He feeds on fear
He feeds on hate
He rules again
With growing hate
He will gain their faith again
Light in the darkness is too small to see
There's always a sparkle of hope
If you just believe

He told the tale so many times
About the dream not meant to be
In the world of the free
He plays with your mind
As faith for the future faded fast
He grows strong with their displeasure
It sets him free

Deceiver of hearts
Deceiver of fools
He rules with fear
Deceiver of hearts
Deceiver of fools
He rules again

He feeds on fear
Poisons the truth
To gain their faith
To lead the way
To a world of decay

He rules your heart
He will sell your soul to the grave
Without a hesitation to make
He belongs to the dark

Please awake
And see the truth
He can only be
If you believe what he tells you
Remember who you are
What you stand for
And there will always be a way

In my heart there is a place
In my heart there is a trace
Of a small fire burning
A sheltering ray shines through this night
Although it's small, it's bright
But darkness is lurking
He will sell your soul to bitterness and cold
All fear him

Deceiver of hearts
Deceiver of fools
He rules with fear
Deceiver of hearts
Deceiver of fools
Shall he rule again?

    "Please awake And see the truth He can only be If you believe what he tells you Remember who you are What you stand for And there will always be a way

    In my heart there is a place In my heart there is a trace Of a small fire burning A sheltering ray shines through this night Although it 's small, it's bright But darkness is lurking

    He will sell your soul to bitterness and cold Fear him

    Deceiver of hearts Deceiver of fools He rules with fear Deceiver of hearts Deceiver of fools Shall he rule again?"

    This is one of the most beautyful lyrics i've ever read. and i would say that above lines say everything. it says that we shouldn't just follow blindly the "opinions" of the majority, but that we should remember who we are and what is relly important.
