“Behind the Lethal Deceit” 是一張概念式專輯，藉由專輯歌詞本內四封
“喬瑟夫與凱特的家書”，我們可以一窺在戰火肆虐的年代裡，
人民生離死別的悲傷與無奈；隨著戰爭巨輪被時間緩緩的推動，
家書裡再平凡不過的話語，竟點點滴滴流露出戰事的慘烈與野心當權者的可憎。

給摯愛的凱特：
當你讀著這封信時，我已經搭上了開往前線的列車，趕赴祖國的徵召。
即使必須面對你我別離的不捨、甚至面對未知戰場的血腥廝殺，
但我已將對你的滿懷思念，化為無比堅定的勇氣。如今我將在戰場上盡我一己之力，
捍衛你的安全，保衛祖國的榮耀。我倆分離的每一日，也許你會守在收音機旁，
擔心著我的安危。不過你大可放心，我剛好與埃弗瑞分發在同一支部隊；
在戰場上沒有任何一個人比自己的親兄弟更可靠了！
當然，為了你，我還是會好好的照顧自己。
另外，跟你說件開心的事，我們的元首向我們保證，
這場戰爭會在冬天第一片雪花飄落前結束。這是多麼令人振奮的消息啊！
我的思緒已經迫不及待地飛向我們約定好的聖誕假期了呢！
才分離不久，我卻如此渴望見到你。
祝你今晚有個好夢。
喬瑟夫

Dear Kate,
By the time you read this letter, I’ll already be on the transport train headed for the front line. You know how sad I was when I received the draft notice, but you might not realize how many times I’ve cried about our coming separation. People say that the war has become very brutal now. However, as long as I believe I’m fighting for your safety, I think I can make it through. Besides, Alfred is serving in the same regiment as me, and we brothers will take care of each other.
Our leader promises that the war will end before the winter. So hopefully, I’ll be home by Christmas. And I’m looking forward to that winter trip we planned so much before.
Love forever,
Joseph
