMNED
TURNIN' LIES TO TRUTH AND BACK AGAIN
THEY DO IT ALL BY SLEIGHT OF HAND, SLEIGHT OF HAND
RECORDS BREAKIN', WEATHER'S CHANGING
WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT
PEOPLE PRAYIN' AND COMPLAINING
BUT IT'S STILL GETTING HOTTER THAN HOT
THE DEVIL'S GREATEST TRICK
IS TO MAKE YOU THINK HE DON'T EXIST
LIKE A SHADOW CREEPIN' ACROSS THE LAND
TO DAMN THE SAVED AND SAVE THE DAMNED
TURNIN' LIES TO TRUTH AND BACK AGAIN
THEY DO IT ALL BY SLEIGHT OF HAND, HEY
IT'S PART OF THE PLAN
TO STOP US BREAKIN' THE CHAIN OF COMMAND
EVERYONE'S WATCHING BUT NOBODY SEES
YOU BETTER OPEN YOUR EYES, OPEN YOUR EYES WHILE YOU CAN, WHILE YOU CAN HEY
WHEN YOU PULL BACK ON THE CURTAINS
IS IT A MAN OR IS IT MACHINE?
I KNOW ONE THING THAT'S FOR CERTAIN
IT AIN'T YOU AND IT AIN'T ME
OOH, LIKE A SHADOW CREEPIN' ACROSS THE LAND
TO DAMN THE SAVED AND SAVE THE DAMNED
TURNIN' LIES TO TRUTH AND BACK AGAIN
THEY DO IT ALL BY SLEIGHT OF HAND
SLEIGHT OF HAND, SLEIGHT OF HAND
