Lyrics
The Illusion
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.
Can you really believe that all you see is real
Do you read the news and think that’s
How it really happened
You need to understand that
You only know what they want you to
You can master your life in freedom or chains it’s your choice
The illusion – don’t get lost in a maze of lies
The illusion – to pretend is not to be
The illusion – turn from a fool to a seeker
The illusion – the distraction to make us weaker
Force fed by the powers
Controlling the outlets
Your opinion, a fabrication of rights
That have been wronged
You need to disconnect from
The world surrounding you
Look behind the smokescreen
To see what’s really going on
The illusion – only the wise will see it clear
The illusion – wake up to embrace the truth
The illusion – fight the oppression of your mind
The illusion – don’t blend in with all the blind
The illusion – turn from a fool to a seeker
The illusion – the distraction will make us weaker
The illusion – fight the oppression of your mind
The illusion – don’t blend in with all the blind
