Deception Songtext / Lyric

Deception Lyrics
Amelia: So you must travel to the German Confederation. There are no clues as the paths that weave underground. That information dies with my father.
Jagman: And this is all you can tell me?
Amelia: This is all, my Lord!
Jagman: You fool – And how easy it is to manipulate fools.
Amelia: I don’t understand.
Jagman: Then let me make it perfectly clear. Jagman:
Do you truly think I’d guarantee defence?
Let you walk away despite the consequence

Amelia:
Under God, you are honour bound
How could you throw this promise down?

Jagman:
Do not bore me with your talk of right and wrong
There’s a higher plan that I am working on

Amelia:
You have learned what you need from me
Surely now you can set me free

Amelia & Jagman:
Only fools live by promises and dreams

Jagman:
There is no justice here

Amelia & Jagman:
That’s the way it’s always been
Only fools choose to live by holy bonds

Jagman:
There can be no redemption

Amelia & Jagman:
We’ve stopped to far beyond

Jagman:
Hard to comprehend that I would truly ever
Reach a point where I complete my life’s endeavours
Not long now, just the merest breath
I will reign over life and death

Amelia & Jagman:
Only fools live by promises and dreams

Jagman:
There is no justice here

Amelia & Jagman:
That’s the way it’s always been
Only fools choose to live by holy bonds

Jagman:
There can be no redemption

Amelia:
You have your answers
Now I pray you grant me freedom
And I will gladly travel far away from here
I only want to leave these nightmares far behind me
And live a quiet life for my remaining years

Jagman:
Well – I’m afraid to say your time on earth is short
And soon your execution will prove
All things can be bought

Amelia:
You are foul
Oh so far beyond the pale
By all things just it’s you
Should be languishing in goal

Amelia & Jagman:
Only fools live by promises and dreams

Jagman:
There is no justice here

Amelia & Jagman:
That’s the way it’s always been
Only fools choose to live by holy bonds
There can be no redemption here

Jagman: I bid you farewell, Amelia Darvas!
