Lyrics
A Retreat into Delusions
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The fear is closing in on us
Let the carnival of Cain commence
We'll never see the end of days, submit to the pain
We shall no longer hold the cards, shatter all rules
Hatred confronting hatred
Making room for the final clash
We're setting foot on a soil that once destroyed our homes
Now the panic is changing side; brief shining flash
Adapting to hardships and boundaries
Hung in the balance, directing our doom
We have fallen prey to the lackey of death
In order to paint us as invaders, we fall
Slow agony of starvation
Open eruption of hostility
We shall drag the world into destruction with us
No prospect of peace raining down from the sky
Close your eyes, my friend
Leave the twinge behind
Close your eyes again
I'll never leave you
Smug and arrogant
Bound to throttle us
Earning world-wide acclaim
Age of diffidence
Rigidly holding out
Battles of argument
Men of illusion break
Fall of an idol
Summoned to coup d'état
Distant from the deed
Fear marching with us
Retreating into delusions [x 3]
