You are the power and the glory

You are the weakness in defeat

Like the rise and fall of the british empire

You make me sick with your conceit



You are, you are the weakness

You are, you are, you are

The sickness thats in my soul

You are you are you are the maker

You are called greed and youre a cheat

You are you are you are the deceiver

You are not welcome in my life



You are the maker of illusions

You break up every dream weve ever made

And as i rise up from the ashes

Wouldn't you believe it

You raise your ugly head

Have you no shame



Too long, too long you have lain there

Too far too long too strong

Oh i will break your hold

You are you are you are the maker

You are called greed and youre a cheat

You are you are you are the deceiver

You are not welcome in my life



You are, you are the weakness

Within us

You are, you are, you are, you are the sickness thats in my soul

You are you are you are the maker

You are called greed and youre a cheat

You are you are you are the deceiver

You are called greed and youre a cheat



(you are, you are, you are the maker)

You sow the seeds for our destruction

(you are called greed and youre a cheat)

You break up everything weve done

(you are, you are, you are the deciever)

You hold your hands out for forgiveness

You bite the hands the hands that feed ya



You are you are you are the maker

You are called greed and youre a cheat



What promted you to give it away



You are you are you are the deceiver

You are called greed and youre a cheat



You are the downfall



You are you are you are the deceiver
