Grand Illusion

Trading their lives on the TV-screen Telling us all what to be Act like they're gods, egos inflated Can't believe you'd fail to see Other lives on the great divide And hungry you swallow their scheme Small-minded fools, all so conceited Don't you know that they're never quiete what they seem As weird as if a dream Another fool, one more crossing the line Won't believe, a mad man leads the blind So follow your heart and hear them cry Because fools never die Crawl on your knees for your world to grow A round of applause and you go In with the freaks, swallow our poison Never thought you'd stoop this low

I tried to leave you But there you are Feeding me your point of view So why'd you come here To smother me When I can't make you disappear And you, will never betray me anymore It's true they say, that time will tell, what parts we play Never trust a stranger No more trials and endless wars Never trust a stranger Before your final day, then come what may We did it your way Now look at me Then tell me what you really see I know it kills you And I don't care I'd like to drag you down here too

Like a thunder storm it's breaking out Won't take another blow, and, I'll let you know I'll never kneel or falter 'Cause you are not the only I'm not crawling back again I'm still alive Though I'm old, trite and weary And I know I'm alive enough To stand my ground So there is nothing to revive - I'm still alive I tried to wash away those filthy lies Betrayed and led astray, I just walked away In my darkest hour I still hear you breathing Well, you won't get the best of me

Here we are, travelled on forever Thought we had it all, but never got that far Carry on; tell us what we're fighting for Free us from what we are Why is nothing meant to last? Forever and ever Trying to leave it all behind We're all afraid to walk away Forever, wherever Trying to find our peace of mind Fighting for something undefined Hollow one, on the edge of never Thought you had it all, in the barrel of a gun Point the way; shoot those blanks into the dark Tell us we're moving on In the future of the past? Leave it all behind...

Man is but a liar A coward and a thief The things that we aspire And hide behind belief We claim it's for the maker And do his righteous deeds It's time for all us fakers To solely name it greed We all know it's someone That pulls our weight One fate, the final hour Brave new world, depraved new ways While the piper plays on through our wasted days Brave new world, still unheard Crying out for more, I am god Welcome age of reason Teach us to conform Wise men call it treason Straying from the norm So buy that costly promise Shove it down your throat Choke up on their slander Buy that precious vote As the clock keeps turning We know it's over now The walls are closing in

There it comes the ship of nails Down the river it's setting sails Now I see why they're all so pale I carry the dead and the bizarre, I am Naglfar What would your recommend? Could you help me to comprehend? Will this mean I'm forever condemned? Well, that's what you get for killing your best friend Don't get me wrong I killed him all right, but he stabbed me first I'm not the one, but that's not the worst... It cuts like a knife An eye for an eye It cuts like a knife I've come for your life I don't know, what to do Can't you see what I'm going through? Here I am, if I only knew I'm back to reign again

I've been too blind to see It's not the world I know you promised me But sometimes we hide who we really are You say you're not sorry for all that you did, for going too far While we are trying harder Falling deeper But we are only what we are Nothing can help us from falling Hoping we'd come to the fore I'm not afraid, and I won't be your slave anymore No one can stop us from trying Hoping we'd settle the score We're at the end of our rope At the end of our rope What's left to know on the other side? Maybe it's time I rest my troubled mind Well sometimes we fight what will never die Seems like we know that we're trying too hard, it's sucking us dry

Follow the light, do as they say It's never ending Unlock the beast you keep inside you Swallow your breath, wait for the call You'll walk the thin line Welcome to your destiny Do like the others You won't be afraid Fall to the ground and pray again Never ending They're all waiting for the call One step away from it all Never ending Always trying, never finding Shelter from the storm Wake up in the world, all playing god Won't feel so hollow The silent voice is there to guide you Slipping away? Reach out your hand They'll give you shelter Welcome to eternity

Ease the pain, no more dying It's the answer that takes you higher Just find your voice, that inner fire Break the rules, and, point that finger They're all trying to pull you down Just walk up straight and let them know you lost your faith Never turn and walk away Just spit back in their face Forget those games they play We're hungry Until we come undone We'll travel down those empty highways There's no way Before it all begun Falling one by one One by one No more fear, no more hunger Let them know that it's all in vain Now who are they, to tell you what to think and say?

It's like you said, the world is growing colder It's in your eyes, we know that it's dying No return, the weight is on our shoulders So who do we turn to? Where do we go now? Their empty hearts two faced and brazen They turned their backs and tried to, see it through We know they'd all agree tommorow's a memory And it's all because of you We are calling for deliverance Because we know it's over soon We are calling for deliverance And we know, yes we know that we all wait for the call It's like they knew, the world was going under Here we are, left, torn asunder Now that all is lost, no one would disagree That it's all because of you
