about
In religion, a false prophet is a person who falsely claims the gift of prophecy or divine inspiration, or to speak for God, or who makes such claims for evil ends.
In this song, the false prophet is a man who seduces with his attractive lies.
Originally released on the EP 'Barbed Wire and Brass' (2020)

lyrics
Every time you look into his eyes a switch goes dead in your head
Then every little lie he wants to try will find a home in your bed
Tell me that you’ll exercise some caution when he says ‘you’re the one’
He’s a prophet of the falsest kind so don’t come back to me,
when he’s gone
He’s a dead loss, waste of space who wouldn’t know the truth
if it walked right past him
You can’t see what we see, he’s simply an apology
so just ignore him
He would sell every member of his family
if he found a buyer
Can’t trust a single syllable that he utters with a grin
when he says God loves a tryer
Turn round and start running, you should have seen him coming
His promises have pie-crusts, easily made and broken
Every time you look into his eyes a switch goes dead in your head
Then every little lie he wants to try will find a home in your bed
Tell me that you’ll exercise some caution when he says ‘you’re the one’
He’s a prophet of the falsest kind so don’t come back to me,
when he’s gone
Don’t look into his e - - y - - e - - s ... he’s a false prophet
Don’t look into his e - - y - - e - - s ...
Don’t look into his e - - y - - e - - s ...
Don’t look into his e - - y - - e - - s ...
