Satan, the Devil, Lucifer; the Christian Scriptures give this unsavory character a number of names. He is depicted as a liar, a deceiver and ultimately a loser. Enough imagery there to write a song about!

Introducing the greatest talent ever to emerge from the orange bedroom at my parents house. I play guitar like.... well, like a guy playing guitar. I tickle ivories. I twiddle on the computer. I sometimes enjoy beans on toast for breakfast. And in the cracks between the eating, sleeping, laughing, crying, working, breathing experience that is my life there sometimes slips out songs like these.

Story behind the song
Christian Scripture pictures Satan as a defeated foe. He is described by various titles... a fallen angel, a liar, a deceiver. Used to play this one with Christian Rock band 'Bananas.' When I was in theological college, it was translated into Welsh and a version played by Christian Rock band "Boanerges.' Always a fun one to play live, so thought it worth revisiting.
Lyrics
Deceiver Adrian J Pratt 1976 You may think you've got it made And your friends outnumber all But even though you've got some power You're destined to fall Even if you took me It wouldn't change the odds In the end you're going to lose The battles already lost. Just when I started walking You tried to pull me down But there's no way you'll find me crawling You can't push me around Prince of evil. The devil's your real name Lies and doubts Your only claim to fame You're a deceiver, But I'm a believer, You're a deceiver You're a deceiver, But I'm a believer, You're a deceiver (Instrumental) I hear your voice blaspheming As I see you cower from God And at the rebuke of the Son Your light turns to dark So... no... you deceiver There's just no way Victory Won't be yours on that day See how you have fallen Oh bright morning star You say that you want to be like God Well who do you think you are? Prince of evil The devil's your only name And lies and doubts Your only claim to fame. You're a deceiver, But I'm a believer, You're a deceiver You're a deceiver, But I'm a believer, You're a deceiver You're a deceiver, But I'm a believer, You're a deceiver
