„Devil in Disguise“ sets the thesis for the entire record, warning of a world without light where false prophets manipulate the vulnerable. The lyrics depict a bleak landscape where past, present, and future feel eroded by misplaced trust, leaving the protagonist to walk a lonely path into the unknown. It serves as a stark wake-up call regarding the consequences of ignoring one’s own instincts. False prophets is a concept that you will find in several songs.
Dark skies leave no shadows
No more sun, no more moon
The path is broken
No more leading
Nor to the shadows
Nor to the light
Gotta trust your instincts
The false prophets are waiting
[CHORUS]
Future is gone
Nowhere to hide
Devil in Disguise
Past is gone
Somewhere lost
Devil in Disguise
The present day
Will be gone
Devil in Disguise
No more flowers to cherish
No more birds flying
In the dawning sun
You gave your best
That wasn’t enough
Now you’re obsolete
Didn’t trust your instincts
The false prophets have arrived
[CHORUS]
[OUTRO]
You left the path
That unfolded
Before your eyes
You walk on your own
No one’s going to help
No one’s going to listen
Your voice will be lost
Nothing you can do
The abyss of lost souls
Will await you
Will await you
Will await you
