Counterfeit King Lyrics & Chords By Randy Stonehill

Oh.

Counterfeit king in the garden that he stole,
He's the outlaw with the diamonds in his eyes,
Like an angel of light, he'll seduce your wandering soul,
He's a master of the beautiful disguise.

He has reaped what he's sown in his fatal act of pride,
And he tumbled down like lightning from the sky,
And his only desire is to brand us just like him,
For in loving our own lives we're doomed to die,
We're doomed to die.

Now we're all out on a tightrope, too proud to think we'll fall,
You can choose the freedom of God's love,
Yes, we're all out on a tightrope, too proud to think we'll fall,
You can choose the freedom of God's love,
I said, you can choose the freedom of God's love or laugh and lose it all, oh,
You can laugh and lose it all.

Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Yeah.

(Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, "Yea, hath God said ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?" And the woman said unto the serpent, "We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden, but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, "Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die." And the serpent said unto the woman, "Ye shall not surely die; for God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.)

So beware of the words that he'll whisper to your heart, for he'll burn you with his twisted tongue of fire,
And the song that he sings, it's like poison to the soul,
He's the counterfeit king and he's a liar,
He's just a liar, yeah.

Beautiful, beautiful liar,
He's a beautiful liar,
Beautiful liar, yeah,
Beautiful liar,
He is a liar.

Beautiful liar,
Beautiful liar, yeah,
He's just a liar, oh.

He's just a beautiful liar,
Beautiful, beautiful liar,
He's just a beautiful liar,
He's just a beautiful liar,
He's just a liar,
Beautiful liar,
Beautiful liar,
